Anthropophagous
Directed by Joe D'Amato
It was seized by UK authorities as a ‘Video Nasty’ and accused of being an actual snuff film. Yet even by ‘80s Italian gore-spewing standards, this grueling shocker from sex & sleaze maestro Joe D’Amato still stands as perhaps the most controversial – and extreme – spaghetti splatter epic of them all. Tisa Farrow, Zora Kerova and co-writer/producer George Eastman star in this depraved daddy of cannibal carnage from “Italy’s King of Trash Sinema.”
Stranded tourists are stalked by an island's gruesome killer in Joe D'Amato's notorious shocker.
Cast: Tisa Farrow, Saverio Vallone, Serena Grandi

I thought it was ok the movies story and energy carry throughout the movie but the first hour is quite slow however it's building up suspense to a fun last 20 minutes. The description really was an exaggeration of what the movie ended up being wasn't that hardcore maybe then it was though, entertaining but just alright.
I thought it was ok , the synopsis made it seem like it was going to be more hardcore than it ended up being perhaps it was considered more crazy then. The first hour really put me off kind of slow but the movie carries itself well I think the last 20 minutes were fun , decent if not amazing.
Spoilers, do not watch this early in the morning when you are tired because it'll put you to sleep fast , first hour really dragged on and on. To give this movie some credit it's a film that has a story and an energy that carries throughout the entire movie. I didn't love it but definitely can't hate it , it gets good in last 20 minutes, that being sad the synopsis is a total exaggeration of what the movie ended up being. Gets a little gorey and creepy but whoever mistakes this for a snuff film hasn't seen those gross hostel flicks. Definitely worth the watch overall.
I have been afraid of that VHS cover so much as a child. It was not as hardcore as I thought.
exploitation masterpiece. Sincerely, Just be patient and watch it to the last frame what a disgusting flick i love it
