Warning: possible spoilers!!!
Cannibal Ferox (aka Make Them Die Slowly) is one of the most notorious entries in the cannibal sub-genre of horror cinema. When I first saw this film I was expecting it to be utterly disturbing and something that wouldn't leave my mind for several days afterwards. That, however, was not the case.
Nevertheless, this was a good movie full of sickness, horrific violence, and cheesy acting. To call this film "disturbing" is to call Scream a "good horror film." Granted, it certainly has its nauseating moments (and thank God, too; it IS Italian horror after all), but they're definitely not what you'd expect, unless you're a relative horror virgin. The gore is excellent, the locations are well-photographed, and the music is pretty decent (except for the stupid disco crap).
So what can you expect from this film: disembowelments, castration, eye gouging, authentic animal butchery, booby torture, severe cranial trauma, and various other forms of delightfully gruesome mayhem. This is definitely worth a look, though don't expect high-class cinema.
