Norman Hopper ( John Saxton) is a former Vietnam vet living a normal life in Atlanta Georgia with a wife. He still sometimes has painful memories of his times in Vietnam involving slaughtering some enemies and seeing cannibalism there, his friend Charlie Bukowski ( John Morghen a.k.a. Giovanni Lombardo) has been to a mental hospital for long and has been released. Charlie does have some kind of curse or virus within him from Vietnam that makes him crave human flesh as he unexpectedly takes a bite out of a person, now he is running on the lam from the authorities but suddenly the cannibalistic curse or virus also hits Hopper and another Vietnam buddy named Tom are now on a campaign to spread the disease in the city and eat some people.
Interesting and disgusting mix of action and horror from the director of "Castle of Blood" Antonio Margherti. What makes it work is that there are some nasty gore scenes like the shotgun wound scene and the flesh eating, a cool if cheesy funky score with a war theme that sounds kind of like the theme to "G.I. Joe", a grisly twist in the end and the film is kind of a metaphor on how the horrors of Vietnam can affect a soldier, the film is one of Quentin Tarantino's personal favorite movies.
