A few mates, on a Friday night, a few cans, snacks and a copy of this - you can't go wrong!
You can't take it seriously. It's really silly, poorly acted and really cheesey in parts. But it does have a hefty bucket load of blood to keep gorehounds like my good self happy. Make sure to see it uncut, because to be honest, there isn't much else going for it(!) I just wish they left the animals alone in these films. But keep your eyes out for the highlights; the unfortunate John Morghen, who has his manhood sliced clean off and eaten by one of the Cannibals. This film is not as bad as it is supposed to be, though.

Otherwise a good Cannibal flick, better than the rest of them, but naturally nowhere near as good as Deodato's masterpiece - Cannibal Holocaust, which sits safely on it's throne.

Trivia

Years after the filming, Umberto Lenzi said that if he had known that Robert Kerman (Lt. Rizzo) was a porn actor, he wouldn't have hired him (neither in this nor in Eaten Alive! (1980)). Ironically, Jake Teague (University Professor) was also a porn actor, and like Kerman, also appears in both movies.

Quotes

Rudy: What a wasted vacation.
Gloria Davis: And maybe our lives too.
Rudy: Yeah...

Goofs

(at around 28 mins) When the group arrives at the village, the corpse of the Portuguese is decomposed far more than it would normally be after one day, even in the rain forest. Also, other people who died before him weren't decomposed at all.

Alternate Versions

Various restored and uncut German versions were released in Austria by different firms (the first on was JPV video) and distributed in videostores all over Austria to rent or buy.
