Quite a raw film that not only focuses on eating human flesh, but also pays attention to animal cruelty, human cruelty and the harshness of jungle life. We see torment, bloodlust and gore.

Despite these horror elements, the film is mainly an adventure film. A survival journey of a man who undergoes the horrors of captivity in a cannibal camp, escapes in spectacular fashion and then finds his way to freedom. An exciting adventure, but an adventure full of shocking action. Of course there are cannibals walking around in the film.

There are some gruesome scenes in the film, where I got the strong impression that not much was staged in an artificial way. That thought makes the shock of seeing some atrocities all the more intense. In any case, the violent treatment of animals appears very realistic and quite confrontational.

There are even more explicit things to see in the film. A lot of nudity, for example. Not in a provocative way but more in a realistic way. Functional so to speak. And yes, the fact that Mrs. Me Me Lai always pleasantly hops between them like a kind of stimulus doll can hardly be called functional. Oh well, she's just the pleasant exception to the rule. An exceptionality that absolutely smacks of exploitation. So appetizing and yet cannibal, that is not very realistic. I just saw her as a medicine against all horror. You will not hear from me again about this piece of carelessness.

Nice movie.

Mediocre horror adventure. As expected, the story is not much and has no surprises compared to similar material. The beginning isn't that bad. The tension builds up nicely and as a viewer you have the feeling that something horrible can happen at any time. Unfortunately, that is somewhat disappointing. Of course there are some spicy scenes, but don't expect Cannibal Holocaust-like horrors. The second part is the weakest and lacks a real climax. 2.0/.25

A comparison with Cannibal Holocaust is never far away with this film. This film was released a few years earlier. The design of adventure cannibal films is often the same, of course. It never actually gets super scary or gross. That human bodies are hollowed out and used as a Green Egg, well. It will look so fake that it didn't really bother me.

Then I was more impressed by the captured crocodile. I also hope it was fake. The cannibals then were bloodthirsty savages. And their offspring were equally sadistic, throwing stones or urinating on prisoners. Of course, not much good can come of it later. A bit of torture with ants, in your imagination it is quite scary, but visually it all remains well behaved.

I certainly wasn't bored. And the beautiful Me Me Lai was also welcome. Nice to see, but not a high flyer. It is interesting to know that the director was accused of murder at the time because it was really thought that a number of actors had been murdered. Fortunately, that could be cleared up after a while...
