Review of Anthropophagous (1980) by Andrzej B — 28 Mar 2009

Why do I keep attending these midnight shows? I saw this one expecting cheesy gore fest. But Anthropophagous makes little sense at times, my version had the oh so sought after gore scenes of the slasher/monster character pulling a fetus out of a women to eat it and him attempting to save himself by eating his own guts at the end. So yeah, those clips are probably on youtube so you can go watch them there. Otherwise, it's typical slasher fair, there's totally no flair at all in characters. The scares are typical cats on pianos, long shots of skeletons covered by rats, people being bitten and our killer looking like a hobo version of John Carpenter. Sorry atmosphere-fans, these films are just a lump of sugar. Having all dull as dishwater gore and no scares or characters is as bad as musical without good songs.

I doubt I'll have to see another Joe D'Amato film again.
