The "M.D." stands for "Medical Deviate" in this ultragross 1979 Italian gore picture with effects by the team that did ZOMBIE. When it is discovered that an Asiatic tribe is robbing Manhattan of its dead, scientist Ian McCulloch ventures with female anthropologist Alexandra Cole to an
obscure island. There they meet mad scientist Donald O'Brian, who is conducting the kind of experiments that got Dr. Moreau ripped limb from limb in ISLAND OF LOST SOULS (1933). Extremely gory dismemberments, brain transplants, eye-gougings, and various cannibalistic acts made this splatter fave a
hit at the box office and a perennial video rental.
