We have some very serviceable performances here, and most of the cast takes the material seriously. If you like trash cinema, this is one of the very best examples.

I am exaggerating, of course, but the point is clear: This movie was made on VERY limited resources, but this did not stop director Eddie Romero and crew from cranking out a very watchable sausage. But this film, like many favorites of mine, manages to deliver the goods while costing about twenty dollars to make. Now, there are also a number of expensive Steven Spielberg movies that "deliver the exploitation goods," like, for example, "JAWS" and "JURASSIC PARK".

This film does deliver the exploitation goods, plus there's real characters and real story. Wow, they cut out a lot of stuff for TV! But all the cut material is happily on display here. I had some fine memories of seeing this (heavily edited) on TV when I was a kid, so I went and got the DVD.and it's really neat to see this completely uncut. Definitely not a film for the masses but for cult horror or monster movie fans there many be something to enjoy.Įddie Romero's "Blood Island Trilogy"! This is the second film in the series. John Ashley & Angelique Pettyjohn are the American stars, Ashley as with most in the film is as wooden as the set, Pettyjohn gives a decent turn (in fact she's the best actor in it), and looks stunning, the pacing is quite jarring, nothing happens for long periods but then suddenly the film sparks into life and actually becomes quite watchable, what isn't so watchable is Romero's constant need for fast in & out zooming of the camera, it's so annoying it will make many people switch it off.Ī Section 3 nasty here in the UK for the, quite bloody, violence and a scene (cut from the UK DVD) of a goat being tied and gutted, which will again be off putting for many. What isn't old is the effects, although not earth shatteringly wonderful there are severed limbs, heads being ripped off and enough blood & guts for everyone, it is quite surprising how violent the film is at times given how "old fashioned" the film is. The immediate feeling of the of the film seems very old fashioned even for 1969, the music sound like an old 40's B-Pic, the story (doctor contaminating man, creating monster) is fresh from a poverty row 1940's PRC/Monogram picture and even the monster looks old. Second of Eddie Romero's blood island trilogy and arguably the best, but this is still a very average monster movie. This, plus actions taken by Japan during World War II, bred animosity between the two countries, which is reflected in "The Wailing" through Kunimura's character his invasion of a small Korean village comes with the historical weight of decades of anger.A young woman goes to an island looking for her missing father, she accompanied by a young man who, whilst there begins to look into the mysterious attacks by "green men" and a sinister doctor who may have something to hide.

Korea was once under Japan's colonial power and experienced a series of atrocities at the hands of the Japanese. It's about religious fear, but also about the fear of the outsider.
