What's Your Favourite Cannibal Film? I've just finised making a blog about a very brief history of cannibalism in cinema (Cannibalism in Cinema: Om Nom Nom!) and it got me thinking. What is your all time favourite Cannibal movie? Do you like good ol' Italian cannibal films? Or perhaps something more comical? If you had to pick ONE what would it be? |
I am a huge fan of cannibal apocalypse. Technically and artistically Cannibal holocaust is the best, Ferox a close second, I also find jungle holocaust, eaten alive, Deep river savages all lots of fun as well. But for me the best one is definately apocalypse. Mainly because Antonio margheretti is a damn fine film maker who knows how to entertain an audience, apocalypse delivers this perfectly, Its mix of deranged nam veterans, john saxon, giovanni lombardo radice and tons of grue has always made this my personal favourite. |
Themroc. tee hee. otherwise it has to be CH (wonder if theyll still remake it??):laugh::laugh::laugh: |
Cannibal Ferox Grimm Love. Two entirely different takes on the cannibal genre. |
CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST and CANNIBAL APOCALYPSE. |
Cannibal: The Musical! and Cannibal Holocaust. |
Ravenous :clap: |
last cannibal world |
Anybody seen Trouble Every Day? I have the chance to pick that up very cheaply. |
What's Your Favourite Cannibal Film? CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST and CANNIBAL FEROX CANNIBAL APOCALYPSE though not as good |
Cannibal Holocaust, Ferox and Apocalypse in that order, all the others I own are mainly collection fillers, these are the only ones that get regular spins Violence is Italian Art |

Hmm, I read about that film in the nifty little BFI book 100 European Horror Films - it didn't sound like my cuppa tea . . . |
It's a bit roundabout but I'd have to plumb for Jeunet & Caro's Delicatessen. Still not watched Ravenous yet, but it's been sat on my shelf for an age, ditto Apocalypse and The Man From Deep River. Holocaust and Ferox just aren't my bag really I'm afraid, although I absolutely and fully appreciate their importance. :o |
Actually does C.H.U.D. count? That's up there for me too. :happy: |
How about Deathline? The dude on the tube was a cannibal wasn't he? "Mind the doors!" . . . |
Oddly enough "Cannibal Holocaust" is my favourite but it's just not as cool a name as Make Them Die Slowly. "Cannibal Ferox" is lots of fun but lacks the drip feed depression of "Cannibal Holocaust" which for me is what makes it so special. |

I can't say without it being a massive spoiler...argh! I just can't bring myself to! So I'll go for Death Line instead. |
Are we talking sustained cannibalism or a moment within a film? Because if it's the latter, I think I've foolishly left off one of my all time faves: http://cdn1.iofferphoto.com/img/item...PijbMMQcjH.jpg |

How does one do the "Spoilervision" thing? I have to mention my fave cannibal themed film, but with the warning that it could ruin that film for those who have not seen it. |
You have me curious about this mystery cannibal film, and how would we know if we've seen it till we know what it is :lol: . . . |

It's not actually a cannibal film, but a film that has a surprise cannibal element. So maybe it doesn't count. It's not had many releases around the world, but I know a few guys on here have seen it. |
Really annoying as i completely forgot about Death Line and Ravenous. I was just really thinking about dodgy jungle cannibals wearing wrist watches when i said Cannibal Ferox earlier. I would like to add The Cook, The Thief His Wife and her Lover to the list of great titles already mentioned by posters. I thought Trouble Every Day was pretentious rubbish by the way. |
CANNIBAL TERROR hands down...... |
..........:lol: Only joking. For what Cannibal films set out to do,ie shock and nauseate,then it's got to be CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST..... WHEN YOU'VE ABSOLUTELY GOT TO MAKE EVERY MUTHA ****ER IN THE ROOM SPEW...ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES! ;) |
I forgot about Delicatessan! |
Easy! MOUNTAIN OF THE CANNIBAL GOD! |

You gotta laugh at the three caucasian victims of a blow-dart demise in the pre-opening credit moments of EA! The awful acting of these guys in their death throes is hilarious!:laugh: |
Pete Walker's Frightmare for me. :cool: |

An obvious answer, but Cannibal Holocaust and one which is surprisingly well written and directed, the odd feminist cannibal movie, Piranha Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death (written by the same guy who penned the screenplay for Pretty Woman!). It was originally called Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death, but was renamed because of the BBFC stance on the word 'Cannibal' |

Its a Jess Franco film (wait, come back) about topless warrior women who kill a girls family and when she grows up she vows to take topless revenge on them. Full of jungle action, its a lot of topless fun. pretty violent in places as well. Its available on Region 1 via Shriek Show, individually or as part of the excellent Jungle Girls set. |
Is it up to Jess's usual high standards? |

Sounds like it's worth a watch. I'll have to have a scour about on the net. ;) |
I forgot about Ravenous, Delicatessen and The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover. I also really like Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd, but there's also Alive (not a favourite of mine) and, I don't know how this hasn't been mentioned, Soylent Green! |
