timothycrugnale Nothing happens and when it does it still feels like nothing happened. I dunno why I didn't give it a one. Something just tells me, it was a three.

Platypuschow This Italian/German made horror tells the tale of a group of characters so dull and personality less I don't think I ever even acknowledged their names. They arrive on an island and come under attack from a cannibal, each being picked off one by one.As you can imagine you'll have seen it all before but the film does have a couple of notable features.Radiating that 70's vibe you'll be right at home with the ridiculously red "Blood", over the top blips and blops within the soundtrack and all the usual tropes.Antropophagus was one of those banned video nasties which you watch now and you simply cannot understand why. This one however does have one particularly unpleasant scene but even that is done in such a laughable manner it loses credibility.The Good: One great death scene Interesting killer The Bad: Awful 70's score "That" baby scene Lifeless characters Things I learnt from this movie: Not every Italian horror is a masterpieceOur killer must be an atheist since he eats a baby

callanvass I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this movie is disappointingly inconsistent. Like most Itallian horror films. The character development is pretty much null but that's not why I watch them. Italian horror films can be very stylish and take you on some memorable rides. The first half of this movie is unspeakably dull. We get a cornucopia amount of scenes with characters walking around and doing absolutely nothing of note on a deserted island. It just goes on, and on, and on to the point where I almost wanted to shut it off. The musical score is very weird, and unlike anything I've ever heard before. I will give credit to a few things. The second half piles on the suspense and some excellent atmosphere, but what the hell was Joe D'Amato going for before this? It really makes my head spin. The killer (Chillingly played by George Eastman) is one of the most frightening characters I've ever seen, and the scary thing is he's not technically a zombie, he's a cannibal! He just has an insatiable need to munch of people's body parts. It was really, really creepy. The gore scenes have given this movie its notoriety. We get a meat clever in the face, severed head in a bucket, a throat gets ripped out and blood gushes out all over the place. We also get nasty stabbings, an Axe in the stomach, and two of the nastiest scenes you'll ever see in a horror film. We get the famous fetus eating scene, and someone eating his own intestines! Those two scenes are the reason this has been labeled a video nasty. Wonderfully sick stuff! The acting isn't worth mentioning except for Tisa Farrow. She was the main female in Zombie as well. She did OK. Make sure you avoid The Grim Reaper at all costs! It cuts out the two main gore scenes. Final Thoughts: If it wasn't for the extremely boring first half, this would most likely be considered a classic horror film. The second half has a lot of memorable stuff in it that will stick with you. It's a pretty twisted movie that warrants a recommendation on its reputation alone. Just avoid The Grim Reaper, and prepare yourself for an agonizing first half…5/10

FilmFatale A group of tourists head to a Greek island where they are puzzled to find no one around. Eventually, they run into a blind girl who can't solve the mystery but tells them of a man who smells like blood. That man would be George Eastman, who was forced to commit some horrible acts while stranded at sea and was so traumatized, he had no choice but to go cannibal on his friends and neighbors when he returned home.No one watches this for the story, and there are a few standout gore pieces. However, if you're watching it for the gore, be sure to avoid the cut versions. If you get one of these instead of a full version, it will make even less sense and you get no payoff. :) Anthropophagus isn't as shocking as I'd been led to believe, but it does have its own grimy, nasty charm.
