For those not in the know, I had planned to. CANNIBAL FEROX back in June of 2. Midnight Confessions.

I co- host with Reverend Phantom and Moronic Mark. It had. been planned months in advance for a Italian Horror Month that June. I was really excited for.

Because any trip to see a Soviet shuttle is worth it as long as no one’s wearing handcuffs at the end.

It is. What CANNIBAL FEROX isn’t is a film that’s catered to everyone, as it. It also isn’t a film that is. CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST. But CANNIBAL FEROX still. Gloria Davis (Lorraine De Selle) is a student writing a college thesis. Amazon in order to receive.

Ph. D. To get prove for her piece, she takes her brother Rudy. Danilo Mattei) and friend Pat (Zora Kerova) along as witnesses to her. Brazil. Once they arrive to the Amazon, bad things happen. Their transportation gets stuck in a big mud puddle. The. coati given to them as a distraction to the local tribes in the area. And trying to find a way out, they run. Mike Logan (Giovanni Lombardo Radice) and his injured friend Joe.

Walter Lucchini) - diamond smugglers who claim to have been attacked. As the group witnesses Mike’s psychotic behavior due to.

Mike’s story isn’t all that it’s cracked. Learning the truth, Gloria and company realize that they’re. Mike - unfortunate victims of their revenge.

Gloria. finds out the truth about cannibalism, making sacrifices along the. While many see CANNIBAL FEROX as a poor copy of Ruggero Deodato’s. CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST, the two films couldn’t be more. While certain elements do remain similar in both films. Deodato’s film had more of an artful element to it - with the director. It made you. question who the real monsters using disturbing imagery that has.

CANNIBAL FEROX has repulsive imagery as. Umberto Lenzi seems to care more about shocking his audience. That’s not to say.

FEROX doesn’t work quite as powerfully as. HOLOCAUST does for that very reason. However, both films have their. CANNIBAL FEROX is a film that wants to be many things, but falls short. What it does succeed on are the scenes in the Amazon.

Gloria, Mike and company. Unlike HOLOCAUST, the group of. Amazon to hurt or look down. Only Mike Logan. the film’s clear antagonist, shows any sort of vile behavior towards. While he claims to have been attacked by cannibals, we. Mike was the one attacking these so- called.

Mike is also a. pretty disgusting drug dealer who calls women a “twat” and molests. Because of Mike, Gloria’s plan to just. Amazonian tribe to study them and take notes for her thesis.

Mike’s actions. Mike’s actions also disproves. Gloria’s idea of this cannibal myth, as his cruel behavior unleashes. In a way, Mike acts as a imperialist. He went to an island to steal. The locals revolt. Like. CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST, FEROX seems to be taking a stance that the real.

It’s clear who the real monster in this film is. Mike isn’t the only misguided character in the film. Gloria, who’d you. Amazon to. disprove this idea of cannibalism. There are stories about this kind. Yet, Gloria is so.

While she’s not as evil as Mike, her ignorance. And. judging by the ending of the film, she doesn’t really learn her. The others are just victims of their own stupidity.

Rudy joined his. sister Gloria to take photographic proof for her thesis, but should. After all. how does one go to the Amazon and not know that piranha inhabit the. Joe just follows Mike’s lead.

And Pat? Well she would rather get high or have sex. CANNIBAL FEROX. She even almost helps Mike rape and kill locals at one. She’s no better than Mike really. At least the characters have. While the Amazon scenes work for the most part, the scenes in New York.

City should have never been in the film to begin with. I get that Mike. needed some sort of backstory to explain why he went to the Amazon. I. understand that learning about Mike through people who knew him - his. But these scenes just ruin the flow of the film. In fact. they don’t really lead to anything important.

The cops are looking for. Mike. The mob is looking for Mike. Mike’s girlfriend is looking for. Mike. But Mike is caught up in his own crap during this film, making. None of these people accomplish their goal.

I’m also not a fan of these animal cruelty scenes in these cannibal. Both CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST and CANNIBAL FEROX are infamously known.

I’m not a vegan or anything like that, but who finds pleasure. Deodato tried to make these scenes a bit more artful and meaningful in. HOLOCAUST at least, even if I look away whenever these scenes pop up. Lenzi doesn’t even try in FEROX, mainly using these scenes to shock. Do I really need to see. Do I really need to hear this.

Do I find pleasure in this? No, I was disgusted that I had to. It’s not fun. It really. It’s made worse when the camera just lingers on this. I’m all for the “survival of the fittest” in. There are also other scenes.

But that coati and snake scene really upset me, to. I almost regretted taking on this film for a review. I. know things like this happen. It doesn’t mean I need to see it on film.

The direction by Umberto Lenzi isn’t stylish or anything memorable. The editing is off at times and the flow of the film is. But Lenzi does manage to get a. Lingering on. animals getting killed will either make you regret continuing to. The gore effects are. Or maybe it’ll. make you giddy. Whatever floats your boat.

Lenzi also seems to follow. Deodato’s book by telling the viewer that we’re all savages on some. Deodato had a more artistic vibe in his direction. Lenzi would rather shock and disgust us with his work. If that’s what Lenzi was going for, he succeeded big time.

The score by Roberto Donati and Fiamma Maglione is more subtle than. CANNIBAL FEROX. We get funky. I believe some. music was taken from Lenzi’s previous cannibal film, EATEN ALIVE! The. score is probably not as memorable as the score from CANNIBAL. HOLOCAUST, but it works nonetheless and adds to the overall mood of.

The acting in CANNIBAL FEROX isn’t the main focus of the film, but. Probably the. highlight in terms of star performances is, without a doubt, Giovanni. Lombardo Radice - known as John Morghen here - who plays one of the. Mike Logan. Radice.

Italian horror world, probably provides one. He’s smooth while still being a. Radice’s vile and maniacal performance stems.

CANNIBAL. FEROX, displeased with the story and the treatment of certain. Using that frustration and anger, he channels. David Hess’ Krug from THE LAST. HOUSE ON THE LEFT as one of the more despicable characters ever. If there is any reason to watch CANNIBAL.

FEROX, it’s for Radice’s performance. The other actors fare well in their own right. French actress Lorraine. De Selle is spot on as the misguided and naive Gloria. She’s. responsible for the best body language and facial expressions during. I bought her transition from.

Danilo Mattei is the. Rudy. He carries a masculine and strong. The only other. notable actor is Robert Kerman as a NYC police detective looking for. Mike Logan. It’s funny that he also starred in.

CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST, where he actually has a better performance in. It’s unfortunate that he doesn’t get the chance to do much in FEROX.

THINGS I’VE LEARNED WHILE CANCELING MY TRIP TO THE AMAZON. A drug pusher was murdered over something stupid Mike Logan did to a. I had no idea CANNIBAL FEROX was the influence for.
