For his final work, Godfather of Mondo Franco E. Prosperi – writer/director of MONDO CANE, AFRICA: BLOOD AND GUTS and GOODBYE UNCLE TOM – took on the ‘Nature Strikes Back’ genre and delivered perhaps the most shocking movie of his controversial career, now in UHD for the first time ever: When PCP gets into the water supply of a city zoo, the drug-crazed beasts – including tigers, lions, cheetahs, hyenas and elephants, as well as seeing eye dogs and sewer rats – go berserk and rampage through the streets of Frankfurt. What follows is a terrifying mix of actual animal attacks (supervised by professional circus trainers) and over-the-top ‘80s Italian gore that remains “the greatest eco-revenge shocker in EuroCult history” (DVD Beaver). Lorraine De Selle (CANNIBAL FEROX, HOUSE ON THE EDGE OF THE PARK) and Ugo Bologna (NIGHTMARE CITY) star in “the very definition of an exploitation movie” (Daily Grindhouse), newly scanned in 4K from the original camera negative.
