Man - bad green liquid and frequent pans and zooms. That was to cover the bad special effects, but it made plenty of theatergoers sick. The film’s other gimmick is to rapidly zoom in and out, like Fulci on speed, any time a monster shows up. Years later, Sam Sherman said that he came up with this idea and when he drank one of the packets, he got incredibly sick. The film starts with an initiation, as at some theaters, you were given a packet of green liquid and asked to recite the oath of green blood so that you could watch the unnatural green-blooded ones without fear of contamination. He moved to the Philippines and got to work. This film was syndicated to TV as Tomb of the Living Dead and is also known as The Mad Doctor of Crimson Island, because in some states like Rhode Island, the word blood wasn’t allowed to be used when advertising a movie.Īfter Brides of Blood, John Ashley discovered that the film was so well-received that distributors asked him to make more. Eddie Romero and Gerardo de Leon are back in the directing chair and this time, they’ve brought even more blood, beasts and boobs than they did in their last effort, Brides of Blood. Review by planktonrules from the Internet Movie Database.Ten years after we first got to Blood Island, we’re back. Talk about a BAD time to get naked!! And, for that matter, I STILL don't think this makes it worth seeing this dull flick. However, her finally taking off her clothes made no sense at all, as the Stinky Cheese ManMan-Bear-Pig or whatever it is was still roaming the island killing. If you INSIST on seeing Pettyjohn naked, then by all means jump ahead to about the 76 minute mark to see the naughty bits. ![]() Although she's an amazingly beautiful woman, she keeps her clothes on for most of the film-and there's not that much of her to see when she does. Oh, and for all the Star Trek fans, if you DO want to see the film just to see Miss Pettyjohn naked, don't bother. The only reason it gets a 2 is that the guts were reasonably realistic-and much of them were real guts. Otherwise, it's just too dull and stupid to recommend. Overall, this is the sort of film you might actually want to see.if you are having friends over and want to do your own home version of "Mystery Science Theater". In addition, there is a bit of not particularly enticing gratuitous nudity in the film-pretty hot stuff for 1968, but not very explicit (or sexy) by today's standards-and not enough to encourage the perverts out there to seek out the film. Surprisingly, for a low budget film, it has intense gore that actually is amazingly realistic and gross-so people who love looking at guts from a butcher shop will enjoy the film (and at least half the $219.87 budget went for animal guts and realistic blood). Plus, it let the dumber members of the audience know when to be afraid (though it may just make you nauseous). It was very unpleasant but tended to hide the stupidity of the monster makeup. To heighten the horror (i.e., to cover up the fact it was all so dull), the film maker decided to have the camera zoom in and out again and again any time the monster appeared. MAD DOCTOR OF BLOOD ISLAND is clearly an ultra-cheesy low-budget film that has an extremely low production values-as evidenced by the silly script, occasionally bad acting and headache-inducing zoom. Who it is and why it behaves in such a nasty fashion is what the film is all about.if you particularly care (which I did not). But, to their surprise, the island is a killing ground for the stupid looking creature. An agent from the government and a missing doctor's daughter arrive on the island to investigate. The film is about a strange island where people have green blood and a freaky monster that looks like Man-Bear-Pig (or is it the stinky cheese man?) lives. While not a great actress, her striking looks and assets are hard to miss. Miss Pettyjohn gained some measure of fame among sci-fi geeks for appearing as the silver-haired Shanna in the original STAR TREK (in "The Gamesters of Triskelion"). ![]() Other than an opportunity to watch a bad film, the other reason to see MAD DOCTOR OF BLOOD ISLAND is a chance to see Angelique Pettyjohn.
