Cannibal Ferox coming to UK BD from Shameless...

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. 

Sink your teeth into one of Italian cinema’s most shocking and controversial films, making its UK Blu-ray debut with this tantalising new edition from Shameless.
