AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

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.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Michael_Elliott The Mountain of the Cannibal God (1978) *** (out of 4) Italian cannibal flick has a wife (Ursula Andress) hiring a man (Stacy Keach) to take her through the New Guinea jungle after her husband went missing on an expedition. Soon the group are battling the wildlife as well as a cannibal tribe that were thought to have gone extinct. Sergio Martino's THE MOUNTAIN OF THE CANNIBAL GOD contains the same nasty stuff that most films in the genre have but this here is slightly different in the fact that it contains some very familiar faces. Andress certainly had come a long way since her DR. NO days but I must admit that I really enjoyed seeing her here. Even though she was 43-years-old at the time of filming, the actress looks absolutely beautiful and it was fun seeing her give it her all in regards to not only the nudity but also going around in dirty water and dealing with countless things including a large python at one point. It was also fun watching Keach here who is as calm and collective no matter what he's doing. The two of them certainly help keep the film moving and it's fun seeing them in an exploitation film like this. Martino actually does a nice job in the directing department as he at least brings some style to the film and doesn't forget to deliver on the trash. Those against animal killings are going to want to avoid this as there's some pretty graphic stuff going on here. The movie also offers up some pretty graphic violence towards humans and the uncut version of the film features a pig rape and other sexual natured stuff. In fact, I'd say go with the slightly shorter version to miss this trash. As with most in the genre, I think the films work best if you look at them as jungle adventures and on that level the locations and the drama behind the various attacks make the film worth viewing. Of course, most stomachs aren't going to be able to take it.

Horrorible_Horror_Films First off, if you are an animal rights activist, vegetarian, vegan, member of PETA or anything like that, then you'll want to stay very far away from this and any movie made by Italian directors in the 70s with the world 'Cannibal' in the title. This is because this film, like just about every other 'Cannibal' 70s movie, shows actual animal deaths, and just crazy stuff in general with live animals.Of course, things like a Boa constrictor killing and eating a monkey are actually natural, as animals (and native tribes) killing animals occur in nature, but don't tell that to a PETA member, their brain will explode from the logic.Anyway, with the true horror that happens in this film, this is actually a good, well made movie. Considering they filmed the whole thing in the jungles of Sri Lanka is amazing - the cinematography is excellent, so it the camera work. I can't even imagine how difficult of a production this would have been. For as insane as a premise this, or any 'Cannibal' movie is, it was overall a really coherent plot, and was full of horror.This is an excellent horror movie.

DigitalRevenantX7 Susan Stevenson & her brother-in-law Arthur arrive in New Guinea to search for her husband Henry, who has gone missing while on a secret expedition to Roka Island, which is forbidden to all outsiders. Along with Henry's friend Edward Foster, an anthropologist, to guide them the group head for the island. Once there they discover that Henry had discovered deposits of uranium. But the group is then captured by the Puka, a tribe of cannibals.There is nothing quite like the Italian cannibal film. This sub-genre started in 1972 with Umberto Lenzi's "Deep River Savages / The Man from Deep River" & continued on until 1981, with such 'classics' as CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST, CANNIBAL FEROX & ZOMBI HOLOCAUST.As with all these films, "Mountain" is nothing more than a collection of gore-laden shock effects. We have a decapitation, a guy caught in a stake cage trap, a cannibal being castrated for trying to rape star Ursula Andress, a dwarf's brains splattered all over a rock & a corpse with a Geiger counter rammed into its rib cage. I would recommend this for gorehounds such as myself, but for all others to avoid.

HumanoidOfFlesh Susan(Ursula Andress)Stevenson's ethnologist husband has gone missing during an expedition in New Guinea.Susan goes after him with her brother Arthur enlisting his friend Edward Foster(Stacy Keach)as a guide.The missing man was last seen headed for a "cursed" mountain on an island.The trip there is fraught with peril from animals and natives as well as the prospect of betrayal by members of the search party with ulterior motives.Finally at the mountain the remaining members of the expedition must cope with a Stone Age cannibal tribe."Mountain of the Cannibal God" is not as harrowing and disturbing as Deodato's "Cannibal Holocaust" or "Jungle Holocaust". There are some strong gore scenes and brutal animal butchery including iguana slaying,unfortunately with relatively no cannibals in sight until the climax.Still there's a really nice decapitation,a guy who gets all cut up in some kind of cannibal mantrap,a native who gets devoured by an alligator and even a bestiality scene.It's great to see Ursula Andress ravishing body in the finale.8 out of 10.
