The second disc, which contains the original Zombie Holocaust, has special features that dive more into the actual film itself. ![]() Here, the features dive into the history of how a crazy flick called Zombi Holocaust became the Grindhouse hit Doctor Butcher M.D. The first disc that contains Doctor Butcher M.D. is the one that goes into great detail about 42nd Street and the bizarre advertising done for the movie. It is the copious amounts of special features that will have people grinning ear to ear. It is not just the audio and visuals that make this release a slam dunk either. Top all that up with audio that slams out the terrible dubbing and crazy score to a pristine level and you got a bad film lover’s dream come true. We are getting two quality transfers that provide a full on Grindhouse feel. ![]() Severin Films has given these two films way more justice than they probably ever deserve. I cannot think of any reason why you would not want to watch it. Also, the dubbing will be ever so hilarious. It will not make sense it will have lots of gore, and you can rest easy knowing that there will be an excessive amount of flesh thrown around. and Zombie Holocaust are perfect examples of what can happen when you get a bunch of crazy Italians together and try to make a film about cannibals and zombies. It is a mashup of gore, boobies, the bush, and zombies… Italian zombies.īoth Doctor Butcher M.D. If you are wondering how this all connects to the opening of the movie, you are going to keep wondering as nothing connects in this film. Why are there zombies on the island? Well, that is because strange experiments are performed on the Islanders, and you make a lot more money with zombies.

While on their way to the island, their boat breaks down and they must stop at a different island. Coming along with Peter and Lori is the journalist Susan and her boyfriend George. Peter and morgue assistant Lori travel to the island of Keto to investigate why these immigrants are eating dead bodies in New York. I will now try to explain the plot for the movie, but please forgive me if my head explodes as I try to comprehend it.Ī rash of cannibals has been showing up in New York bearing the mark of the Keto tribe. Dr. The other big difference is that the M.D. Does this attached opening add any value? Not at all and it does not make a lick of sense. The biggest differences between the two versions are that Doctor Butcher M.D.’s opening is from a different unreleased short film titled Tales to Rip Your Heart Out. The story plays out the same and the end result is always going to be a confusing, poorly made bloody mess, but damn enjoyable. and Zombie Holocaust are nearly identical, save for a few different scenes. LANGUAGE: English, Italian (Zombie Holocaust)Īs I previously mentioned, Doctor Butcher M.D. ![]() If you are a fan of gore, Italian nonsensical schlock and an ample amount of full frontal nudity, this Blu-ray is going to be your ticket to the peepshow.

Originally released under the title Zombie Holocaust, Aquarius Releasing picked the film up and recut, re-edited and re-released as Doctor Butcher M.D. The overall story is the same as the original version, with a few slight differences. It was here that a lot of Grindhouse films made their big debut, and Doctor Butcher M.D. It was full of seedy theatres, porn everywhere and enough flesh to satisfy any craving. 42nd Street in the 80s seemed like my kind of place, minus the murder of course.
