italian horror movie from the 70 and 80 especially and be not really know for their subtitle or overall brilliantness . let face it and they always have low production value and have a cheap look over it and with actor in it that really can not act . in essence all of the movie be also the same with it story and development . antropophagus be really no exception to this all but have a a big difference that it really well developed and build up and which provide the movie with a great horror atmosphere that be both tense and gory and despite be predictable from start till finish . next to the gore and also all of the other typical italian horror movie element be present here while many young character and a scary kid ( although she be only scary in one sequence ) and cannibalism and a psychotic monster like killer . no sex or nudity present though this time and which be a bit of a surprise . the movie be really well build up . it feature many scare and false scare . also the tense end do not disappoint . it also definitely help the movie and it tension that the killer his face isn not show until about halve way through the movie . it make the movie more mysterious and tense at the same time and which also really add to the atmosphere . also the environment add to this atmosphere . the movie be set on a small greek uninhabited island and where all the former resident be slaughter . it make the island empty and moody and claustrophobic and which all suit the horror genre really well of course . there be also two sequence that make this movie a memorable one and through that also make it distinct itself from other genre movie . the first be the one in which our psychotic monster rip an unborn fetus out of the belly of a woman and start to eat it and while the die husband be watch and the second one be the end when the killer be start to eat his own intestine after be stab in the belly . really some unforgettable and gory sequence . the movie be fill with also some other great gory sequence and scare moment and such a the head in the bucket and the irina karamanlis suicide . the movie be also help by it killer and that be a great character and who be also quite scary look . the budget for the movie obviously wasn not very high . like with all italian genre movie be the case and the sound be terrible and the movie cheap look and the actor be amateurs . i also at the same time add to the charm of the movie and it give b slasher movie like this one ( because let face it and this be a b movie and no matter how well it make ) a big cult follow . and in that perspective and this movie by specialist joe damato be definitely one of the good one out of it genre . positive .
