With this film Paul Naschy added H. G. Wells' classic
character Dr. Moreau to his list of onscreen portrayals and he does a fine job.
The movie is from 2005 and was made in Brazil so both Spanish and
Portuguese languages are spoken which only adds confusion for someone just
trying to read the subtitles! I'm not going to lie- A WEREWOLF IN THE AMAZON is
an odd one folks- even for us. Among other strange things this film sports a pretty
good werewolf; multiple gory corpses; naked lesbians; naked Amazons; age
inappropriate sexual encounters; broad humor; confusing back stories;
contradictory character motivations; a bizarre musical number; death by sex;
ridiculous sets and a mercifully short running time. Sadly, only those with
access to the 'Special Antenna' will be
able to check out this late career entry in Naschy's resume but the curious
will always seek these things out.
Your humble hosts prattle on about comic books, music and a
host of other topics as well as the film we're supposed to be discussing. You
have been warned! We get off topic early and often. Please drop us a line at
naschycast@gmail.com or come see us over on the NaschyCast Facebook page. And
if you get the show through iTunes (and I know you do) please consider leaving
us a written review over there. That would help us out a lot.

Another great podcast... And I love the "splash" artwork for it!
That image really is wonderful, isn't it. As for the film- it really was a disappointment. Even with low expectations it was terrible in almost every way.
