DEATH WARMED UP (DVD) zombie lobotomy gore horror from New Zealand

Wow - it has been awhile since we were able to add another zombie flick to the collection.  Not like your standard zombie fare, this interesting little film is apparently New Zealand's first feature horror production and was made 3 years before Peter Jackson finished his first feature BAD TASTE.  Look for a cameo of Braindead's Uncle Les as the ferry driver......




DEATH WARMED UP (1984)

     A deranged scientist is conducting experimental brain procedures on human test subjects in his secret lab on a remote island. Many of his test subjects suffer from extreme side effects caused by the procedures and transform into murderous blood-thirsty zombies.

     Arriving on the island is a group of youths that include the son of the scientist's chief rival. Ten years earlier, the mad doctor had hypnotized his rival's son to make him murder his own father.  Now, under the guise of a vacation, the young man has come back to track down the evil scientist and make him pay for his crimes on the human brain.

     This bizarre horror film from New Zealand is a kind of loose interpretation of the legendary "Island of Dr. Moreau" tale.  From the supremely nasty shotgun killings right at the beginning to the repugnant brain surgeries, impalement and juicy zombie make-up effects throughout, this a feature that delivers on the gore as well as atmosphere and style.
