Rating: - Best Cannibal Movie
If you are curious about the infamous Spaghetti Cannibal genre then this is the movie to start with. It's a real jungle adventure from beginning to end with beautifully weird music. I would give it five stars if it was possible to watch the movie without the scenes of animal killings. The interview with the lead actor is painful to watch but worth it for the line "That sheep's liver was my destiny" (or something like that). Many people skip this one and go right to Deodato's other movie in the genre, Cannibal Holocaust. I don't really consider that a representative cannibal movie as it is ... Read More
Rating: - Satisfies Lover's Of The Red Stuff
This film is a great cannibal film, Almost as good as Cannibal Holocaust. This movie is the prequel to Cannibal Holocaust, By the time Cannibal Holocaust came out Ruggero Deodato had already made a reputation for being a good trash director by the time this movie came out in 1977. Supposedly based on a true case, an explorer in the Philippine jungles gets lost after his plane with friends left and is captured by hungry cannibal tribes. He escapes by capturing a lovely tribal girl to find food and shelter if they can avoid the rest of her tribe from having them for dinner.
Rating: - I Iove this movie!
This was the first cannibal movie I ever saw and I was completely blown away by it. I found it used at a local cd store and it really got me into Italian movies. Now that I watch it again after seeing a lot of these movies it still remains one of my favorites. Ruggero Deodato has a style like no other directer, his use of music, editing and camera work are amazing and his movies always seem to have that documentary feel to them, its like a mixture of "Jacopetti"&"Prosperi"and "Lucio Fulci" movies. As for the animal violence, I am against cruelty to animals but feel it was needed to make this movie ... Read More
Rating: - oddly impressive
chances are, if you're looking at getting jungle holocaust you've probably already been introduced to cannibal holocaust, or make them die slowly, etc etc. jungle holocaust is actually a rather well-paced enjoyable entry in the cannibal sub-genre. imagine parts of indiana jones with cannibals. of course there is the requisite italian exploitation animal cruelty, women getting slapped left and right, and lots of gloppy blood and guts. also, for the easily offended, seeing a woman get raped and then turn around to basically become a jungle gatherer/housewife may not be your cup of tea. all in all, if ...

Rating: - = A Man Called Horse + The Naked Prey * Mondo Cane
Cheesy late-70s horror/action Italian import about a plane crash, two white men lost in the jungle, separation, capture, and escape. Despite the hoopla, the grand packaging (interviews, director commentary, stills gallery, etc.) and premium pricing this gory little exploitation film isn't going to win a lot of new fans to the genre. After the plane crashes and the civilized men are separated, the tall one is captured by a tribe of... cannibals! He escapes and they chase him (Why do those chase scenes remind me so much of the Tasmanian Devil chasing Bugs Bunny?) Will our hero escape and get back ... Read More
