The Mountain of the Cannibal God 1978

IMDb
A girl and her brother fly to New Guinea to look for a lost expedition, led by her husband, which has vanished in the great jungle.



HorrorPedia

‘When the price of lust is death!’

The Mountain of the Cannibal God (Italian title: La montagna del dio cannibale) is a 1978 Italian cult movie starring Ursula Andress and Stacy Keach with English dialogue that was filmed in Sri Lanka. The film was also widely released as Slave of the Cannibal God and in the UK as Prisoner of the Cannibal God. Despite being shown in cinemas in a BBFC cut version, it was banned in Britain until 2001 for its graphic violence and considered a “video nasty”.

Incredibly, not stopping the cannibal cycle of films which appeared in the late 1970s and early 1980s in its tracks, The Mountain of the Cannibal God is one of the most head-scratching entries. Despite the cruelty inflicted upon animals in the film and the nudity, most famously that of Ursula Andress, underlying is an enjoyable but actually terribly ropey film which offers nothing in the way of tension, drama or soul.

The plot is straightforward enough, Andress playing Susan Stevenson, the wife of an anthropologist who has been missing in the jungles of Guinea (check that sat nav, chaps), sets off to try and find him, with the aid of her annoying brother (Antonio Marsina) and scientist Edward Foster (Stacy Keach). The twist in the tale is that the siblings are actually searching for radioactive uranium hidden in remote caves – that’s if you don’t consider running into a tribe of peckish cannibals as a twist.

Keach was not adverse to taking roles that veered from, for example, Barrabas in Jesus of Nazareth to grimy British crime movie The Squeeze but exactly what Andress’s agent had assured her about the film is unclear – though years had passed since Dr No, an appearance just three years later in Clash of the Titans, surely proved her star had not completely diminished. The setting is anything but as classy asShe. Regardless, the pair roam through the utterly unconvincingly dense forest, passing the same cheeseplants again and again, enough times that you too will soon forget why you thought all this was a good idea. 

On paper, the plot seems acceptable enough but it runs out of steam almost instantly, leaving us with unlovable characters and some tedious padding. The appearance of  the character Manolo (played by Claudio Cassinelli, who tragically died in a helipcopter crash in Martino’s Fists of Fury in 1986) makes little sense, other than to keep prodding Andress and Keach awake. Fortunately, we receive rather bigger jolts to keep us enthralled.

Though Martino has insisted that it was the producers of the film who insisted that footage of animals being slaughtered was inserted into the film, this excuse is used so often that it’s difficult to take seriously; was it really such a prizes project that a director of Martino’s standing and reputation would go along with any request? Thus, a large lizard is butchered, snakes skinned, a large spider trodden on and a cute fluffy thing, clearly with the same manager as Andress,  is strangled by a boa constrictor… very slowly.

That said, rather like ivory ornaments from yesterday, what’s done is done, it’s there and though ghoulish, it adds nothing, so poorly added to the rest of the film that it comes across as being just as, if not more gratuitous than, similar scenes in the far more challenging Cannibal Holocaust, Last Cannibal World andCannibal Ferox. Keach bails out of the horror by falling off a waterfall, whilst Andress survives having a massive, drooling snake (do boa constrictors actually  drool? Answers by fax, please) drop on her, the wrestling scene being as convincing as a warm-up between Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks.

If the indignity of the script and the low budget weren’t enough, Andress still had to come to terms with the plentiful nudity she was expected to deliver – she didn’t disappoint. After finding her husband, dead and now looking like a toffee apple that’s been dropped on the carpet, her true motives are revealed but not before the cannibals capture her, treating her first as fondue and then as a Goddess. To prove their adulation, she is stripped and has her breasts anointed with orange mud (or maybe it’s honey) by cannibals who are similarly attired. The camera cuts to another cannibal girl, clearly enjoying herself whilst the frenzy of cannibals feasting and Ursula’s fondling reach a perplexing climax. To confirm you really are imagining it all, a dwarf cannibal is brained on the wall of a cave and one of his mates enthusiastically simulates congress with a large pig. Well done everyone.

Martino is a terribly frustrating director, conjuring up wonderful gems like All the Colors of the Dark andYour Vice is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key and, well, this. I appreciate we all have gas bills to pay but at what stage this wasn’t a catastrophe I can’t imagine. It is, still, well worth a watch, for all the bad stuff and the good – in particular the score from those prolific brothers, Guido and Maurizio De Angelis.

Jungle Holocaust 1977

IMDb
An oil prospector escapes from capture by a primitive cannibal tribe in the Philippine rain forest and heads out to locate his missing companion and their plane to return home.


Monsterhuntermoviereviews

From what I’ve been able to gather from thesecannibal movies, the actual presence of primitive tribes practicing cannibalism in today’s world is pretty limited. So how is it then that if these vicious cannibals are invariably “the last of their kind” a “lost tribe” or “thought long extinct” that every stupid group of documentary filmmakers, reporters, fashion models, and businessmen manage to either crash land smack dab in the middle of their territory, or worse yet, mount an expedition that takes them straight into their stew pots?

As expected from an Italian cannibal flick, Ruggero Deodato’s (Dial: Help) Jungle Holocaust offers up plenty of grim death, torture, and animal abuse, but is also surprisingly involving since Deodato approaches the story of businessman Robert Harper as one of survival and how Harper does whatever it takes to stay alive, ultimately committing the very acts that he once believed separated modern man from the primitives.

Things start off inauspiciously enough with Robert and three other people on a small plane flying into the jungle to check out some business concern he’s trying to get up and running there. No one on the ground answers their radio calls and the landing strip hasn’t been mowed in a few weeks which causes the plane to lose a wheel on landing.

Robert isn’t too thrilled with his workers and upon checking the camp finds it deserted. A search of the area shows evidence that his crew may have met their fate at the hands of a tribe of cannibals, so Robert and his three companions go back to the plane, the wheel having been fixed and decide to fly out in the morning when it’s light out.

The next day, the pilot ends up impaled on one of those falling spike balls the cannibals always have tied in the trees for intruders and Robert and his remaining friend Rolf (Ivan Rassimov from Spasmo) decide they need to get back to the plane and get out of there before they’re next.

Their problem though is that the cannibals have chased them around so that they’re lost and they end up building a raft to get them down the river that they think flowed passed the airfield.

Robert and Rolf are ultimately separated when they go over some pretty nasty rapids and Robert ends up a prisoner of the cannibal tribe while Rolf has completely disappeared.

The middle part of the movie where Robert is held captive by the tribe at once hews closely to the conventions of these sorts of movies, but also manages to go beyond the expected scenes of carnage.

You are treated to various scenes of animals being slaughtered and some gore, but it’s not omnipresent or done purely to shock so much as to illustrate what Robert was going through and what caused him to descend into savagery by the end of the film.

Some of the movie’s best stomach churning moments have nothing to do with the gore as both us and Robert wonder why they haven’t simply killed and eaten him. He figures out that because he came in on the airplane, they think he’s like a bird and can fly.

This results in some queasy scenes where they hoist him up to the top of the enormous cave they inhabit and then let him drop free-fall style until he almost crashes on the ground. Who knew that the bungee jump was invented by a lost tribe of jungle cannibals?

He survives that and is thrown in a cage with some birds and realizes that he will soon be used for gator bait. This is when he decides that it’s time to get primitive on these jokers and grabs a good sturdy rock and pulls the old possum trick before brutally making his escape.

Robert’s ultimate act of becoming those that he has struggled against takes place shortly before he gets back to the plane. Once aboard the plane Robert pleads with the barely alive Rolf to tell him that Rolf would’ve have done the same thing if it were him.

A surprisingly gripping account that mostly fulfills the icky promise these cannibal movies usually fail so dismally at. Of the high profile Italian jungle movies including Cannibal Holocaust,Cannibal Ferox, and Eaten Alive, Jungle Holocaust is far and away the best of the lot.

Massimo Foschi lets all hang out (literally) and impresses with a performance that gets across Robert’s changing character with very little dialogue and wide-eyed looks that go from shock, to haunted, to numbed.

The decision to concentrate on a single man, his fears and uncertainty as to his fate, the things he has to endure, and the acts he has to commit in an effort to stay alive transforms what could have been simply another crummy collection of special effects shots and animal slaughter footage, into something shocking – a story that horrifies you, but doesn’t gross you out.

I spit on your Grave

IMDb
An aspiring writer is repeatedly gang-raped, humiliated, and left for dead by four men whom she systematically hunts down to seek revenge.


Rotten Tomatoes

MOVIE INFO

Originally released as Day of the Woman but far more successful under this lurid title, I Spit on Your Grave stars Camille Keaton as Jennifer, a woman brutally raped by four thugs. She survives the crime to seek savage, bloody revenge.

Oh The Horror

“You know, sometimes I look at these glorious lookin’ chicks. I mean, the ones that look like real knockouts; sexy and all. And, I wonder… I wonder if they gotta take a shit too?”

I Spit on Your Grave. Quite possibly the most notorious title in exploitation horror history, the movie has been bashed by most and yet is enjoyed by a select few. The rape/revenge movies have always been the subjects of much debate and none were as debated as Meir Zarchi’s effort, which carries one of the greatest titles in horror film history. When effective, rape/revenge films leave the viewer battered and bruised, disoriented from the crash and feeling as abused as the victim.Night Train Murders was a perfect example of this, a well made film with likable characters, great direction and good pacing. I’d seen my fair share of notorious “bad taste” films and I enjoy a lot of them for what they are, an exercise in the mind of a madman, realistic portrayals of sickening events that rip your heart out. For the most part, though, they really aren’t all they’re cracked up to be. Cannibal Holocaust is the only film I’ve encountered that truly lived up to the hype and it became one of my favorite horror films of all time. Will I Spit on Your Grave be as effective or will it be just another film that lives on because of exaggerated word of mouth? 

Jennifer Hills (Camille Keaton) is a writer from New York who decides to get away from it all and take a trip to the country. After writing many short stories, she has decided to pursue writing her first novel and thinks the lack of distraction alone in the woods will be a great way to focus on her material. She is a strong, independent woman and most of the stories she’s had published were in women’s magazines. When she arrives at her lakeshore cabin, she decides to take a little skinny dip in the lake (because that would be the obvious thing to do, right?). After her little swim, she gets dressed before getting a visitor at her door. Matthew Lucas (Richard Pace) arrives, delivering her groceries. He’s mildly retarded and rather silly looking, and seems to be a very kind guy. Jennifer is nice to him and he takes a liking to her lack of a bra and cut-off jeans, not to mention the tip. 

Matthew takes off on his bike and goes to the local gas station where Jennifer had filled up as she came into town and chats with the town hicks, a real bunch of philosophers. He tells them he saw her tits and they rib him because he’s taken quite a liking to her (and because they figure he’ll die a virgin). A while later, Jennifer is relaxing in her canoe on the lake when a motorboat approaches her and begins circling her like a shark before tying the end of the canoe to their boat and driving off with her in tow. It turns out to be the town hicks with their “friend” Matthew coming along for the ride and they aren’t taking her to land for a picnic. She is brutally raped on four different occasions by the men before being left for dead. The hicks decide Matthew should be the one to kill her and he chickens out, but assures everyone he’s done the deed. After recovering and getting her senses back (although not too many of them), Jennifer makes a trip to the town church. She kneels before the cross and merely says two words. ”Forgive me.”

My head shook when I finished viewing I Spit on Your Grave, but not in a bad way. I had been greatly misinformed by nearly everyone whom I had conversed about the film with. I cannot believe so many people take this cheese-fest so damned seriously. I guess it’s due to the taboo subject of rape in film. People seem to think they’re divine because they find rape in a film offensive, yet have no problems watching innocent people be slaughtered, possessed and chopped up in countless horror films. No matter what the film is about, the real quality that determines the effect is the tone, and the tone of I Spit on Your Grave is not that serious. Obviously I am not advocating rape any more than a horror fan would advocate murder, but the madness needs to stop. Just because we’ve been desensitized to death in films doesn’t mean it’s a less horrendous deed. If you still believe rape in any form in a film is off limits, then this review will not apply to you.

It’s not to say there aren’t many disturbing moments in I Spit on Your Grave, as there certainly are. Seeing Jennifer raped over a large rock before emerging from the forest bloody and bruised is very scary and her writhing and crawling in pain after laying motionless over the rock seems very real. The fact that the film takes a cue from The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and features no music other than some hicks playing a harmonica here and there further ups the sickening feeling. The mildly retarded man being forced to rape Jennifer is really disturbing; as is the way the other men treat him in general. He is just a guy trying to get a few friends and as you know little of the town (for all we know, these are the only guys loitering around for him to interact with), so it’s really hard to feel anything but sorrow for him. The final rape scene is akin in disgust to the rock scene. Jennifer’s dirty and broken body lies on the floor and she pleads to use her hand on the man instead of him going inside her because she hurts so much. These scenes are not pleasant and are really effective, and if the entire movie was like this I would be more likely to be in the slightly offended boat. The long rape scene people often reference really isn’t that long, and the actual raping takes up under ten minutes of the film or so. If Meir Zarchi really wanted to make a disgusting film, he’d have focused more on Camille naked, made the rape scenes longer and more vicious and he sure as hell wouldn’t have had Jennifer get her revenge.

Everyone familiar with the film knows Siskel & Ebert went nuts over I Spit on Your Grave, blasting it every chance they could. They hammered it as the worst movie ever made; so vile, disgusting and misogynistic that it was unfit for anyone to view. In my opinion, I believe they weren’t fans of our genre of cinema and saw this as the perfect film to pick on and get everyone on their side to lobby against exploitation horror and slashers from being made. Like always, the opposite occurred from their attempts to banish it and it became one of the most infamous cult classics of all time, inspiring people to see the film more so than if they’d have just left it alone (the amazing title also helped). How can you cry misogyny when the guys doing the raping have the combined IQ of Peewee Herman’s right shoe? Those accusing the film of being anti-women are demeaning men because these hicks are some real winners; they are downright imbeciles and have no right being lumped in with the average male (as dumb as the average male is). The character of Matthew could really have been a much more serious point in the movie, but they chose to make him very kid-like and he acts as though he’s in some 50s sitcom, with a silly hat to boot. If you’ve seen Leaving Las Vegas, you know that it has a similar scene which is much more effective and it’s not even a horror film. It’s all about the tone, my friends. The film predates Friday the 13th, but the rednecks are similar to Jason Voorhees, they pop up wherever Jennifer happens to be at the time. 

On the best of days, I struggle not to laugh at rednecks and the hilarity is on display here in droves, with such classic lines as the one above as well as, “one day I’m gonna go to New York and fuck all the broads there”, which is said dead seriously. You can’t wait to see Jennifer hack these moronic hicks up and she does it in fine form, she is genuinely creepy and devoid of emotion (despite a few what the fuck moments) as she does it, she’s actually pretty bad ass. The movie is very bloody in these parts and you are cheering her on every step of the way. It’s fun to see the assholes squirm and one even tries to blame her for the raping because she showed her legs off in front of him at the beginning of the movie. Then there’s the scene in a local diner where they openly talk about the rape/murder and one man yells at another, calling him a murderer. As I said, a real bunch of Einsteins, it is way too hard for me to take this cheesy treasure as a serious piece of cinema. Meir Zarchi does manage some nice cinematography and a jump scare that really made me hop out of my seat and comes out with a perfect combination of cheese and sleaze. The Image DVD is loaded with pictures, trailers, reviews (including the ones done by Siskel & Ebert) and a couple commentaries, the best of which done by Joe Bob Briggs. It’s downright hilarious and he basically points out how everything in the film supposedly stood for was overreacted to. A redneck himself, Joe Bob Briggs is the voice of reason. Very fitting. Buy it!
