Doctor Krallman's (José Elías Moreno) son Julio (Agostín Martínez
Solares) is dieing unless he gets a fresh heart, and fast, too, so the
Doctor and his assistant Goyo (Carlos Lopez Moctezuma) go to the local
zoo, shoot a gorilla (who looks suspicously like an orangutan while still
alive), bring the animal home and transplant his heart into Julio's
brother ... a good idea with only one weakness: The gorilla heart proves
much too potent for the human body, and thus Julio turns into a monster
before long who likes to kill men and rape women, and the Doc and Goyo
have their hands full in trying to retrieve monster Julio - repeatedly ...
In an only loosely related story, wrestling babe Lucia (Norma
Lazareno), the girlfriend of Ltd Martinez (Armando Silvestre), the cop
investigating the whole monster case, gravely injures an opponent, Elena
(Noelia Noel), in a fight when she throws her out of the ring. After that
she simply is not herself anymore and always holds back in her fights, not
wanting to injure anyone else. Eventually she decides to quit as a
wrestler.
Meanwhile the good Doctor has decided that his monster son Julio needs
yet another heart, and he abducts Elena from the hospital to transplant
her heart into Julio's body ... and at first evrything goes fine, Julio
turns back into his normal self and seems to recover ... until he rather
suddenly turns into an even uglier monster, and an even fiercer killer, he
even kills the Doctor's assistant Goyo - but refrains from killing his
father too.
Eventually, the police have surrounded the monster in a park and
injured him ... when he spontaneously turns back into Julio, and since the
cops don't know Julio and the monster are one and the same person, julio
is transported into a hospital where his injuries are treated ... and
where he naturally turns into the monster again, kills a bunch of doctors,
takes a young child hostage and retreats to the hospital roof, with the
police waiting downstairs. Eventually, doc Krallman can persuade his son
to let the kid go before the police gun him down.
Upon hitting the ground, Julio turns into a human once more, just long
enough to say good-bye to his father and tell everyone how sorry he is ...
In case you haven't noticed, Night of the Bloody Apes is hardly
an artfilm, it's a piece of trash science fiction with a not very
convincing monster, plenty of (not very convincingly executed) gore scenes
and quite a bit of nudity and a real life heart surgery thrown in just for
good measure. If you like a film that fits this description, you will
probably be wildly entertained by Night of the Bloody Apes, a
straightforward film that goes straight to the jugular, if you don't like
trash science fiction though, don't even bother watching this, it's a film
that fits all the clichés of the genre ...
