Cannibal Ferox
Directed by Umberto Lenzi
A drug dealer's attempts to exploit a cannibal tribe go very wrong in this notorious cannibal classic. After Mike rips off mobsters, he flees to the jungle, where his cocaine binges cause him to kill members of a local tribe. When Mike meets three students researching cannibals, he leads them into the jungle, where the angry tribe is waiting for revenge. Sleazoid Express' Bill Landis called the "ultraviolent and unrelenting" shocker, "an epochal event in horror movies. Much like BLOOD FEAST... it challenged the audience's expectations and surpassed them."
A drug dealer's attempts to exploit a cannibal tribe go very, very wrong.

Not wanting to be left out of the conversation, Umberto Lenzi returned with one of the most brutal horror film filled with amazing special effects by the legendary Gino De Rossi.
Cannibal movies are the cinematic illustration of FAFO. The world would be a better place if more people heeded their garish, but nonetheless meaningful, warnings.
There is really nothing here unless you like animal cruelty. Plenty there. The human on human violence is not particularly extreme from a gore perspective, Art the Clown would call it baby mode. The B plot is entirely pointless and could be cut from the film entirely. It does show the horrors of colonialism and exploitation of native cultures, if only in the most surface level and moderately racist way so it's got that going for it I guess.
starts out promising then went all over the place but it had ok moments
Not bad but not as good as cannibal Holocaust! Has a different vibe for sure but not as much action, this film feels a bit more subtle than the original but definitely worth the watch!
