Inspired by the excellent dvd box set "Video Nasties:The Definitive Guide", I decided to 'dig out' one of the previously banned infamous nasties which had somehow passed me by.I'd seen Cannibal Ferox and Holocaust many years ago, Ferox lives up to it's infamous reputation, gory,grim but great 'fun', Holocaust on the other hand is also gory, incredibly grim, but also a very well made horror movie of it's time, you'll feel the need for a shower after watching this slice of Italian sleeze.
So how does Cannibal Apocalypse size up?
Well we have the usual ingredients of an Italian shlocker, crap American actors, truly dreadful acting, appalling dialogue, but sadly the gore count is surprisingly low and I'm struggling to see what offended the authorities so much with this flick, a few people get bitten, there are a couple of stand out gore moments but it must be said theses are few and far between and the film is now readily available to buy.....though I wouldn't waste the time or money.
