4.0 out of 5 stars Decent Jungle Exploit, March 13, 2005

By 

FD (Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Diamonds of Kilimandjaro (DVD)

This is not Jess Franco's greatest work, but it's still entertaining nonetheless. The story is easy to follow and sets itself up very quickly in the beginning of the film.

The English dubbing was done fairly well and was not distracting. The quality of the print was very bad early on in the film, but seemed to improve as it went on. Overall the picture and sound for this Disc are decent quality.

This is only for movie goers that don't analyze every minute detail and just want to watch something in this type of genre. There isn't anything too violent, gory or disturbing in this movie. It's fairly easy to follow and watch. There is a good dose of nudity, which to people familiar with Franco's work, is no surprise. There are also some moments of unintentional laughter which add to this film's charm.

I'm giving it 4 out of 5, but I am a fan of Jess Franco's and have viewed many exploitation and horror films. I'm guessing other reviews will be very much mixed. This should not be your #1 choice if you want to see what Director Franco's work is all about, but still worth at least one viewing experience.

2.0 out of 5 stars For cannibal film fans and Franco completists, September 12, 2006

By 

NoWireHangers (Sweden) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Diamonds of Kilimandjaro (DVD)

This is one of those cannibal movies Franco made in the early 1980s, and if you've seen any of the others, you know what to expect. If you haven't it's your average low budget cannibal movie. Buy this movie if you fall into one of these two categories: A) cannibal movie lovers, or B) Jess Franco completists. It doesn't have much of Franco's trademark directing styles and is not for those who prefer his psychedelic films or his sexploitation movies of the late 60s and early 70s.

4.0 out of 5 stars very fun to watch,, October 12, 2008

This review is from: Diamonds of Kilimandjaro (DVD)

i havent seen to many of jes francos films, the ones i have seen usually dissapoint me. i didnt expect much from this film. i was afraid it would be boring and a pain to sit through. i was very surprised to find this film a very fun b movie. the plot involves a group heading into the jungle to find a dying womans daughter who has become the leader of a savage tribe of cannibals. the group intends to get the daughters inheritence (or something) by leaving her in the jungle (or killing her, dont remember) but the groups macho, do well guide doesnt want any part in this scheme. the plot doesnt hold together very well as the characters intensions seem to change every 10 minutes and nothing very exciting ever happens. the film is nothing more than an excuse to get the 3 lead actresses (and the george eastman look alike) naked and thats fine with me. there isnt any gore or graphic violence except for a breif, non gory decapitation. the whole film has a very bizzare atmosphere due to its strange cast and very psychodelic soundtrack. seriously, the music in this film was great, very strange synthesizer that gives the film a 70's feel. the dubbing is hilarious and it doesnt help that the dialouge is horribly bad. again, this adds to the films cheesy appeal. if you like so bad its good cinema with tons of trashy nudity, funky music and horendous dubbing then give diamonds of kilimandjaro a chance. i had fun with it and you will to, 4/5
