Peary (who labels this film &#8220;horrible&#8221;, and says even the preview turned his stomach) doesn&#8217;t bother to explain much of the plot in his review; instead, he simply talks about living in New York City while this film was marketed, and nearly being run over by a &#8220;Butchermobile&#8221;. Clearly, he chose to include this movie in his book simply because of the notoriety surrounding its release. Note that <em> Zombie Holocaust <\/em>was the original title of this film; American distributors added extra footage at the beginning and renamed it <em>Dr. Butcher, M.D.<\/em> &#8212; hence the double title.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A creative marriage of two horror genre favorites<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/Zombie-Holocaust-Still.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/Zombie-Holocaust-Still-1024x569.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"356\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-62263\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/Zombie-Holocaust-Still-1024x569.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/Zombie-Holocaust-Still-300x167.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/Zombie-Holocaust-Still-128x71.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/Zombie-Holocaust-Still-768x427.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/Zombie-Holocaust-Still-1536x854.png 1536w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/Zombie-Holocaust-Still-486x270.png 486w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/Zombie-Holocaust-Still-1038x576.png 1038w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/Zombie-Holocaust-Still.png 1725w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nNo, unless you&#8217;re a &#8220;sex and gore&#8221; fan, as Peary puts it &#8212; or a fan of bad movies. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Links:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/imdb.com\/title\/tt0079788\/\">IMDb entry<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvguide.com\/movies\/dr-butcher-md\/review\/113110\/\">TV Guide Review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.badmovies.org\/othermovies\/drbutcher\/\">BadMovies.org Review<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;I could easily kill you now &#8212; but I&#8217;m determined to have your brain!&#8221; Synopsis: An expedition team on Keto Island tries to escape from the clutches of a mad scientist (Donald O&#8217;Brien) who is turning corpses into zombies; meanwhile, they must outrun the island&#8217;s resident cannibals.
