Nearly a decade after initiating the genre with Man From Deep River,
director Umberto Lenzi gives the final word on the Italian gut-muncher
with his ferocious flesh-feasting masterpiece Cannibal Ferox.
To lay to rest the ‘myth’ of tribal cannibalism, PhD student Gloria
(Lorraine De Selle - House by the Edge of the Park) journeys to the Amazon jungle but things soon go
awry when her party encounters sadistic cocaine cowboy Mike (Giovanni
Lombardo Radice - City of the Living Dead, Cannibal Apocalypse). Mike is on the run from the hungry locals but all is
not what it seems - as the travellers venture into the heart of
darkness, they soon discover what it means to be hunted.
Also starring Zora Kerova (New York Ripper, Anthropophagus the Beast) and Robert Kerman (Eaten Alive, Cannibal Holocaust) Cannibal Ferox
questions the nature of human atrocity, pulling no punches with its
visceral depictions of murder, cannibalism and torture.
