Slave Of The Cannibal God Review

If you have already watched Sahasanari... last week in the theaters, then watching this would inflict unspeakable trauma on your already battered psyche. This one is the original of the above-mentioned movie. An episode of National Geographic would have been more informative and entertaining than this movie. The gore just makes one squeamish.

The story is one of the countless adventure movies, shot in the jungles of the dreaded Amazon. An extremely attractive looking wife (a must in these movies) is in search of her husband who is lost in the deep jungles of the Amazon - now where'd we hear that before? Yes, yes, it has an Indiana Jones lookalike guide, a hidden treasure, greedy gold diggers, crocs and snakes and, to top it all, a tribe of cannibals! But what it doesn't have is talented actors, directors and a decent script.

After a lot of trekking, skinny-dipping in rapids and fatal encounters with the wildlife (a little too graphic for comfort), the now depleted group finally arrives at the treasure. The cannibals capture them, and we have some very graphic scenes of ritualistic cannibalism. The guide and the attractive wife are the only ones who escape. It had to happen.

A word of advice - avoid this movie like the plague!
