Ignasi P. Ferre directed this sleazy as hell Spanish zombie horror in 1983."Morbus" tells the story of the chemist,who created bizarre formula which has something to do with raising the dead.Two prostitutes,who take their customers into the woods are attacked by flesh-eating ghouls.One hooker and her client are killed.The other flees and finds shelter at the home of a reclusive novelist,who is writing a book about zombies.The girl is forced to stay at the writer's house when his assistant sabotages the writer's car and he can't give her a ride back to town.In a meantime a group of bicicle-riding Devil-worshippers having an orgy is eaten by zombies."Morbus" is a delirious and disjointed fun with laughably bad acting and loads of full-frontal nudity.If you are a fan of Spanish exploitation give this sleazy oddity a look.6 out of 10.

Movie About A Guy Who Smokes A Pipe
Steve_Nyland27 April 2024
He has a thick beard, and several scenes in the film are dedicated to him filling, lighting and thoughtfully smoking the pipe as the young lady sits there, stark naked, observing him enjoying his pipe. They nod to each other in appreciation of what a fine pipe it is, and how much he enjoys his pipe.
Her name is Carmen Serret and she delightfully wanders through a significant portion of the movie absolutely naked. No imagination required, though I wonder what the pipe scenes are really about.
Then there's Victor Israel, playing himself. During the movie's most blasphemous scene he evokes a likewise completely naked female to sneeze. How that came to the mind of anyone is likely best left up to commentary tracks on Blu Ray DVDs by horror movie historians as an audio option. But it was a first for horror cinema to befall mine eyes: That was new.
There are also zombies who devour several supporting cast members and a troupe of satanists on bicycles, who likewise spend a significant portion of their allotted screen time completely naked. If one is concerned about a sexist agenda fret not as both genders are equally objectified, paraded around from all angles, and then devoured by the zombies.
The formula works even when stuck without a language translation, mostly because the film's objectives are limited to the above and the dialog minimal to begin with. There is nothing to be learned except what the leading actress looks like with absolutely nothing on, for which we commend her greatly. Thank You!
The film also boast a uniquely odd electronic music score, including use of a Vocoder type voice synthesizer producing passages of other worldly sounds which transcend the gutter in which the film's ideas are content to wallow. As far as garbage grind house latter-era Euro Horror exploitation cinema goes, it's a quiet sleeper masterpiece that has patiently awaited re-discovery. Though for most people it's just a low budget foreign made zombie movie with lots of naked girls. You can do worse by either measure.
