Cannibal Ferox
Directed by Umberto Lenzi
A drug dealer's attempts to exploit a cannibal tribe go very wrong in this notorious cannibal classic. After Mike rips off mobsters, he flees to the jungle, where his cocaine binges cause him to kill members of a local tribe. When Mike meets three students researching cannibals, he leads them into the jungle, where the angry tribe is waiting for revenge. Sleazoid Express' Bill Landis called the "ultraviolent and unrelenting" shocker, "an epochal event in horror movies. Much like BLOOD FEAST... it challenged the audience's expectations and surpassed them."
A drug dealer's attempts to exploit a cannibal tribe go very, very wrong.

5 skulls for the piranha scene
This is my second time watching it. The first was about 25 years ago, around the same time I saw Cannibal Holocaust. Both were lent to me by a friend who had tracked down bootleg VHS copies. Some movies were hard to find back then. I remember Cannibal Holocaust being the better movie by far, and it still is. This one feels like a cheap exploitative imitation, although I'm aware that Umberto Lenzi invented the Italian Cannibal genre in the early 70's. The violence and animal cruelty scenes are as sick as anything in any other film of its type, but what the audience paid for back then. If you're not into this kind of movie, then this particular movie is not for you. If you think you might be, then see Cannibal Holocaust first.
I loved the movie
worth a watch ♡
Not wanting to be left out of the conversation, Umberto Lenzi returned with one of the most brutal horror film filled with amazing special effects by the legendary Gino De Rossi.
