4.0 out of 5 stars CULT CLASSIC (MEDIA BLASTERS/SHRIEK SHOW "ANTHROPOPHAGUS" EDITION), August 28, 2005

By	Anton Ilinski (Moscow, Russia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Finally! "Grim reaper" edition was severely cut, japanize edition was very hard to get and it was rather expensive, latest german or italian editions had technical problems... Now we'll have it as it was supposed to be - and here at Amazon! And rather cheap! Amazing! I've been waiting for this moment for so many years!
Now "Anthropophagus" may not be a masterpiece but it has become a cult classic very long time ago. In the beginning of 80s violence on screen were measured by the standards of "Friday the 13th" and so on. And only Italian filmmakers seemed to dare making something utterly different. They brought gore to the extent when it was really nauseous. In "Anthropophagus" you can see two scenes (one of them is an infamous fetus-eating scene) that are truly disgusting. By the way they were cut from many previous releases of the film. But excepting gore and guts I can say the movie has a really horrific atmosphere - a dreamy one like in many italian horrors. Watching "Anthropophagus" you have a feeling of fear, irreversibility and death - very unpleasant feeling which appears even when everything seems to be calm on screen. I'm pretty confident this is the best work of Joe D'Amato who's known for making cheap exploitative flicks. If you have seen some of them, don't make up your mind about "Anthropophagus" - it's totally different.
If you're in for horror, if you like giallo and such names as Argento, Fulci, Lenzi, Deodato and Bava mean something to you - this movie is for you. I repeat it may not have a big cultural value but you MUST have it on your shelf if you call yourself a horror buff

1.0 out of 5 stars Why Buy?, March 25, 2002

By	Sean Holland "Boy About Town" (Hog City) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Grim Reaper (DVD)

Why would anyone even buy this knowing it's the [terrible], heavily-edited version? This makes me sick. All this talk about "freedom" and a silly 80's horror movie cannot even be viewed by adults. When the un-cut version becomes available, then I'll give 5 stars and purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars finally the cult classic brought to DVD in it's uncut glory!, May 26, 2007

By	Deimos "Rock Fan" (Alberta) - See all my reviews

Alot of disturbing scenes in this great horror flick, and thats what makes it so good and netorious. Nay sayers who don't like blood and guts flicks, ignore their views as they are biased toward the true brillance of this movie. This is a great horror/shocker film that all horror fans will enjoy.
