Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

SoftInloveRox Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

Kodie Bird True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Woodyanders Rugged Vietnam veteran and soldier of fortune Peter Weston (an okay performance by Al Cliver) gets hired to venture into the jungle in order to retrieve top model Laura Crawford (yummy blonde honey and erstwhile Playboy Playmate Ursula Buchfellner) from a group of scuzzy kidnappers. Things go awry after Laura finds herself the captive of a savage tribe of primitive cannibals.This seedy affair delivers basically what one would expect from notorious Spanish sleazemeister Jess Franco: The abundant nudity, lousy dubbing, cruddy acting (Antonio Mayans in particular has an uproariously embarrassing crack-up scene as Weston's severely traumatized fellow Nam vet buddy Jack), tacky gore, and ineptly staged action set pieces all ensure that this shlockfest offers a reasonable amount of enjoyably low-grade thrills. This movie further benefits from several pleasingly no-count villains: Gisela Hahn as the wicked Jane, Antonio de Cabo as slimy rapist Thomas, Werner Pochath as the short-tempered Chris, and Melo Costa as sniveling wimp Pablito. Bertrand Altmann cuts a hilariously ridiculous figure as a decidedly less than convincing or frightening devil god with googly'n'goofy Ping-Pong ball eyes (and he also shows plenty of pickle for the ladies!). The throbbing score does the pounding trick. However, the sluggish pace and often meandering narrative make this one a bit of a chore to sit through. Decent grindhouse fare.

Bezenby Now, if you've bought this film, or are thinking about it, then you need to know about a sub-sub genre of films called the 'Extra cheap Cannibal flick'. These films include Cannibal Terror, Cannibals, Emmanuelle and the last Cannibals, and the Devil Hunter (and by looking at listings, that Papaya, Queen of the Cannibals flick).These films, thankfully, aren't full of cheap animal killings, probably because the filmmaker couldn't even afford a packet of bacon...what you do get though it tonnes of nudity...so lets see what the Devil hunter has to offer...I'll tell you what - Al Cliver! You know him, right? He was in Zombie Flesh Eaters! and The Black Cat! and The Beyond! and the House of Clocks, and Cannibals! Well, here you see the highlight of his career, as this Italian move icon, whom belovedly described the 'spanish conquistedories' in Zombie Flesh eaters, well that guy right, the only ginger Italian to ever exist, fights a seven foot tall naked circumcised black man on a cliff And you see that big guy's balls close up! SO - does that seem worth 13 pounds to you????????????????????????????It is kinda worth it, by the way

lazarillo Perhaps I'm more favorably disposed to this movie than to the similar Jess Franco effort "Cannibals" because I only rented this one instead of purchasing the DVD. Regardless though, while "Cannibals" is pure dreck, this movie is kind of entertaining, mostly in spite of itself. A group of kidnappers snatch a bimbo starlet (Ursula Fellehner) and hold her captive on an island. They are pursued by two hired mercenaries (Franco regulars Al Cliver and Anthony Mayans). While the two groups fight amongst themselves, the girl falls into the clutches of a local tribe of "cannibals" (half of which are African, and the other half obviously white Southern Europeans), who plan to sacrifice her to their "god", a tall black guy with ping-pong ball eyes. (Franco famously, if very unconvincingly, once accused the movie "Predator" of stealing his plot idea from this movie).The best part of this flick is the goofball dialogue and dubbing. Anthony Mayan's character, for instance, talks like Gabby Hayes for some reason and keeps having Vietnam flashbacks, even though he looks a little young to have been in 'Nam. One of the kidnappers shouts obscenities at everybody and seems genuinely disturbed by the "wild vegetation" (he makes Giovanni Lombardi Radici's character from "Cannnibal Ferox" seemed well-mannered and soft-spoken by comparison). When asked by reporters what she thinks of the men in their, country Fellehner's character responds in true bimbo fashion, "I have no opinion of men. I just love them." Later one of the mercenaries tells her stay put. Her response: "Huh?!" Naturally, the special effects are laughably un-special, and the public domain copy I saw was obviously ported from a Japanese source since it "optically fogs" Fellehner's pubic region (which is quite a job since the German Playboy Playmate barely spends a minute of her screen time with any clothes on). But despite the rampant (albeit partially "fogged")nudity from Fellehner and other assorted bimbos, this movie really fails to live up to its foreign title "Sexo Cannibal" (the cannibal doesn't get any sex, nor does anyone else really). Amazingly, this rather tame item was one of only two Franco films that were banned in Britain back in the "video nastie" days.Of course, I'm sure an overpriced "uncut" and subtitled version will someday appear for all the spendthrift masochists, i.e. Jess Franco fans, out there. But frankly I don't think they can improve on the unintentional hilarity of this public domain version (aside from "unfogging" Fellehner's pubes, of course).

dbborroughs An actress making a movie in Africa is kidnapped and taken into the jungle where she is held for ransom. The producer hires some one to go and bring her back. Complicating everything are the cannibals in the jungle who worship a really ugly looking "god" who likes to eat naked women.This is a gory sleazy movie. There is copious amounts of nudity and violence, not to mention violence against nude people. Its an exploitation film designed to appeal to the deepest darkest parts of our being, and if the movie wasn't so boring this film would be a classic. Lets face it, despite the gore, the nasty sex and abuse,and the ugly monster this movie is a snoozer. The pacing is all off kilter and it puts you out. There are multiple plot lines that all seem to be happening separately from each other, even though its ultimately all one story. Worst of all, almost no one says anything. Most of the minimal dialog concerns the cruelty or one characters protestations that "I'll do what I want". Its such a quiet and dull movie that if it weren't for the frequent screams of the victims I'd recommend this as a sleep aide.This is a movie to avoid unless you need sleep, or unless you need to see every Euro-cannibal movie.(An aside. VideoAsia just released this as part of their Terror Tales series. Their print is oddly letter-boxed which looks to be the result of taking their print from a Japanese source (there is fogging) that was cropped to remove the subtitles. Their print also has no opening titles)
