This movie is slow, mollases slow, old man at the ATM slow, line at disneyworld slow....just about everything in this movie is either boring or shlocky. This includes the script (shlocky) and the gore (boring) and even the "real" animal deaths (both boring and shlocky) most of which is either very fake looking or lame stock footage. According to the introduction the director was Umberto Lenzi...I use the term director loosley because i cant possibly imagine anyone could have actually directed this garbage and considered it good. Everyone in the movie was either underacting or overacting (john morghan managed to do both) and it was chocked full of useless scenes and subplots that seemed to serve no purpose than to take up time. Any atmosphere the movie built up during the jungle scenes was killed when it would cut to new york. Theres another thing, why the heck did they need so many establishing shots when they switched locations to new york, the movie only took place there or in the jungle, the viewer obviously knows which is which! The only decent thing in the movie was the score during the jungle scenes, something i thought was much more appropriate for the subject matter than the over dramatic love ballad in cannibal holocaust. Also the death and torture of Morghan provided a decent bit of irony but it was overshadowed by the cheesiness of the rest of the film.
Overall this movie bites and should be avoided at all costs... but you'll probably go see it anyways.
