A group of castaways wash ashore on a deserted island in this Italian sex/gore movie. They are unaware that a sex-crazed radioactive monster is also on the island. He attacks and rapes several of the women, who die horrible deaths because his sperm is radioactive. The survivors must find a way to either escape the island or kill the monster.

Reviews
WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Melanie Bouvet The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.
ericdetrick2002 Wow. I felt like I needed to shower off after watching this one, but maybe there were other reasons that I will leave to your imagination. I felt used and abused after wacking, I mean watching this film. Hairy chests, thick mustaches, and well, hairy everything describes this porn/horror movie, but hey, it was 1981, you can't call it "porn" in the 70s and 80s without the hair.As a horror flick, this bites. But as a piece of exploitation/porn from Italy's rich cinematic history- it definitely has a place in my library. The copy I have is in Italian with English subtitles. I wish it had the really poorly dubbed English, I think it would have added to the sleaziness factor that already existed. The only white guy who gets laid in the movie is "Mark Shannon"- he is the moustache wearing, hairy chested piece of machismo who really does try and give a performance every time he "steps up to bat". This was at the end of an era where porn producers were actually trying to make something artistic. Nothing like panning the camera from a tropical backdrop to a hairy man having "doggie-style" sex with a woman. I can't help but laugh.This is one of those movies that I pray my future wife and kids never find.
Ky-D It's strange, while the film features full X-rated sex scenes and violent murders, it never feels as shocking as it ought to.A group of scientists go to an island in the Caribbean to investigate a radioactive incident. Upon their arrival, a mutated islander goes about the happy business of murdering the men and having his way with the women. Doesn't it always seem to work out that way.Among the sored acts we find a some lesbian encounters, a three-way with male prostitutes, assorted heterosexual couplings and the rape of an already dead body. Even though it's all fully explicit, it fails to ever shock or stir as it is meant to. As soon as the sex goes fully pornographic it just loses it's edge; the suspension of disbelief is broken and we realize we are just watching people having sex.There is some blood and gore with the murders, but given that this is a D'amato flick it's really tame. For a much more rounded experience watch the similar 'Erotic Nights of the Living Dead'.2/10
DJ Inferno "Porno Holocaust" is the sister movie to "Erotic Nights of the Living Dead", what means in other words that both films were casted with the same actors (The inimitable George Eastman is not missing!) and shot a the same locations in the Dominican Republic. Typical for a porn the plot is minor matter: A group of male and female scientists travel on a lonely island to investigate a mysterious phenomenon of radioactivity and soon they´ve got a horny, killing and raping sex monster on their back... If you are looking for something great or even shocking, forget it: this is nothing else but a normal hardcore porn with some scanty horror elements! Compared to D´Amato´s usual standard it´s a really tame flick: the great gore of a splatterfest like "Buio Omega" is almost not existing. The sickest scene is when the monster rapes the dead body of a woman, but beware: this shot is not as sick executed as it maybe sounds..! However, a great laugh riot is the sequence when one of the girls has sex with two natives and one of the guys obviously has serious problems with the erection! Cheesy fun! I have this film in my collection and I really must say that I like it, but after all I only would recommend it to the inveterated fans of director D´Amato! All others should check out "Erotic Nights of the Living Dead" what is still the better film in my opinion!!
sculptured117 I've heard a lot about Porno Holocaust and its twin film Erotic Nights Of The Living Dead. Both films are interchangeable and were filmed at the same time on the same location with the same actors changing clothes for each film (and taking them off). If you are expecting the D'Amato genius displayed in films like Buio Omega or Death Smiles on Murder, you won't find it here. Nonetheless this film has a charm that exploitation fans will not be able to resist. Where else will you see hardcore sex mixed with a zombie/monster and his enormous penis that strangles and chokes women to death? Only from D'Amato. There is some amount of gore in which many of the men are bludgeoned to death. The film is set on a beautiful tropical island. As far as I know there is no subtitled version, so if you don't speak Italian you wont know what is going on...but who cares right? In all honesty, Gore fans will probably fast forward through the hardcore sex. And if anyone is actually watching this for the sex only, will for sure be offended instantly. I can just imagine modern day porn fans tracing back through D'Amato's output and coming across this atrocity! Out of the two I find Erotic Nights Of The Living Dead far superior. But, don't bother watching either if they are cut. Porno Holocaust is extremely low budget as expected. Even the monster looks no where as good as George Eastman's character in Anthropophagus. The film is worth watching for laughs and to complete your D'Amato film quest.
