Nice entertainment, nothing more than that. You shouldn't look for depth in this cannibal film. In the end it's all about former Bond girl Ursula Andress and I have to say she looked quite attractive in the nude. Furthermore, a lot of gore, especially towards the end, a cannibal fucking a pig, who apparently thought it was all fine. The ending was of course very cheap. But yes, again; It was all entertaining despite the rather boring first hour. I've seen cannibal movies that were considerably less so.

3.0*

It's been a while since I watched a cannibal movie, so it was time again. And sure enough, Mountain of the Cannibal God was a pretty nice one. This time it concerns an expedition to New Guinea, including Ursula Andress who is looking for her husband who went missing in the jungle, an adventurous professor and a number of other accompanying characters with various motives. It is quite an entertaining experience, where a large part of the film is a kind of adventurous trek through the bush, with the constant threat of strange masked natives, and of course also of the local fauna. Although this film leans more towards an adventure film than a pure horror, all the ingredients from the Italian cannibal world are present: a lot of bloody animal suffering (especially a lot of snakes and monitor lizards that eat other animals, but it certainly doesn't stop there). ), a claustrophobic atmosphere with plenty of gruesome details, and a fairly standard expedition-in-cannibal-land plot, but with a beautiful setting. The cast still does a reasonable job, although Ursula Andress turns out to be a really terrible actress, and I think the cannibal tribe and their masks look quite brutal. A positive surprise.

Excruciatingly boring cannibal flick by Sergio Martino.

It all takes a very long time to get going. In addition, the cast is anything but interesting. The men don't radiate anything and Ursula Andress is about the most boring female lead of all the female leads in the cannibal genre. Claudio Cassinelli later joins the group and is very cool. It's nice that we at least got one more characteristic head.

The Shameless Bluray has tamed the animal cruelty a bit, but as a viewer you still have to endure quite a bit in that area. Horror focused on people - I think Martino was less interested in people. It's not much and the kills aren't memorable at all.

The soundtrack of the De Angelis brothers (band name Oliver Onions, who almost always provided the iconic soundtracks of the Spencer / Hill films) actually only has 1 nice track, and after an hour and a half you actually discover that you have only seen 1 strong scene (the waterfall climb).

Even when the cannibals are quite prominent in the last half hour, any form of threat or even a lot of violence simply remains absent. Martino was more concerned with the shock factor by quickly filming a scene in which snakes are eaten, zooming in between the legs of a fingering woman and having a native fuck a pig...

Quite a hopeless intention, of which Cassinelli is one of the few advantages.
