This Spain/Italy/France co-production results to be a scary movie about cruel indigenous cannibalistic tribes , it is filled with some genuine fright , horror and doom . A man (Al Cliver) who lost an arm and his family -his wife and daughter- , while cruising through the jungle when their boat was attacked by a tribe of mangler cannibals . Later on , he organizes an expedition with some unfortunate travelers (Lina Romay , Olivier Mathot , Pamela Stanford, Antonio Mayans) and he goes back ten years later to bring back his teenager daughter who was held captive by the heinous tribe , only to find that she grew up into a beautiful blonde woman (Sabrina Siani) who became the cannibals' queen . Where the natives are pleased to Meat you! Kidnapped by cannibals! Raised to eat human flesh! .She grew up to be her queen !. Now her father is looking for her !.
A ruthless , barbaric , authentically disgusting flick packing inexplicable disturbing occurrences , shocks , thrills , suspense , chills , hair-rising events with horrible mangling and being extremely gory . It follows in the wake of the cannibalist films from Umbert Lenzi , and, especially , the really a brutal fake documentary : ¨Ruggiero Deodato's Cannibal Holocaust¨ that resulted to be the mother of all cannibal films , the most savage , the most controversial movie ever made and the most horrific tale in modern history . Mondo cannibale (1980) is a below average yarn with too much chilling scenes , filled with sleaziness and non-sense of style . It is full of killings , nudism , sexual violence , disfigured people, grisly murders by means of slashing , ripping to death , killings in cold blood executed by ominous cannibals , loathsome and loads of blood and gore . A mysoginist movie with plenty of nudism , sadistic frames , graphic cannibalism , explicit scenes of violence and made in extremely scary style , no for squeamish . This Terror/Cannibal Movie displays lousy special effects with cutting , chopping , hacking , beheading , stomach ripped out and other cannibalistic frames .Stars a second-clas cass with B-Italian actor Al Cliver and the beautiful Sabrina Siani who wonderfully dresses in thong . And involving some familiar faces from Jesús Franco , such as : his real wife Lina Romay as Candy Coster , Shirley Knight , Olivier Mathot , Pamela Stanford Antonio Mayans and as usual , a cameo by Jess Frank himself as a swindler.
Mediocre cinematography by Juan Soler filmed on location in Serra de Sintra, Portugal ,where Franco shot several films ; however , being faded by the odd colouring of the old VHS, I would like to see this get remastered on blu-ray . It contains anticlimatic musical score composed by composer Roberto Pregadio . A disconcerting horror movie with no much interest and badly made by Jesús Franco. He often used a lot of pseudonyms , among the aliases he used, apart from the names Jess Franco or Franco Manera, were Jess Frank, Robert Zimmerman, Frank Hollman, Clifford Brown, David Khune , Toni Falt, James P. Johnson, Charlie Christian, David Tough , among others. In many of the more than 180 films he's directed he has also worked as composer, writer, cinematographer and editor. Jesús's influence has been notable all over Europe . Jess was a Stajanovist, restless writer, producer, director who played and realized over 200 pictures. His career spans over 50 years with a few successes and lots of flops, making all . From his huge body of work we can deduce that Jesús Franco is one of the most restless directors of Spanish cinema and often releasing several titles at the same time. Many of his films have had problems in getting released, and others have been made directly for video. More than once his staunchest supporters have found his "new" films to contain much footage from one or more of his older films. Jesús Franco is a survivor in a time when most of his colleagues tried to please the government administration. He broke up with all that and got the independence he was seeking and getting , at times great eye for composition. He was a hard-working filmmaker, directing a lot of ridiculous movies. However, making some acceptable films , such as : ¨We are 18 years old¨, ¨The awful Dr Orloff¨, ¨The Bloody Judge¨ , ¨Count Dracula¨, ¨99 women¨, ¨Parxismus, ¨The Blood of Fumanchu¨, ¨Faceless¨ and a few others. He always went upstream in an ephemeral industry that fed opportunists and curbed the activity of many professionals. But time doesn't pass in vain, and Jesus' production diminished since the 90s , but he went on working untin his death.
