The Bloody Ape (DVD Review)

15 September 2009 10:57 PM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »

As the horror and film communities fell head over heels for 2007’s Grindhouse double-feature, Planet Terror and Death Proof, fans have been reveling in the amount of exploitation material that has been released on disc since then.  With cheapie box sets and several lines of DVDs pushing the grindhouse aura and rare uncovered films, this Fangorian was lucky enough to get a chance to view another lost classic, the 1997 eccentric trash-fest The Bloody Ape a.k.a. Son Of Sweetback Vs. Kong.

Not to be confused with the 1969 grindhouse film, Night Of The Bloody Apes, WildEye DVD has now brought this lost super-8 exploitation classic to DVD on a “super simian” special edition disc.  A film that seems to throw in everything but the kitchen sink; this movie is an adventure into the obscure mind of a filmmaker that was influenced by the underground ridicule of yester-year and horror films in general. »
