n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Part of the short film wave in Mexico that combined extreme gore with wrestling (or 'lucha'), this low-budget horror was part of the 'video nasty' list in the UK. It tells the story of a brilliant surgeon, who when finding out his son will die from leukaemia, has the brilliant idea of giving him the heart of an ape. He thinks that by replacing his heart, his body will be able to sustain the chimp blood being pumped around his body. As a result, his son grows a big hairy face, terrorises the city and murders lots of people in particularly brutal fashion. Hot on the doctor's tale is Lt. Martinez (Armando Silvestre) and his wrestler girlfriend. Will they be able to stop the manic ape-man? Will the doctor be able to save his son from his affliction? Will the Mexican to English language translation ever manage to string an actual sentence together?As you would expect, this film is bad. First of all, the title is a lie. There are no apes involved, it involves a beast with a wrestler's body and a big hairy face. And there's only one of it. But I don't think that director Rene Cordona was striving for the next Citizen Kane (which is clear from the film's wildly imaginative alternative title, Horror And Sex). The film has plenty of enjoyable gore, and I mean plenty. But Tom Savini did not work on this film - instead I think a blind film student did. The bad effects are most evident when the beast is tearing open the throat of an one unfortunate, only for the close-up to reveal that he's clearly peeling of a large plaster, with the gore beneath.It is all rather enjoyable though, so I must give the film credit for that. The film's slender running time breezes by, and there's plenty of laughs to had in the stodgy dialogue, bullshit scientific discussions, and watching the beast butcher a seemingly endless amount of people. The main reason for the film's UK ban must be for the scenes of real open- heart surgery, which was spliced into the film upon it's US release by director Jerald Intrator (responsible for such classics as Satan In High Heels and The Curious Case Of Dr. Humpp). I refuse to believe that it's because of the extremely unrealistic and silly gore scenes. Not really a guilty pleasure, but certainly something to watch while refilling the glass of brandy and thinking of what film to put on next (in my case).www.the-wrath-of-blog.blogspot.com

Acclaimed Argentine horror director Emilio Vierya directs a script from Jack Curtis and Antonio Ross. Cheesy and ridiculous are in the mix for the method to the madness. A doctor's son is nearing his early death, until his desperate father transplants an ape's heart into his chest. As expected, things are going to get weird; when this young man turns into a mask wearing monster and roams the beaches scouting out nice looking party girls to make his slaves. When heroin is injected, his beauties become zombies. The monster summons his dazed minions with strange organ music. So bad...well...it's just bad. In the cast: Jose E. Moreno, Alberto Caneau, Mauricio De Ferraris, Gloria Prat and Gina Moret.

An incredibly successful combo of the Mexican 'Lucha Libre' genre with 70's style horror. And a dash of 'Mad Scientist' cliché's tossed in for spice.The original Mexican title was 'Horror y Sexo.' Tell me it doesn't fit perfectly.Great chase scenes.The gorillaman's make-up was horrible in both senses of the word. It ended at the neck. But it WAS ugly. And like a lot of classic horror films, it did make you nervous during the night scenes.The Mondo style heart surgery footage was a tinge gross. It didn't hurt the film, it didn't help either.Graphic (and I do mean GRAPHIC) violence will put some of you off. But I still liked it.

Night of the Bloody Apes is a bizarre little film. It features: bad acting, a ridiculous storyline, terrible special effects, inane dialogue, Grand Canyon size plot holes, a complete lack of logic, enough padding for two movies, an insane amount of blood and gore, a generous helping of nudity, some truly "unique" camera-work, and female luchadors. I generally hate this term, but it should be easy to see why I consider Night of the Bloody Apes "so bad its good". The movie is so full of excesses and poor taste that it's an absolute blast to watch. Night of the Bloody Apes may be a train wreck of a film, but I can't think of many movies that are this bad yet so fun to watch.I could go on and on describing moments for Night of the Bloody Apes like the utterly boring masked female wrestling matches or the eye gouging scene that looked like someone was squeezing cottage cheese, but I don't want to "ruin" it for anyone. You need to see this one for yourself.
