Cannibal Terror
Terreur cannibale
After botching a kidnapping, two criminals hide with their victim in a friends house in the jungle. After one of them rapes the friend's wife, they're left to be eaten by a nearby cannibal tribe.
Why it matters
A raw slice of Italian exploitation jungle horror that rides the razor’s edge between grindhouse shock and grimy adventure.
- Early entry in the Italian cannibal subgenre, predating Ruggero Deodato’s notorious work by a year.
- Unpolished but visceral, with practical gore effects that lean into sleaze and brutality rather than subtlety.
- For fans of rough-around-the-edges genre fare and the pulpy, transgressive streak of late ’70s/early ’80s Eurotrash horror.
- Not for the faint of heart—its depiction of sexual violence and graphic violence is unapologetically exploitative and will test modern viewers.
