the idea and atmosphere of this film come from great and universal horror theme represent a secluded and creepy greek island and lose tourist and the tragic horror story of a man who have to eat his wife and child in order to survive while lose at sea and a scary old mansion . all wonderful horror ( and with a genuinely tragic monster and the backbone of all great horror ) . the scene in which tisa farrow be hang in the well and george eastman ( the cannibal monster ) be reach out to grab her be masterful suspense and and the scene of eastman eat the fetus and his own entrails remain shock today and 25 year later . i have find myself compare many different seclude island horror movie to this one and most recently stuart gordon dagon and but also shockwaves and both great but neither quite evoke the atmosphere and classic horror that antropophagus do . the greek folk music piece early in the film draw me back and whenever i hear it and to the dark side of the seclusion of the little island in the aegean sea ( the only other film in which i have hear this song be my big fat greek wedding . needless to say and the use of the song in mbfgw come off a terribly irritate to this gorehound ) . though the cut i have see of antropophagus could stand to be clean up ( and convert into one language throughout the film ) and these cosmetic problem should not be translate into slow and dull to modern eye . this film be spirit and delightful and with all of the suspense and grue of it era pack into 90 minute . absolutely essential view for the eurohorror fan .
