Antropophagus(1980) packs inexplicable disturbing occurrences , shocks, thrills , suspense , chills , hair-rising events and extremely gory final . Stars Tisa Farrow , Mia Farrow's sister , she's one of a group of American students (Tisa Farrow , Saverio Vallone , Serena Grandi , Zora Kerova , among others) vacationing on a Greek island . Farrow learns of the twisted cannibalistic murderer who methodically kills tourists and locals at the creepy island . ...He's coming for you . They rip out your fear and feed on it ! (The Zombies' Rage) . Death awaits those who trespass in the realm of the living dead . It's not fear that tears you apart...it's him!
This scary movie is filled with some genuine fright , horror and doom. A sinister and unsettling flick that goes on growing more and more and developing little by little until the unexpected finale . A familiar -but dull at times- script full of shocks, screams and surprises by writer/producer/actor Luigi Montefiori or George Eastman , giving a remarkable presence as the giant ghastly-looking dead man who rises from the tomb, as he enhanced everything he was in and especially this role as a disfigured cannibalistic serial killer . Passable special effects , with special mention for the known and really disturbing scenes of the pregnant woman comes up and as she's being strangled by the killer and her fetus is ripped out of her . Regularly made by Aristide Massaccesi who does a cameo as a bearded man exiting the cable car , now referring to himself as Joe D'Amato, he entered the "gore" genere films with Buio Omega (1979), which remains his most successful horror film, shot in four weeks on a low budget entirely at a villa near Bressanone and which had an excellent music soundtrack by the rock group Goblin. This Antropophagus (1980) was his next horror film, musicalized by Marcello Giombini , but less successful than the previous one, was Gomia, terror en el Mar Egeo (1980), directed as "Peter Newton". The film starred Tisa Farrow, sister of Mia Farrow and the star of Island of the living dead or Zombi 2 (1979), another gore genre flick . Being last onscreen appearance for Tisa Farrow, as she retired from acting after this , previously she played some decent movies such as : Search and destroy , Winter kills, The last hunter , Manhattan , Fingers , Imitation of Sarah , Strange shadows in a empty room, Some call it loving and Hope to die .
The motion picture was middilngly directed by hack director Joe D'Amato or Aristide Massaccessi . This artisan was a prolific cameraman/writer/producer/director who made all kinds of genres . His first directing work was in 1972's low-budget Scansati... a Trinità arriva Eldorado (1972), co-directed by Diego Spataro, under the pseudonym Dick Spitfire, but it was a commercial failure. As he directed hardcore , soft-core, erotic films starring Laura Gemser, such as Emmanuel and francois (1975), Emanuelle and the Last Cannibals (1977), Emanuelle in América (1977), Emanuelle and the White Slave Trade (1978), Erotic Nights of the Living dead , L'alcova (1985) . Gialli and Terror movies : Gomia , Hitcher in the dark , Death Smiles on a Murderer , Buio Omega . Scifi and Sword-witchery : Ator , Ator l'invincibile, Ator 3 , 2020 Texas Rangers , Bronx Endgame, and many others. Rating : 4/10 . Below average terror movie , it isn't apt for squeamish.
