Son of fucking bitches! We are 10 days away from Fantastic Fest 2015! And tonight, I concluded my Fantastic Fest 2010 marathon with a Filipino exploitation double feature. I started this marathon last month. I've decided to watch all the movies I hadn't seen yet from that year that are available to see somehow. Why that year? All years at Fantastic Fest have been awesome in their own way but if I have to say my favorite year, it would be 2010. The year I saw: I Saw the Devil, The Man from Nowhere, Sound of Noise, Bedevilled, and etc. Anyways, the first half of my Filipino exploitation double feature is this very silly Planet of the Apes like movie. That year at the festival, they showed the doc: Machete Maidens Unleashed. A doc on Filipino exploitation. Well, it was only right for them to bring along a few of these films. This was enjoyable for the cheesy campy factor but that's it. Not a movie I would see again. Simple interesting set up: a diver gets captured and taken to this island where they experiment on people turning them into half beasts. Mad scientists. Escape from the island plot. Pam Grier as a half beast. Holy shit. Other than that, nothing special.
Next post, the second half of the Filipino exploitation double feature: For Your Height Only.
