Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
Italian exploitation legend Umberto Lenzi birthed the cannibal subgenre of Italian horror with Deep River Savages, but he turned out one of the so-called classics of the genre with this 1981 effort, a blunt, brutal story of five New Yorkers who face the wrath of angry Amazon cannibals. Three completely clueless would-be anthropologists set out to disprove the racist myth of tribal cannibalism perpetuated by colonial Europeans. Turning a blind eye to danger at every turn, they join up with a pair of drug-crazed psychos on the run from supposed cannibals (in truth, the reign of terror has been perpetrated solely by greedy Americans) and then wait patiently for the bloody vengeance of the tribal survivors. Lenzi is no stylist, and his attempts at irony are crude at best, but he delivers all he promises (or threatens): evisceration, emasculation, gouged eyeballs, and a sick twist on the initiation scene from A Man Called Horse. His generous budget allowed him to shoot on location in South America and New York (where a police detective searches for the homicidal drug dealer in a subplot) and lavish attention on his carnage, elevating it to near cult status. More than simply gory, this is a sadistic, cynical, mean-spirited film, for hardcore fans of the genre only.

Lenzi and star John Morghen (the only animated actor in the otherwise flat cast) offer commentary on an alternate track, but Lenzi is all but unintelligible through his thick accent at times. A supplemental interview with Lenzi is helpfully translated by his interviewer. --Sean Axmaker

Rent It First.......2007-06-02
The hype that surrounds this movie is way too high. The acting sucks and the FX are terrible. The popcorn I ate while watching this were really good though.
Classic!.......2007-05-12
Cannibal flicks always go a little further than your average Italian gore-fest and are definitely my favorites,because when I watch a horror movie I want to be rupulsed and disgusted(see definition of horror)I don't want to see little creepy kids that they put in every pop-horror movie now,that [...] doesn't scare me,this scares me.Not on the same level as cannibal holocaust but pretty close.THIS IS REAL HORROR!
Beware: Animal Cruelty.......2007-05-12
I love gory movies (Zombie, Re-Animator) and this one was kind of cool until some characters started chopping off the parts of a real turtle. It was upsetting. There should be a warning for this kind of material. Just a heads up in case you're gonna buy it. (I've read that Cannibal Holocaust also has animal cruelty, but I haven't seen it.)
Not for DVD aficionados.......2006-12-15
I'm rather upset with the technical quality of this DVD. Grindhouse rereleased this disc exactly as it was in 2000, without so much as a 16x9 animorphic upgrade. This is certainly not worth the $20+ dollar price tag Amazon.com has right now.
The 2nd best cannibal film........2006-11-27
This is the second best/most disturbing film next to Cannibal Holocaust which will always be the champion. But thats not taking anything away from Cannibal Ferox which was banned in 31 countires and contains some of the most brutal scenes ever filmed. See this film it wont dissapoint!

Product Description
A small group of anthropologists take to the jungles of Colombia to study the culture of a small indigenous Columbian tribe - a tribe of primitive peoples with a controversial, cannibalistic history. When they arrive however, they find that a local band of drug dealers have moved into the area, and have taken to using the naive natives to harvest the cocoa leaf for them as slave labor. After a while, the natives are tired of being tortured and worked, and turn on their masters - as well as the hapless anthropologists - filling the screen with gruesome splatter in the process!

something smells.......2006-02-05
This movie is TERRIBLE!!!!!!!!!IT SUCKED .....bad acting ,lame gore ....just a real piece of $#@!.Don't believe the hype It's got nothing on Romero or Fulci
Nasty Cannibal movie.....But what else do you want!?.......2005-08-30
Well it's another grissly cannibal movie staring Giovanni Lombardo Radice(John Morghen) "Cannibal Apocolypse, City of the Living Dead" With lots of jungle adventure and gory munchings.
An anthropologist from new york "Gloria - Lorraine De Selle" Who seems to look off her face for most of the movie (The dubbing does nothing to make her seem anymore awake) is trying to disprove the existance of cannibal tribal culture, So she heads of to south america to study further. The band of intrepid explorers and the trusted 4x4 that is in all Italian films of this nature head of into the jungle and meet with Radice who is a cocaine fueled outlaw intent on explioting the local tribe, he proceeds to abuse the natives and get himself and his new rather naive friends into a world of trouble.
What this movie really has to offer is a great friday night voyage into Italian cannibal nonsense it has all the elements you would expect lots of random gore, breasts and violence against the lush green backdrop of generic jungle all shot with glorious scratchy low quality film stock. You will probably be a bit uncomfortable with the animal violence which is par for the course with this genre of films and the castration and meat hooks through the breast sequences will make the whole family wince. This movie in it's uncut form is one of the classics of the genre and a must see for all fans, it is brutal in it's violence and reasonably entertaining in the story side of things(like you watch 'em for the story!) If you like this i would recommend "Ultimo mondo cannibale-Last cannibal world-Jungle Holocaust" Which is a much more indepth study of the human condition and the film that was made by Ruggero Deodato before his famous "Cannibal Holocaust".
Get a take out, sit down with your other half and snuggle with the cannibals. I have not seen this print but refer to an uncut VHS.
