After

SANGRE (Blood Red) and MUCHA
SANGRE, Paul Naschy went to Hollywood for two movies
COUNTESS
DRACULA'S ORGY OF BLOOD and Fred Olen Ray's TOMB
OF THE WEREWOLF(both 2004). He then flew to Brazil for this
tailor-made project by pop-fave Ivan Cardoso. This time Mr Naschy played
both the werewolf and Dr Moreau. It would be his final motion picture.
Paul Naschy died of pancreatic cancer at age 75 in 2009.
Loosely based on a '40s dime-novel by Gastao Cruis,
here is the story of Dr Moreau escaping his island and taking refuge
in the Amazon where - with the help of Mengele's secret Nazi documents
- he plans to create artificial life. The problem is Dr Moreau also
suffers from a werewolf bite and transforms into a monster by the light
of the full moon. Meanwhile, a group of youngsters have journeyed into
the jungle to find and enjoy a rare hallucinogenic drug. (They find
it. And somewhat more.) In addition, a tribe of Amazons [females] befriend
Moreau and get involved in his sex therapy. Trashy violence, naked bodies
and Paul Naschy. A true slice of heaven.
