A surprisingly engaging horror b-flick from 1969, half man, half beast. The makeup for the creature is so bad it's hilarious. Do you like a little gore with your b-flick? Well this one has some choice scenes, not too much though including a guys eyeball being thumbed out. There is what I think but am not sure scene operating on the gorilla, it looks totally real like they used stock footage there. If not they sure did a good job. Using my Pinewoods Rating System, this flick receives Two & 1/4 Pinewoods...The Horror!!
Mad Mad Mad Mad Movies: Night of the Bloody Apes (1969): or, My Heart Belongs to Bonzo
In 1960s Mexico, female luchador Lucy Ossorio ( Norma Lazareno) is an athlete at the top of her game. Resplendent in her Red Devil mask and form-fitting crimson jumpsuit, every night she wrestles to a packed house of adoring, sweaty male fans, tossing her hapless opponents around the ring like lumpy bags of week-old laundry.
Night of the Bloody Apes (1969) Movie Review
"Night of the Bloody Apes" is a slice of schlock horror from 1968 which has long enjoyed a cult following, not least due to its high quotient of sex and violence, which actually led to the film being banned in the UK during the 1980s when it was listed as one of the dreaded 'video nasties'.
THE HORROR!!
