Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Monkeywess This is an astonishing documentary that will wring your heart while it bends your mind

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

bensonmum2 Curious? Yes. And weird, odd, bizarre, and maybe even a little eclectic. It certainly is one strange movie. The Curious Dr. Humpp has one of the craziest plots I've seen. Dr. Humpp is working on an experiment to increase the libido of women to basically turn them into braindead nymphomaniacs. With the assistance of his lumbering army of monsters, he kidnaps men and women and forces them to have sex. He extracts some sort of fluid from the bodies of his test subjects at the moment of climax that he uses to keep from turning into a monster himself. Other than the fact that Dr. Humpp has a brain in a jar in his laboratory that talks to him and directs his actions, that's about it.The Curious Dr. Humpp isn't what I would call a "good" movie on any level. Much of the movie is so inept that it fits nicely beside the better known works of a director like Ed Wood. Director Emilio Vieyra seems to have gone to the Jess Franco school of movie-making with the out of focus shots, unnecessary camera zooms, and filming random objects that have no bearing on the plot. The biggest flaw in The Curious Dr. Humpp are the numerous and incredibly dull sex scenes. I've read that these scenes were inserted after the initial production – and it shows. These scenes destroy whatever flow or pacing the movie might have had.Even with its numerous weaknesses, The Curious Dr. Humpp is a movie that will appeal to those looking for something a little different and off the beaten path. It may not be "good" in the traditional sense, but there's no arguing that it is fascinating. You don't often run across a movie like this everyday.

MARIO GAUCI This is the kind of film which is more entertaining to read about than to actually experience: while reviews I've read mention several irresistibly bad moments, the actual feature is a bit of a chore to sit through! Its endless scenes of experiments (of a sexual nature) performed on a variety of young people (of all persuasions - given that here we find junkies, lesbians, strippers and nymphomaniacs) reminded me of Jose' Mojica-Marins' (that's Coffin Joe to you!) equally delirious if slightly more earnest AWAKENING OF THE BEAST (1969). The film was originally much shorter, as the U.S. version was spiced up with 17 more minutes of nudity - though this only served to render the whole even more boring! The reviews had actually described it as being a well-made film, but I didn't see anything special about its look or the techniques used. As a matter of fact, it practically quashed what interest I had in Vieyra's (apparently equally goofy) vampire flick, BLOOD OF THE VIRGINS (1967), released on DVD by Mondo Macabro! That said, some of the film's more bizarre images - the perpetually irritated talking brain(!) of the titular doctor's mentor (which he keeps in a jar in his lab), his rubber-faced monster assistant turning up at a nightclub (with the intention of procuring yet another girl for his master's experiments) and at a pharmacy (carrying a prescription by the doctor) as if it were the most natural thing in the world and is later even seen strumming on an unusually-shaped guitar(!!) - not to mention the howlers found in the script (Dr. Humpp spouting his crackpot credo or the orgasmic moans of the drugged but impatient maidens) yield some undeniable pleasures...even if only of the guilty kind!

John Mclaren I was disappointed by this film. The idea of an Argentinian horror flick was an engaging one- bound to be something different I thought. The main plotline is suitably absurd (mad brain in a jar etc), but the whole exercise is ruined by the softcore inserts which periodically appear.As such it is neither fish nor foul. The original film contains little nudity and is a standard B&W mad scientist effort. The softcore inserts have their attractions- but jar and should be in a different film altogether. As such I was just left baffled and confused.Basically the film doesnt work, but is an admirable novelity piece. At least "Something Weird" video do things differently...

margu One of the most wonderfully peculiar films I've ever seen. Black and white, semi-porn, cheesy Argentinean horror. Dr. Hump, for reasons never explained, must kidnap people and turn them into nymphomaniacs in order to obtain their "secretions" during orgasm in order to, what, stay alive? They never really say. Except that he is being ordered to do all this by one really p****d-off brain. He also has a "monster" to do his dirty work, a paper-mache' headed guy with a blinking light in his forehead, who's duties include, besides kidnapping and murder, serenading the sex-crazed hippies and lesbos during their orgies with a strange, guitar-like instrument. This one's going straight to "The Brainiac" hall of fame in my book!
