Viewing Notes
It’s hard to take this movie seriously, and I’m sure Franco didn’t while making it. The cannibals are just Italian men covered in art store face paint; the “gore” is just extreme closeups of said cannibals chewing on raw meat unattached to the victims themselves; and Al Cliver’s attempts at hiding his severed arm are hilarious, especially in the river fight scene where you can very clearly see his forearm and entire hand underneath his wet, white shirt.
The plot is about as deep as the paper the script was written on. My favorite part is the two philanthropists who are anything but philanthropic. The best part is the sixty second overture before the movie actually starts. It’s cool but so incongruous. It makes no sense for it to be there.
