Although it’s just slightly more shameful than anything you’re likely to see on the Food Network, Jess Franco’s CANNIBALS, a.k.a. MONDO CANNIBALE, a.k.a. WHITE CANNIBAL QUEEN, is still a rather weak sauce.

The first two acts of MOUNTAIN OF THE CANNIBAL GOD are occassionally violent, but more or less, benign. However it’s the grisly and often explicit third act that will leave you slack-jawed and wondering “What the hell am I watching.”

Blurring the lines between skin flick, true crime, exploitation, ethnographic film, romance, murder mystery, and courtroom drama, AMAZONIA is a suprisingly potent and well-made Italian jungle film.
