Review of Anthropophagous (1980) by Dave B — 12 Jul 2009
The perfect slasher film. The Italians at the time of this release where mainly known for three things: Giallo, ultra gory Zombie flicks or shocking Cannibal features. While the slasher genre was taking off in the US thanks to the success of Halloween and Friday the 13th it was time for Joe D'Amato to step in and show the world the Italians can deliver slasher greatness too.
The amazing island location and gore scenes are what make this so special to me. Damn! The taking of a fetus from a pregnant womens womb and then the eating of it by the killer near the end was superb. It is definitely one of those WTF moments in film. Man, he doesn't cut her open to get to it he actually shoves his hand up her snatch and pulls it out! Every genre fan has got to see this early 80's classic.
