Audience Member Cheesy and outdated "Jungle Horror" from Amando de Ossorio. Outdated attitudes toward women, race, and indigenous people greatly hampers this tale. There are only a couple of effective horror moments, but they are mostly undone by the ridiculous leopard-print and straw bikinis (with capes to match). Not one of Ossorio's best. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member The cinematography at times if horrible looks like someone got really fucking lazy with shining a light in the forest. But there's an odd attraction here and it proves more entertaining than boring. I especially like the last third made up of many slow motion shots of leopard bikini wearing vampire women and weird zombie tribesmen. The setting is perfect Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member de Ossorio's obsessions with topless women tied up and whipped or stabbed in ritual manner, zombies, and rape all rear their ugly heads in this cheapo Universal Monster's ripoff. The vampire leopard women bounce through the sandy forest, that passes for darkest Africa, in slow motion while a whirlwind of organ and creature sounds explode on the soundtrack. The leopard vampires are stupid, whispering dullards that have none of the ca-bash of the Blind Dead. Though there are black people, proving that not all brothers and sistahs got ryhtmn. Seriously, worst native frenzy dance ever. So by the time the gotcha ending pops up, no one cares anymore. Disappointing really. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
