just watch it!

it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Mentored by a disembodied brain suspended in a jar of bubbling liquid, mad scientist Dr. Humpp (Aldo Barbero) instructs his monstrous automatons to kidnap highly sexual men and women for use in his diabolical experiments. With the help of sexy blonde assistant Enfermera (Susana Beltrán), Humpp doses his helpless victims with aphrodisiacs, using the strength of their passion to create a serum to nourish his body and increase his lifespan.Reporter George (Ricardo Bauleo) investigates the case, but is captured and finds himself the subject of one of Humpp's experiments, forced to experience heightened sexual pleasure with beautiful brunette Rachel (Gloria Prat). Is there no end to Humpp's cruelty?A sex movie with horror overtones, The Curious Dr. Humpp is packed with nudity and nookie from the get-go, the mad scientist shenanigans merely the catalyst for numerous scenes of softcore rumpy-pumpy. All of the romping and humpping soon becomes rather tedious, but the plot is just about daft enough to still make this late '60s trashfest fairly entertaining for those who enjoy offbeat cinema.This particular viewer found the kidnapped hippies hilarious, couldn't help but be amused at the idea of a monster paying a visit to his local drugstore, and perked up every time the lovely Ms. Prat was on screen and unclothed.

One of the weirdest movies ever made focuses on a mad scientist kidnapping people and making them have sex, which he believes to be humanity's life blood, in the hope of finding a way to help people live forever. And he does all this under orders from a brain that he keeps alive.It's easy to think that the person who came up with the plot of "La venganza del sexo" ("The Curious Dr. Humpp" in English) had too much time on his hands, but it's actually a pretty interesting movie as exploitation flicks go. I've only seen the US release, which I understand added a bunch of footage of people having sex. Indeed, there are whole sequences that show nothing except people undressing and copulating.I could see that all the writing in the movie was in Spanish, but I had no idea which country made it. It turns out that "The Curious Dr. Humpp" is from Argentina. That means that one third of all the Argentinian movies that I've seen is an exploitation flick. I'll have to see if I can find any more work from the people who made this. Presumably I can only find it from Something Weird Video.

Maybe I was in the wrong frame of mind when I watched THE CURIOUS DR. HUMPP. I really expected to like it more, cuz I can usually get into most anything that has a weird premise, a decent amount of nudity, some retarded looking "monsters", and a talking brain in a jar - but I found myself barely staying awake through most of this one...So there's a mad "Doctor" who's trying to capture the sexual "essence", a horde of his weird "monsters", and a talking brain that wants to rule the world. Yup, that sums it up...Seems that there's two camps when it comes to this film - those that love it for it's relatively racy and goofy themes from a film made in '67, and those that just don't get it. I'm with the latter camp. It's not a total waste of time and definitely worth a view to hardcore cult-film fans, and the women are quite luscious to look upon - but I just found most of it dull despite decent acting and a bugged-out storyline. Even such novel dialogue as - "I'm doing it to her - I can't stop screwing her" - didn't save this one from being barely more than watchable to me...6/10

If you're not into bizarre cinema, you're best off staying away from this cult film; but if you are into cult cinema...you might find something here. The adjective in the title is extremely apt for this film, as it features a plethora of odd and mostly illogical ideas; all of which are at least somewhat 'curious'. This helps the film in a way as there's always enough going on to keep it ticking over; but on the other hand, sometimes there's just too many things going on at the same time, and since not a great deal of it makes sense; the film can be somewhat annoying. That being said, the plot focuses on sex, deformity and very mad science and so it's entertaining throughout, at least. The plot centres on a scientist researching sex. He kidnaps people and feeds them aphrodisiacs so that they'll have sex. He needs them to do so that he can drain some fluid from them, as Dr Humpp is actually a monster and he needs this fluid to stop himself being transformed. You might wonder how all this stuff ended up coming together, but there's a simple explanation for all of it; the doctor is being directed by a talking disembodied brain in a jar! Despite being silly and not making a lot of sense, the film is very technically competent and the cinematography looks great. The film was obviously shot on a low budget, but the crystal clear black and white picture helps to mask this; which is a very good thing. The set design is good, if a little bare in places; but that's not all that important. There is a lot of sex in the film, which is sure to please anyone with a mind to see a film like this; and the script is fantastic at providing a lot of memorable quotes such as "Sex dominates the world!". The 'monster' that the doctor becomes looks rather silly, but the film ensures that you can just about buy into it as everything is so completely mesmerising. The atmosphere is surreal throughout, and director Emilio Vieyra ensures that it always benefits the tone of the movie. The film doesn't flow too well, as once the basic plot is laid out; we don't get much elaboration on it, but you can't expect too much from a film like this, and for what it is; The Curious Dr Humpp is sure to delight fans of cult cinema that don't mind too many inconsistencies in their films.
