Good concept, poorly executed.

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

A couple of dumb hoodlums and their busty prostitute moll abduct the irritatingly cutesy young daughter of a wealthy tycoon. Their plan goes awry when the trio make the fatal mistake of hiding out in a jungle that's the stalking grounds of a savage cannibal tribe.Sound good? Well, it just ain't. Man, does this painfully awful bilge strike out something rotten in every possible way: The slack (non)direction by Alain Deruelle, the meandering narrative, the pitifully unconvincing cannibal tribe played by mostly white guys sporting beer guts, comb overs, and/or sideburns (!), a lame'n'tame rape scene, the dull and uneventful wafer-thin script by H.L. Rostaine, tacky gore, flat acting, alarming paucity of nudity, insipid villains, annoying little girl hostage, terrible acting, and laughably lousy dubbing all make this steaming pile of celluloid excrement a positively agonizing chore to sit through. Absolute dreck.

For years, Cannibal Terror was believed by many to be the work of horror/sleaze director Jess Franco, a reasonable assumption since the film bears what seem to be most of the prolific Spaniard's hallmarks, most notably a dreadful script, unconvincing locales, inept direction, terrible acting, and endless meandering shots of nothing much in particular (and I guess, for some, it was also hard to believe that there might be another person out there who could make films quite as bad as Franco).The real culprit, however, was French director Alain Deruelle, who proves that he can be just as inept as Jess when it comes to delivering jungle horror.Deruelle's dreadful film follows a trio bumbling kidnappers-two men and one woman-who escape across the border (to where, I have no idea!) with their hostage, the young daughter of a rich businessman. Arriving at a safe house that borders 'cannibal country', the threesome are able to relax for a while, until one of the gang, Mario, decides to rape the wife of their host (after spying on her having a wash in a giant wooden bucket). This kick starts a chain of events that results in the criminals and their hostage being pursued by bloodthirsty natives, with the father of the little girl in hot pursuit.Taking a leaf out of Franco's Big Book of Cannibal Movie-Making, Deruelle opts to set his adventure in what appears to be a large botanical garden, hires himself some of the least convincing cannibals ever to grace an exploitation film (some have sideburns, many have coiffured hair, a few have beer-bellies, nearly all of them are Caucasion, but none of them look like savages), and throws in some cheapo blood and guts (using what looks like pig carcasses to stand in for human remains) in order to satisfy the gore-hounds.The result is a mind-numbingly dull piece of Euro-sleaze that now shares top spot with Mondo Cannibale on my Crap Cannibal Movie list.

Now this film is by far not a masterpiece out of the Italian cannibal sub-genre, but it definitely is not the worst either. The film follows two crooks as they kidnap a young girl and take refuge in the jungle. They stay at a friends house, but one of the crooks cant control his urges and rapes the house owners wife. As a result the two crooks are thrown out into the jungles to be eaten by the local cannibals living in the area.Now if you are not a fan of the cannibal genre you will have no interest in watching this film, because in all honesty it is not that good. But for you cannibal enthusiasts out there I suggest giving this flick a watch. It is the last film to have come out of the "Cannibal Boom" and though it has been stated to be the worst film to come out of the genre I ensure you that this is not the case. White Cannibal Queen, or Primitif deserve such a title, this film on the other hand can be categorized as one of those "its so bad its good" types. The natives look European, the cannibalism scenes go on for too long and is obviously just a pig torso, and the dialog is humorous.I would say the greatest element in the film is the dubbing of little girl who is kid napped voice. It is clear that it is just a grown women trying to sound like a child and failing miserably, definitely something that keeps you chuckling through out the film.

Well, what else can you say about this movie other than it sucked royally. I don't normally use such mediocre words to describe a movie but nothing else could come to mind. The acting was bad, the script was bad, the story was bad, the gore was disgusting (but still bad), and the cannibals take the cake as being the worst looking I have ever seen. It looks like a bunch of French guys got together and decided to put on make up and pretend to be cannibals... wait a second!Anyway, the story is about 3 crooks who kidnap a little girl and demand a ransom. When the heist fall apart they escape out to the jungle (which looks like a forest) and take refuge with a Spanish couple. When one of the crooks rapes the Spanish wife, the husband leads the crooks to the cannibals and now there is Hell to pay... yeah, right.I can't help my sarcasm with this movie. It was just dreadful. I read other reviews that say something about Jess Franco having something to do with this movie. Man, if that's true he must have come to a real low point in his career.This movie is strictly for people that have to see all of the cannibal films. If you aren't into that sort of thing, stay far FAR away from this train wreck. Even I who love the genre struggled to sit through this. 2/10
