Mondo Holocausto! (2010)
Not sure what to make of this one, here's the IMDB entry: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1380991/ Quote:
Serafina is a beautiful photo-journalist in New York City circa 1977. She heads to the Amazons on assignment to find a missing adventurer known as Diamondback; but things go terribly awry when vicious cannibals start eating the peaceful tribal villages out of hut and home.
| The director himself said this, on another forum: Quote:
As an Italian genre fan, I am in the same boat and feel very protective over the cannibal genre - I can't tell you enough when pressed as to what kind of film I am making, how many people's eyes glaze over in confusion when I say, "a 70's Italian Cannibal Film that is completely voice-dubbed for the foreign/comedic effect." (((glaze))) But it really doesn't matter - cuz at the end of the day, I just want to see a kick-ass, ultra-gory, dubbed, chalk-full of nudity jungle/adventure/horror flick - that is handled with at least some kind of respect and care for this forgotten era. There are definitely some comedic elements to this film - but they are from the natural conventions used by the Italian Directors of yesteryear. For example - when the Italians would make a serious horror film back then, they would have to eventually dub the flick in English, to sell to the American Markets; thus sometimes turning their film into an accidental "comedy" - that coupled with the use of stock-footage and the cost-cutting production techniques. All-in-all, this is my love letter to Italian Cannibal Films that have brought me numerous hours of entertainment - at times, the script is satirical - but, it is mostly a brutal, wrong on so many levels, nude/gore-fest.
| Sounds like it could be interesting, let's wait and see. I'm half expecting it to never happen. But looking at the proposed cast, this would certainly be worth a look if it ever does materialise. |
