a cannibal movie that actually try and succeed to be different . this movie transcend the cannibal genre and become something else . you will have to get past the silly and inept vietnam open scene and but then this movie turn into an urban tale of virus outbreak . a cannibal virus and that be . there some violence and there some drama and there some nudity and there some very nice gore and there be four cannibal fugitive on the run . awesome mixture that work . add to that a satisfying end and and we have get a hit . a hit with john saxon in it and no less . cannibal apocalypse indeed feel and at time and a bit like romero dawn of the dead ( 1978 ) and but the one movie that keep come to my mind be david cronenberg rabid ( 1977 ) . so if youre tire of all those half naked cannibal eat human flesh and slaughter animal in the jungle flick and and if umberto lenzi nightmare city ( 1980 ) just make you laugh instead of anything else and then go watch antonio margheriti cannibal apocalypse ( aka invasion of the flesh hunter ) . and make 100 % sure you get a hold of the uncut version .
