Anthropologists take a trip to the jungles of Colombia to study native cannibals. Instead, they find a band of drug dealers, using the natives to harvest the cocoa leaf. After awhile, the natives are tired of being tortured slaves, and turn on their masters, as well as the anthropologists, thus filling the screen with gruesome splatter!
Umberto Lenzi’s second stab at cannibal horror (after Eaten Alive) is a gleefully violent grab bag of gory delights. Penis whacking, hand chopping, head lopping, gut munching, breast piercing, eye gouging, brain slurping: its all there.
Cannibal Ferox is a must see for fans of the genre, but casual viewers should take heed—this wasn’t banned in 31 countries for nothing.
Unfortunately, this isn’t the uncut version as stated, but the Shameless Films UK censored release
93 min. is uncut though. Or you’re saying this rip is less than 93 minutes?
Oops, Anonymous is right, the violence towards humans is there but everything concerning animals has been edited (“The footage of animal cruelty has been very carefully edited, Using slow motion effects and reframing to obscure the cruelty but maintain the audio. “).
I don’t endorse animal cruelty but I’ll try to find a true uncut version.
Apropos animal cruelty: G. Radice hated Lenzi after this film. He recounted how during the production Lenzi approached him and told him “listen tomorrow I want to shoot this scene and I want you to massacre this animal (forgot what it was, I think a pig) and Radice refused. Lenzi insisted and finally he said “well Robert De Niro would have done it!”. Radice exploded and told him “De Niro would have kicked your fat pompous ass down the street”. He despises Lenzi to this day, haha.
If you could confirm when the uncut version is up, I would be very grateful. The 93 minute status was maintained by slowing the reaction shots and cutting in duplicate shots, therefore preserving the original run time. Mountain of the Cannibal God on here is also the Shameless UK cut version.
I’m trying to get another rip of Cannibal Ferox, with a bit of luck it will be an uncut version. Then I’ll deal with Mountain of the Cannibal God.
