Diagonaldi Very well executed

Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Lawbolisted Powerful

Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.

gavin6942 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.

LoneWolfAndCub Don't wish too much from this cheap Mexploitation flick except to have a damn good time, and with a title like Night of the Bloody Apes (although there is only one ape) what would you really expect! The film is ineptly made on all accounts, some of the more hilarious aspects include the random subplot involving a female wrestler feeling sorry for another female wrestler she injured, the poor dubbing and translations and general laziness in concealing goofs (a good example being the grass moving underneath someone's body revealing the stage).The story centres on a doctor who plans to cure his son's illness by performing a heart transplant with an ape. Unfortunately this turns the son into a dirty man-ape who wanders aimlessly and maims various people.There isn't much to see in this review really, I'm not gonna do some page-long dissection of all the different filmmaking aspects when really, the bottom-line is if you enjoy Grindhouse theatre then this movie was made for you, with all its inept special effects, uneven pacing and overall oddness.2½/5

BA_Harrison 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).

MovieGuy01 I enjoyed watching Night Of The Blody Apes,I found it to be quite a funny sort of horror film. This was a cheap Mexican horror film. Female masked wrestler Lucy beats an opponent a wrestling lady with a red costume like Catwoman. she hurls her opponent from the ring. A mad scientist (Dr. Krellman) attempts to cure his son's leukaemia by doing the first 'ape-to-human' heart transplant. He decides to put a gorilla's heart into the lad There is footage of a graphic open heart surgery inserted in the ape operation scenes. this causes the boy to turn into a big ape. He becomes deformed and mutated, as he grows facial hair and immediately goes on a bloody rampage, tearing clothes off women and faces off men. I found this to be quite a funny horror to watch at time
