Review of Cannibal Ferox

7/10
A guilty surprise for depressing moments.
27 October 1998
Umberto Lenzi should be regarded as king of Italian trash cinema. Many of his horror and crime movies are quite fun aplenty, and CANNIBAL FEROX stands out as an instant classic of graphic proportions. Scenes of cannibalism and human torture are depressingly offending to those with weak cardiovascular systems, but as a guilty impression, the photography in them is amazingly fantastic! The story involving a college girl on a suddenly turned dangerous trip assignment to the Amazonian world is the film's main idea. What we have here is a guilty pleasure: a movie being so upsetting to gulp into our throats, but marks a special triumph in alternative moviemaking. You may have heard of the mass controversy of CANNIBAL FEROX that led to its banning in 31 worldwide nations, so if you want to suffer from heart failure, do so now before the feds decide to kill one of the finest works of classic cinematic crap into oblivion, only to establish a New World Order, by god!
