Informed that his sick son, Julio, will soon die of heart disease, crazy Dr. Krellman does what any good mad doctor would do and gives Julio the heart of a gorilla. Oops. The transplanted ape heart somehow or other turns the frail young man into a "horrible half beast, half man" with the body of a muscleman and the face of a (sort-of) monkey. In a hilarious frenzy of over-the-top gore and gratuitous nudity, Julio-the-Half-Ape immediately runs through the streets attacking women and mutilating men. Why? 'Cause it's what monsters DO. Quickly deducing that "the heart of a gorilla is much too potent for any human," Dr. Daddy surgically swaps Julio's simian heart with one taken from -are you ready?- a female wrestler. Double oops. Yes, Julio once again turns into a big-boned gorilla man, only this time in pajamas... (jakelijan virallinen teksti)

Night of the Bloody Apes plays a lot on the fact that its main domain is gore, which is present here to quite a harsh degree, and thus the viewer gets to see really nasty scenes that almost surprise. Throw in some nudity, a wacky story, Mexican wrestling and a mad scientist. This is such a beautifully stupid combination that you either condemn it or you have fun with it. And I had fun.

This is a remake of the director's older movie Las Luchadoras contra el médico asesino. It's about a doctor who would do anything to save his seriously ill son, and thus in desperation transplanted the heart from a gorilla heart into him. The ape-man then goes on a rampage, runs away, and kills several random people - in particular, naked women. Naturally, professional Mexican wrestlers get mixed up in it, as usual. This was a relatively violent gory movie in 1969, and includes ripping off people’s heads, gouging eyes out, and a realistic organ transplant, which, after all, put the movie on the "video nasties" list. However, in all other respects, it is a purely below-average crap version of Frankenstein, which is often inadvertently comical (the ape-man makes really weird grunting noises, and other strange sounds during his attacks, including snorting noises). The sound-design (especially the musical score) that accompanies the most crucial scenes is a downright tragedy - perhaps due to the editing out of violent gory scenes due to censorship issues, and then being put back into the movie, but the poorly edited music is really intrusive. The acting performances were also dreadful, but it was all more or less as I expected.
