Holocaust Cannibal

Holocaust Cannibal is a film by prestiged director Bill Zebub. It is certainly amateurish, low budget, cheap and doesn't provide anything noteworthy.

The film lacks in any real content as far as a plot goes. The acting from the main cast is subpar and noticeably weak from certain actors.

It takes place seemingly in one location of the woods. Several scenes include slow motion fighting from both women and men which is severely cringe. It moves at a very slow pace.

Several scenes of random nude women with music playing in the background (perhaps one highlight is a comical 'rape' scene with heavy metal type music playing- it is played for laughs yet isn't funny but we understand it isn't meant be taken serious once we see the fake looking body parts and overall lack of emotion from the actors). The nudity is included to distract viewers from how awful the film is.

Overall the film isn't worth much of anything. It doesn't fall in the category of "so bad it's good", it is simply bad.

In all fairness, I watched the Director's Cut of this movie. Found on the "Absurd Horror" Blu-ray, and for whatever reason with 11 minutes cut out, I don't know how much this differs from the original DVD, but as I'm discovering with Bill Zebub's formula, it can't be much.

Movie takes place entirely in the woods, though the Nazis were supposed to have crash landed on an island populated by cannibals. What you've got is comic relief, slow-motion fights, some torture, implied sex (with the prerequisite extended light groping), and an ending that implies there was a story here somewhere. Alright, who likes their action SLOW and redundant? Honestly, I don't know who that is supposed to appeal to.

What it all adds up to, is a campy exploitation picture? Maybe? Which I'm all for, but Zebub makes the proceedings excessively slow, with essentially no plot (I mean, there is a premise, but it doesn't go anywhere). What has puzzled me most, is how he gets such beautiful women to appear in these crappy movies. In this, all but one is totally nude, and there's always an appearance by the vejay. Lydia Lael is amusing as a valley girl... er, Nazi, Zebub rambles. Assuming he is constantly ad-libbing, the concentration camp survivor at the end was having trouble keeping a straight face. Anyway, kudos to the guy for getting the women he does to do the things they do, but yeah, still not a good movie.

I knew that it wasn't going to be an amazing professional Hollywood movie with great acting and an amazing director. I enjoy watching awful low budget movies from time to time, but this movie is the bottom of the pile when it comes to terrible movies. I probably would've appreciate the nudity when I was 13 or 14, but as an adult the girls in this flick had the complete opposite results. As a matter of fact, if one was attempting to be celebit or whatever reason, this is the movie for you. If you were looking for a movie that would be helpful in pitching a tent, i would suggest an ISIS beheading video or something like the The Cove over this garbage.

At the time of writing three quarters of the IMDb ratings were 1/10 which is fair.
