Another fun-filled voyage to Blood Island, courtesy of writer-producer-director (and otherwise-hyphenated) Filipino horror guru Eddie Romero, and
John Ashley, the frequent "star" of these South Seas monster epics -- meaning the camera is usually pointed in his general direction amid the usual parade of splashy gore and topless native girls. This sequel to
Mad Doctor of Blood Island finds medical maniac Dr. Lorca (Eddie Garcia) trying to inject life into a headless corpse... which is rather suggestive of this film as a whole. This is a more "authentic" sequel than
Al Adamson's
Brain of Blood (also "starring" Ashley), which is more of a dressed-up remake of the first film. ~ Cavett Binion, All Movie Guide
