Antropophagus is directed by the master of sleaze Joe D'Amato. He is famous making a lot of nasty and controversial movies, and often experimenting with gore and sex in them. Most of his movies are crap, but he has a few very good and memorable movies, and one of them is Antropophagus. This nasty and atmospheric movie, tell the story about a group of tourists who take a boat ride to a small Greek island. After they arrive they find the island complete deserted. After they have searched the town on the island, they return to the boat, there they find that the boat has drift away for no discernible reason and a pregnant member of the group has disappears without a trace. A storm is coming, so they decide to take refuge in an old family mansion. In this house they meet a blind girl that lives in fear, she doesn't know what has happened to the rest of the town, but is terrified of a man who she describes as smelling of blood. The group decides to uncover the mystery, but soon they find themselves being stalked by a madman.
Tisa Farrow (sister of Mia and star of Zombie 2) stars as Julie in the leading role, she does a fairly good job. George Eastman stars as the monstrous monster, he also wrote the script together with D'Amato. Antropophagus is a brutal and atmospheric film, with atmospheric I mean a dreamy one like in many Euro horrors. Antropophagus is also famous for two nasty scenes that are truly disgusting. I won't spoil you anything, just recommend you this little nasty masterpiece. So if you want to see this feature, than be certain to NOT see or buy the US or UK release known under the title Grim Reaper, that's because it's cut to pieces. Shriek Show released a nice 2-disc release a few months ago, so I recommend you to buy this.
