i remember see this movie in theatre back in the 80 . but i do not remember it be this lame . the medium blaster or shriek show be a heavily edit version . most infuriating be the fact that the trailer provide on the dvd show some of the gore that have be edit out . a group of friend decide to take a vacation on a greek island . but first there the a long intro kill . a couple go to the beach . the girl go swim and see a boat and swim to the boat look in it and see something that make her scream . whatever she see we do not get to see . then we see blood appear in the ocean . the guy be listen to music on the beach and his head will meet an axe . back in greece and our group go to the posh house at which they stay and but there something wrong . some ghostly woman appear but hide from them . in the basement they find a hysterical woman cover in blood and who warn them of someone . finally and in minute 52 ( . ) we finally meet our flesh eater who spend time in some real underground catacomb associate with some church . there we get to see one of the two decent gore scene in the movie . our villain dispatch a couple of our friend but eventually meet meet a cruel and ironic death . this movie in it rat version be painfully slow and with very little worth see . one can not care about any of the character . one good thing be that we get to see why the anthropophagus become an anthropophagus . presumable there some connection to the opening scene and but since we do not see that in it entirety and a it be and part of that intro be pointless . the scenery be great and be film on beautiful and fascinating location . i can not recommend the rat version .
