Watch Night of the Bloody Apes For Free

Wow! Such a good movie.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Is it King Kong? Was it Kongenstein? Or the son of Tarzan and Cheetah?! Really a case of difficult resolution, but the problem is that this beastly creature is brutally murdering innocent victims in the town. A nice way to start a script for a horror movie, huh? Certainly! And leaving our 'lovely' main character aside, the film still provides us with scenes of pet theft, clandestine medicine, wrestling, more violence and goretits, that is, it contains all the necessary prerequisites for a genuine work of terror and I believe at that time many hairs were standing - and of course some girls were traumatized forever when they leave the bath! Surely this story would have the potential to stamp the cover of a Tales from the Crypt magazine and going further, the subtlety of this plot goes so far as to refer us to the tale of our supreme genius of horror Edgar Allan Poe "The Murders in the Rue Morgue", really, that was a shot of genius! Finally, it's a movie that will please true horror fans who do not care for certain frills, those who prefer pomp, hi-tech and empty ideas of ostentation... Yoohoo!! Neymar awaits you in the xXx!! Bleeeerrrrggghh ..."Depth is in the valleys where we seek it, not at the top of the mountains where it is sighted." - Auguste Dupin

It's difficult to fathom why this outrageously shoddy exploitation quickie ever made the "video nasties" list in the first place; the film is packed with ludicrously fake gore scenes of rubber body parts being ripped and torn apart, so unrealistic as to be downright amusing. It's a wonder that our so-called government ever decided that this film could harm casual viewers and drive them to committing copycat crimes...Saying that, it's a lot of fun to just marvel at the sheer ineptitude on display here. The bare plot is served up as an excuse to have lots of graphic murders be committed, where the victims are mainly women who are always unlucky enough to get their tops ripped off while being attacked. Over and over again we go through the routines: scientists operate, monster escapes and kills people, monster is recaptured, scientists operate, monster escapes, ad infinitum. It's not a particularly awful premise, but the trouble is it never deviates from the expected route, which is strictly the norm.The gore is blatantly phoney, with bright red paint splashing about, although the makers certainly don't shy away from the violence, preferring to show heads being torn off in full glory. The biggest laugh comes where somebody has their eye poked out and a load of stuffing comes out along with it! Along comes an old woman who sees the body and runs down the street screaming "Argh! A dead man! A dead man!". It's hilarious.The acting is nondescript, the actors poorly dubbed. There are no sympathetic characters and the short running time is padded out with shots of masked women wrestling in a ring, those crazy Mexicans, huh? Although the monster is just a man in a mask, I will say that the mask is pretty effective and looks good, even if it's obvious that it is indeed a mask. In the supposed operations we get treated to footage of real-life open heart surgery, just the same as you can see when you turn on any hospital documentaries on BBC1 such as Children's Hospital. The most amusing thing is that the film cuts to these scenes with obviously three or four surgeons working on somebody, then cuts back to the actors playing the scientists... and there are only two of them! Definitely a discrepancy with the number of hands there. NIGHT OF THE BLOODY APES is definitely one of those so-bad-it's-good kind of films, and the best thing I can say about is that it's good for a laugh. Otherwise, if you're looking for a moving and serious piece of entertainment, forget it.

This cheap Mexican horror film is a remake of Rene Cardona's "Doctor of Doom" (1962), spiced with nudity, medical footage, women wrestling, and cheap gore shots.Where the title comes from is anyone's guess. There is plenty of blood and gore (and nudity), and at least one ape, but there is nothing in the film that could be summed up by this title. But, who can complain when what you get is every bit as wild as that name? This is worth watching, and probably one of the better films on the notorious "video nasty" list (besides, you know, all the Fulci and Argento). For sheer entertainment value, this is top notch.

With a bag full of hokey horror clichés, some messy gore, an eye for the healthy female form, and a flagrant disregard for scientific logic, Mexican director René Cardona gives us Night of the Bloody Apes, a heavy handed slice of South American madness, full of blood and gratuitous female nudity, that is good for a laugh if nothing else.The film opens with that staple ingredient of many a Mexican movie—the masked wrestling match—and sees diminutive, curvaceous grappler Lucy Ossorio (Norma Lazareno), resplendent in her bright red cat outfit, accidentally sending her opponent to intensive care with a sliver of bone embedded in her brain (Lucy is obviously a lot tougher than she looks).At the hospital, surgeon Dr. Krallman (José Elías Moreno) is unable to help the injured wrestler, but SHE may be able to help HIM: after giving his terminally ill son Julio the heart of a gorilla in an effort to cure him of leukaemia (I did say that the science was somewhat flaky), and accidentally turning him into an ugly, hulking brute with a penchant for attacking nubile young women (a common side effect of gorilla-to-human transplants?), Krallman now needs a human heart for a further life-saving operation—and hers is just the ticket!Some fun can be gleaned from the inept direction, unsubtle score, bad acting, and general shoddiness of production (watch out for the doctor's Ygor-like assistant, who clearly cannot be trusted when it comes to tying people up or boarding up windows—and the fake grass that slides around when stepped on), but it is definitely the nudity and gore that guarantees a good time: there are frequent shower scenes, dresses are shredded with ease, an eye gets gouged out, a head is removed, a scalp is torn off, and teeth are knocked out (none of which looks very convincing, thanks to a the use of ketchup and red paint as blood); the surgery scenes, on the other hand, are very convincing, because they are the 'Real McCoy'—Cardona used footage from actual operations to give his film a high yuck factor (and helped it find a place on the Official DPP UK Video Nasty list during the 80s).
