WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Onlinewsma Absolutely Brilliant!

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

jadavix "Cannibal Apocalypse" is a tedious, pointless waste of time that offers no apocalypse and barely any cannibalism.In fact it is barely even a horror movie: there's only one scene late in the movie that registers as a possible source of tension and the violence is actually really minimal.The movie is something about a group of Vietnam vets getting a disease that makes them cannibals. The character played by John Saxon is a vet who may be going psycho himself. There is an interminable sequence early in the movie where one of these crazy veterans - named Charles Bukowski(?) - is holed up in a store he tried to rob shooting at police. So the disease makes you eat people, but also try to rob stores?The movie has this oddly distancing feeling to it. Saxon being the hero who may also be about to join the bad guys should be a source of dramatic tension, but is not explored. The movie is more like long, tedious shots of a city with the odd violent moment thrown in.

blackwolf Antonio Margheriti gave me exactly what I wanted, and more. Blood and guts? Check. Decent paced story? Check. Cool as hell camera angels? Check. If you've read into the backstory of John Saxon giving a bad performance, you'd be surprised to know his sub-par acting is miles above those who try, but fail. Plus, cannibalism as a disease? That's f*****g awesome. This movie, to me, was way better than many of the other cannibal films that recycle the whole "tribesmen getting revenge on white man" story. Who would of thought cannibalism in the big city would be so effective? If you can even get a copy of this film, give it a go.

Bezenby John Saxon seems to be having all sorts of problems. One, he's having flashbacks to Vietnam, where he witnesses two of his men chowing down on somebody before biting him, and two: his teenage neighbour is coming on strong but all John has is an urge to bit her. Nevertheless, he trying to cope, until one of his buddies gets released from the loony bin and starts biting folk in a cinema.Cannibal Apocalypse, on the surface, appears to be your usual Italian gut muncher, what with all the gore and what not, but what is it I detect underneath? Could that be Social Commentary? The Vietnam vets in this film (well, the two who aren't complete raving lunatics) seem to drift through their world on a wave of indifference and hostility; John Saxon's character is misunderstood - his wife conspires behind his back with a love rival, and Giovanni Radice's Charlie can barely comprehend anything that's going on around him. Wouldn't we all just go a bit insane and go on a murderous rampage? The answer is: I watch too many of these films.Cannibal Apocalypse moves at a slightly slower pace than it's contemporaries, but Antonio ain't no fool. I've never seen a film by him that even approaches bad. Saxon and Radice both play their parts well, Saxon as an introverted, troubled man and Radice as a guy who is completely out of place in post Nam America. For those who just like to get drunk and watch blood fly, there's plenty of that here too. It's just that this time there's a little genuine drama in the mix too.

Michael O'Keefe Part zombie, part cannibal, part gore equals full of crap. Come on...it just doesn't work. Commando Norman Hopper(John Saxon)rescues a couple of Vietnam POWs who contracted a rare disease that compels them to consume human flesh. One of the soldiers, Charlie Bukowski(John Morghen)bites Hopper in the rescue. War hero Hopper will be plagued with cannibal instincts fighting their way to the surface. Bukowski escapes from a veteran's psychiatric hospital and immediately goes into relapse and a gory rampage begins. A gun battle with police will comprise the meat (no pun intended)of the movie. An overload of ridiculous profanity doesn't succeed in shocking anyone...just laughable. Special effects are just as hilarious. Also in the cast: Elizabeth Turner, Wallace Wilkinson, Tony King and May Heatherly.
