CANNIBALS

Kidnapped by Cannibals! Raised to Eat Human Flesh!

Revenge is a dish best served raw for Dr. Taylor, whose young daughter is dragged deep into the jungle after his family is viciously attacked by a tribe of cannibals while on an ill-fated adventure in the Amazon Basin. Years later he returns to this jungle hell to retrieve his little girl, only to find that she's grown into the golden-haired goddess of the malevolent man-eaters who murdered her mother! Can Taylor dethrone his feral daughter before she makes him the main course in her royal banquet?

CANNIBALS is a gut-munching gorefest from infamous director Jess Franco (VENUS IN FURS, SUCCUBUS), featuring Al Cliver (ZOMBIE), Robert Foster (SADOMANIA), Lina Romay (WOMEN BEHIND BARS), and savage blonde bombshell Sabrina Siani (CONQUEST). Also know as MONDO CANNIBALE and WHITE CANNIBAL QUEEN, this grisly gastronomic delight is served up completely uncut and uncensored for refined palates and strong stomachs only!

Yes! I love it when groups of upper crust socialites attend missions to the cannibal infested jungle to rescue a (now grown up) kidnapped daughter of a scientist and treat it as a sort of yacht party entertainment, complete with on board drinks and hi-fi stereo sounds. Of course, the scientis/father is well aware of the gravity of the situation, having only narowly escaped with his life years before. In fact, he left his left arm behind as well. AND his wife (munched upon, yet whose remains are still worshipped to this day as "White Goddess number one")as well as his toddler daughter. Now the daughter has been raised by the scary face painted cannibals (who through some miracle of genetics appear to be very mutli cultural in ethnicity) to be their living goddess. Not a bad gig for her. She marries into the tribe pretty well, and does goddess stuff for them, with only vague memories of life before. However, when confronted with her newly recaptured pops, she begins to flash back to days of pink dresses and ponies, and decides to allow him to escape. Daddy and the surviving socialite dash through the jungle and circle back to re-kidnap the girl. Of course she isnt in the frame of mind to give up goddesshood, husband etc, and Daddy has to knock her out and carry her out of the jungles. One armed mind you. Until the chilling conclusion when the enraged cannibals catch up to them at the banks of a river and the climactic mano a mano fight for the ownership of the girl ensues. It's lavish.

Take your left arm and bend it at the elbow reaching for your own armpit, now tie it that way with string or something, put on a white t shirt and go frolic in a river for a while and you will get an idea of the level of brilliant cinematography required to not sow the "amputated and eaten" arm in a river fight scene.

Jess Franco is a master. This movie makes me feel like I can go rush right out and make a film too. Just get 30 friends, a botanical garden (as the jungle) plenty of raw steak and add a g-string wearing cannibal white girl (who had a bikini tan line framing her ass, I might ad) and you will be right there with me screaming "Achtung!" (yes I know its German, dont ask me why the cannibals screamed it) and together we, too, shall walk the red carpets and bask in the glory of a bigtime premier. WHOSE WITH ME?!?!??!?!?!
