Cannibal Terror
1981, 89 min A.K.A.: Terreur Cannibale Studio: Severin Cast: Silvia Solar, Olivier Mathot, Pamela Stanford, Antoine Fontaine, Antonio Mayans Director: Alain Deruelle Rating: Not Rated Our Rating:
FROM THE LINER NOTESEven by the sleaziest standards of 80s EuroTrash, it remains a film that must be seen to be believed: When a pair of criminal knuckleheads and their busty moll kidnap the young daughter of a wealthy tycoon, they foolishly choose to hide in a local jungle infested with ferocious cannibals. What follows is a mind-roasting exercise in atrocious acting, gratuitous nudity and gut-munching mayhem by a ravenous tribe of flesh eaters who inexplicably sport comb-overs and Elvis sideburns. Robert Foster (Inconfessable Orgies of Emmanuelle), Pamela Stanford (White Cannibal Queen) and Burt Altman (The Devil Hunters) star in this infamous Spanish/French co-production that was banned in Britain as one of the original Video Nasties and is now presented uncut and uncensored for the first time ever in America!3 REASONS TO BUY THIS FILM
REVIEW
There's an important lesson to be learned in Cannibal Terror: if you're hiding out from the law in the middle of the jungle enjoying the hospitality of some friends, it is extremely impolite to rape your hostess for no reason. Somebody should have dropped this wisdom on our idiotic kidnappers before they took off for the jungle with a hot girl and a young hostage in tow. Don't they read Miss Manners in criminal school? Anyway, it is when these bumbling idiots decides to break the cardinal rule of house-guestery that they get cast out of the sanctuary and tied to a tree by their rape victim. There, they fall victim to some hungry people eaters in this shameless slice of exploitation that features obviously European "cannibals" in a jungle that resembles a suburban backyard, female nudity from a couple of gorgeous European chicks, ridiculous gore effects and the above-mentioned rape. Sure, it's tacky and unconvincing, but it sure as shit delivers the sleaze. -- Rick Stanko
