No masterpiece by any means. Some gore and a bizarre ending, but certainly not amongst the best of the nasties.

Cool, I just had a quick look and they've got it on sendit.com but it's ?12.89. If it's not that good I might have to have a look on ebay, see if I can pick it up cheaper. Cheers guys.

Haven't seen the film myself as yet.

John Martyn in The Seduction of the Gullible describes it as being abysmal.

Anyone got that 'Anthropophagus' SE 2-Disc set? I saw it on ebay last week, dying to get a copy of that. I've only got it on a cheap German release from a while back, it's fully uncut but it's a pretty bad transfer and some of the scenes have only got Italian dialogue with no sub-titles It's quite a crappy release but at least it's uncut, far better than that atrocity released by Hollywood DVD as 'The Grim Reaper'.

You've missed nothing, Angel. The body count is low (about 4 and one of those is off-screen) and it takes AGES to start. Good machete murder but the ending is a matter of credibility (or lack of).

A fiver on Play by the way (though out of stock at the moment). That's about 4.50 too much.

The only thing I preferred about the Hollywood dvd of Anthro was the far superior score. Have to say I found the score in the original version a bit dead. It's a film that I rate quite highly though.

Yes it's not a bad film at all. The uncut version could well do with a UK release.

I much preferred Anthro to Absurd.

I thought Absurd started and finished well but it dies a death in the middle section of the film.
