Cannibal Ferox Official Trailer

Three friends out to disprove cannibalism meet two men on the run who tortured and enslaved a cannibal tribe to find emeralds, and now the tribe is out for revenge.
The Italian cannibal movies of the 70's and 80's enjoy a little-recognized point of distinction from the more conventional horror films of their era. To the best of my knowledge, every single one of them was either targeted by the Director of Public Prosecutions during the height of the Video Nasties scare or banned from Great Britain's video stores as a result of the Video Recordings Act of 1984. I can think of no other case since the 1930's in which an entire genre was expressly given the boot from an entire country— or at least not from any country that wasn't under the thumb of some manner of authoritarian dictator. Perhaps because it was the first film of its kind that I saw (or indeed heard of), I tend to think of Umberto Lenzi's Make Them Die Slowly as a sort of poster child for its whole sordid tribe. Whether that's valid or not, I definitely believe this film's divergent fates on the opposing shores of the Atlantic have something to tell us about the difference between the British response to the rise of hardcore gore movies and the American. Make Them Die Slowly was banned in the UK, but here in the States, it was promoted with one-sheets and video boxes that proudly proclaimed, "Banned in 31 countries!" This is one instance, I think, in which we Ugly Americans are indisputably on the side of the angels.
