Captain Herbier (Mark Shannon) is hired to take a quintet of scientists
to an island that's supposed to be radioactively contaminated after bomb
tests some 20 years earlier ... but not before he has sex and falls in
love with one of the scientists, Annie (Lucia Ramirez). By the way, the
other female scientists of the mission are also shown having sex, there's
a lesbian encounter between Simone (Dirce Funari) and the Contessa while
later, the Contessa has a threeway with two black men. Nothing of this
has anything to do with the film's narrative though ...
On the island, our scientists find that it is no longer contaminated
and soon they indulge into more sex scenes ... until Herbier finds a
mutated lobster, which sort of alarms the others.
And then, enter the zombie, the impressively hung sole survivor of the
atom blast, who soon starts killing the scientists off one by one,
including choking Simone using his dick and raping the dead Contessa -
only minutes after she pleaded Herbier to do it to her one last
time before her possible death, to which Herbier happily agrees. In
comparison, the male scientists (including George Eastman, the only one of
the gang who doesn't have any sex at all) die comparatively merciful and quick
deaths.
However, for some reason the zombie doesn't kill Annie but takes her to
his cave, presumably because she reminds him of his wife who died in the
blast. (In one very ridiculous scene, the zombie actually brings Annie
flowers.)
Herbier meanwhile has to realize he's pretty much the only survivor of
the expedition, when he stumbles upon the dying body of a shady reporter
(Joe D'Amato himself) who has been following them around for quite some
time, and who now tells him where to find Annie. Herbier finds Annie,
unties her and the two leave the cave together - to run right into the
arms of the returning zombie. Herbier tries to harpoon the zombie, but as
you might know, zombies don't die that easy, and the zombie already
prepares to kill Herbier ... when Annie shouts a simple "No, don't
!" The zombie immediately stops in motion and falls to the floor dead
...
Herbier and Annie take the small boat of the reporter to leave the
island (their own boat has gone missing, no exact explanation given), and
the first thing they do is they have sex ... Then they are saved by some
Ocean liner.
I'm not quite sure why Joe D'Amato thought that a combination of
hardcore sex and gore scenes would be such a good idea, I mean one watches
hardcore porn to be sexually aroused, while if you are sexually aroused by
gore scenes, possibly you should go see a shrink, somehting's not quite
right with you ...
As a consequence, Porno Holocaust fails as both a porn film and
a gore flick, with the scene where dead Annj Goren is shown being fucked
by the zombie in full hardcore detail being particularly disturbing,
especially since Ms Goren is not showing one single motion during the
scene, dispite the quite impressive member of her partner ... On top of
that, the film's narrative structure is way off, it's incredibly
slow-paced for a shocker and it's devoid of either atmosphere or properly
creepy atmosphere ...
As you might have guessed by now, Porno Holocaust is not
a good film, but what saves it from total desaster is its incredibly silly
script that isn't good in even properly setting up the sex-scenes (I just
love these do it to me one more time before I die-style dialogues)
and features at times the most incredibly banal dialogue I have heard in a
long time, dialogue that often borders the ridiculous. So with a couple of
beers and a few friends, you might just as well find this film hilarious -
even if you'll like it for all the wrong reasons.
