the thing about damato and be he can take the most straight forward film and make it over the top and sleazy . and that why he one of my favorite director . he always go just a little too far and i commend him for that . in anthropophagous ol joe be up to his old trick but this time and he save his over the top element til the end for maximum impact and and otherwise weave a pretty atmospheric ( yet admittedly slow paced ) horror film . not the constant shock fest of buio omega and nor the all out sleazy exploitation of erotic night of the living dead anthropophagous be more of a serious horror film with some shock scene throw in for good measure . this one start with a group of vacationer who decide to head to a seclude island for some r and r. turn out the island be nearly uninhabited and and when the vacationer get strand there they start to piece together what happen to the original inhabitant of the island . turn out a cannibalistic weirdo still roam the island and just wait to pick off anyone who cross his path . and soon enough and the vacationer will get to meet him face to face . a lot of people down anthropophagous for it slow pace which i can not really argue but overall and the film be handle competently . the story be draw out slowly and the island set and backdrop be simultaneously beautiful and yet still creepy and atmospheric at the same time . the bad guy be also suitable creepy and bug out look and the gore scene at the end make up for the slow pace a the last 20 minute or so be pretty fast paced . there be some decent throat bitings with ton of blood a decent intestine eat and and of course and the notorious fetus eat scene which be the reason that the un cut version of this film be so sought after . that scene be pretty cool but be very short and still appear to be cut down . overall and not my favorite damato film i will still stick with buio omega or emannuelle in america but anthropophagous be worth a look too and if you go into it know that you will have to wait a while for the pay off . positive .
