Review by Bobby Nashville

Okay, let me see if I have this straight... A doctor is kidnapping lesbian sex freaks, hippie love junkies and orgy fanatics and doping them up with aphrodisiacs. He hides them in his mansion where his Frankenstein like monster and love starved wife help him make love drugs. Um.... Okay.

Apparently, the good Doctor Hummp has some weird kind of disease where he needs to watch people have sex in order to stay alive. They don't really explain all of that, but who are we to question him, after all he IS a doctor. The Curious Dr. Hummp is one of the most bizarre films I have ever scene and believe me folks, I've seen some strange ones. The first ten minutes of this film are so weird that I had to watch it twice just to make sure I wasn't crazy.

Shot in black and white (why?) and dubbed poorly (from Spanish?) into English, The Curious Dr. Hummp is soft core porn done very badly. So badly in fact, that I think the best way to describe it is by asking "What if Ed Wood directed a porno on drugs?" Sound good? It is! Sound bad? It is! The Curious Dr. Hummp is a solid "so bad it's good" film that is a new favorite of mine. They just don't make movies like this any more. Sigh.
