Cannibal Ferox | 1981 | Italy | Umberto Lenzi
Straight on the tails of the more brutal Cannibal Holocaust, Umberto Lenzi also returned to cannibal territory in Cannibal Ferox, which follows student Gloria as she explores the Amazon for a thesis she is writing. Thanks to the efforts and foul behaviour of the psychotic Mike, she and her group of friends are captured and subject to a myriad of gruesome fates. Released by Replay Video in the UK, the film was actually one of the first to be re-submitted for legitimate certification but due to the uncut version still hanging around, both versions were ultimately prosecuted to keep a lid on the bloody affair.
