Product Description
From Amazon.com
Italian exploitation legend Umberto Lenzi birthed the cannibal subgenre of Italian horror with Deep River Savages, but he turned out one of the so-called classics of the genre with this 1981 effort, a blunt, brutal story of five New Yorkers who face the wrath of angry Amazon cannibals. Three completely clueless would-be anthropologists set out to disprove the racist myth of tribal cannibalism perpetuated by colonial Europeans. Turning a blind eye to danger at every turn, they join up with a pair of drug-crazed psychos on the run from supposed cannibals (in truth, the reign of terror has been perpetrated solely by greedy Americans) and then wait patiently for the bloody vengeance of the tribal survivors. Lenzi is no stylist, and his attempts at irony are crude at best, but he delivers all he promises (or threatens): evisceration, emasculation, gouged eyeballs, and a sick twist on the initiation scene from A Man Called Horse. His generous budget allowed him to shoot on location in South America and New York (where a police detective searches for the homicidal drug dealer in a subplot) and lavish attention on his carnage, elevating it to near cult status. More than simply gory, this is a sadistic, cynical, mean-spirited film, for hardcore fans of the genre only.
Lenzi and star John Morghen (the only animated actor in the otherwise flat cast) offer commentary on an alternate track, but Lenzi is all but unintelligible through his thick accent at times. A supplemental interview with Lenzi is helpfully translated by his interviewer. --Sean Axmaker

What is all the fuss about?,
By Peter Leigh (Liverpool, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cannibal Ferox (Widescreen) [Deluxe Uncensored Letterboxed Edition] (DVD)
Cannibal Ferox is not as gory as it is made out to be.Eaten Alive(Umberto Lenzis other cannibal film) is worse.The film its self is quite good, although the music sounds like a 1970s porno.The reason i give this film three stars is because i expected a lot blood and guts, but ended up being very dissapointed, because if it was as gory as it was made out to be i would have given it five. So if anyone watches this film expecting to be shocked, you will be very dissapointed.

For what they have done... Make them die slowly,
By Mike Golen (Chicago) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cannibal Ferox (Widescreen) [Deluxe Uncensored Letterboxed Edition] (DVD)
Graphic and Disturbing it may be, but may still be praised only by hardcore fans of Italian gore cinema. No one really watches a cannibal movie to be touched, or moved (maybe a move to the bathroom or kitchen sink), but to see graphic violence. Cannibal Ferox... banned in 31 countires, sure does deliever the goods on the gore front. Plot: basically ripped from Lenzi's previous cannibal epics. Acting: since this is a low budget italian cannibal film, that term is used loosely. All in all, if you're a fan of extreme cinema and italian horror, you'll like Cannibal Ferox. If you are a fan of Scream or I know what you did last summer, you will hate Cannibal Ferox. Simple as that.

2.0 out of 5 stars
for people who hate animals and love castration.,
By Brandon (new york, ny, usa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cannibal Ferox (Widescreen) [Deluxe Uncensored Letterboxed Edition] (DVD)
well now, i rented this movie out of curiousity. The cover intrigued me. I love horror movies. This movie is not what I thought it was. The MUSIC IS ANNOYING. The dialogue is too dumb to be shocking. the way they dubbed it is very sub-par. and the animals look like they are really suffering. I am not in Peta, but, this movie overdoes it with the animals. it seems linda like they put it in there only as a filler, or t shock people. and them comes the castraion. ew. i really wanted to see that [person]bastard get his. but, all the torture in this movie makes me question my own integrity in renting a movie simply because of the cover. Torture in this movie is not acted well at all. Theres hardly any cannibalism. theres some, but not enough. the end result of the hot blonde chick is disgusting,(...). nice. i would not recommend this to anyone unless u hate aminals and love watching pretty people get hurt. no one has mentioned the over-used curse words. but holy hell, the TW word and the CU word are synonimous for BAD MOVIE!!!!
