GURU, THE MAD MONK (1970)

 
 Typical of crap-movie master Andy Milligan everyone here overacts terribly like they're in some kinda horrible stage presentation.  Filmed mostly in a church in Manhattan that's supposed to be on an island in Europe and filled with New York accents nothing is very believable but the movie does have Milligan's insane touch to it that, to me at least, makes it a watchable mess of a movie.  You get a hodge-podge of wacky characters including a humpback assistant named Igor, a fat annoying vampire/wizard-lady and of course our title character who's a repugnant representation of all that's wrong with psycho religious types that are placed in positions of power.  Eyes are poked out with sticks, hands and heads get chopped off, our humpback gets crucified and somehow manages to escape from that and also I think he gets his tongue cut out but the version I saw of this was under an hour long so maybe some spicy gore footage was missing.  Take a chance on this only if you think you can make it through all the seemingly endless stupid dialogue scenes.

  1. I would really like to see the full uncut verion of this thing. I just don't want to pay for it.

  2. Who has an uncut version? Every DVD I've seen of this is the same 56 minute version. IMDB lists the full length at 62 minutes which isn't a whole lot but I'm sure the tongue chopping bit is in there.
