FROM THE LINER NOTESHer name was Sirpa Lane, the succulent Finnish beauty who became an international sex symbol in Roger Vadim's Charlotte then shocked the world with her inhuman degradation in Walerian Borowczyk's The Beast. But perhaps her ultimate cinematic destiny was to star in this tropical sleaze-fest from the notorious Joe D Amato director of Emanuelle and the White Slave Trade and Anthropophagus as a woman who hungrily surrenders to perverse trysts, native vengeance, graphic carnal carnage and much more.3 REASONS TO BUY THIS FILM
REVIEW
Master of sleaze Joe D'Amato delivered this cannibalsploitation flick that's relatively light on gore, but very heavy on sex (especially lesbian sex) and nudity. Sexy Sirpa Lane (The Beast, The Beast in Space) and her idiot manfriend encounter a voodoo cannibal tribe whose leader (the stunning Melissa Chimenti) has sworn to kill all white men who cross her path. Instead of killing the man right away, she takes a shine to Sirpa (who wouldn't?) and begins tutoring her in the ways of voodoo-obsessed cannibals. We have no idea why they spend so much time in hotel rooms, or really why Papaya is so angry, but it really doesn't matter, does it? There's a very long scene of hot lesbian sex between Lane and Chimenti (who are both supremely sexy specimens), flesh-eating, animal cruelty and much more sleazetastic goodness. -- Rick Stanko
