Ruggero Deodato's "other" cannibal flick
15 September 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Not nearly as well-known as the infamous "Cannibal Holocaust", this is actually a bog-standard story (hero is captured by cannibalistic natives, for some reason he is not killed but imprisoned, he escapes, is hunted down, and becomes a savage himself in the process), with limited artistic value. The dense jungle atmosphere is convincing, but the shock tactics and effects are mostly too hokey to have the desired impact (save for the all-too-real slicing open of a still living alligator), and the cannibals with all their grunting and shouting are really more annoying than scary. ** out of 4.
