Mr. Skin

"SIRPA LANE INSPIRES MEN TO THE DEPTHS OF DEPRAVITY!"

Product Description

Now Uncut & Uncensored For The First Time Ever In America!

Her name was Sirpa Lane, the succulent Finnish beauty who became an international sex symbol in Roger Vadim's CHARLOTTE, then shocked the world with her inhuman degradation in Walerian Borowczyk's THE BEAST. But perhaps her ultimate cinematic destiny was to star in this tropical sleaze-fest from the notorious Joe D'Amato - director of EMANUELLE AND THE WHITE SLAVE TRADE and ANTHROPOPHAGUS - as a woman who hungrily surrenders to perverse trysts, native vengeance, graphic carnal carnage and much more. Severin Films is shamelessly proud to present PAPAYA fully restored - including the complete Disco Cannibal Blood Orgy sequence - from an Italian vault print seized from the private collection of a jailed magistrate!

2.0 out of 5 stars Only For The Hardest of Hardcore Joe D'Amato Fans, June 26, 2008

By	Charlie Spivey "Gamer" (Richmond VA. U.S.A.) - See all my reviews

I wanted to give this a 2 1/2 star rating but decided to round it down rather than up. First, don't be fooled by the title. There ain't no Cannibals. It is a VooDoo sect in the Dominican Republic. Yep, the same place from which came Erotic Nights of the Living Dead. This is typical Joe and there is plenty of nudity. If rated it would probably get an "R". The editing was sloppy to say the least and it was grainy at times. This might be an OK rental for a one time viewing, but not to own.Unlike some of his other works, the sex is pretty bland and didn't appear to be his main focus, which I find somewhat unusual, all things considered.

4.0 out of 5 stars Delightful horror porn environmental fable, July 1, 2008

By	Tom Watts - See all my reviews

D'Amato's best Caribbean film, with beautiful actresses, quite a witty script and a classic D'Amato mix of animal cruelty (a cock fight!), lesbianism, heart sacrifice and some political humour. Great framing and cinematography too. There's always another D'Amato film to discover, and this one is up there with the best.

4.0 out of 5 stars Papaya: Love Goddess of the Cannibals, July 1, 2008

By	Elliott Monroe "King of Blood and Gore" (Newark, Ohio USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

ok, Papaya, Love Goddess of the Cannibals (1978)
Directed by Joe D'Amato (Anthropophagus and Emanuelle in America).

Ever since I herd that this Joe D'Amato classic was coming out into DVD, I was so excited and couldn't wait!! Released a last week on DVD by Severin (Emanuelle and the White Slave Trade). Now Fully Uncut and Uncensored

Me, like most people owned the VSOM version or the X-Rated Cult DVD - That I thought were uncut?

But, when I received my copy of the Joe D'Amato classic.... I was not very happy!!! The DVD cover design/packaging was great - But, c'mon.... the DVD had Not one single special feature besides a Damn trailer that I could go online if I wanted to watch it!!

Could Severin not get Stelvio Cipriani to do an interview? They at least have put the Damn soundtrack from the film as a Bonus Disc, especially since the movie cost almost $30.

Also, the picture quality of the movie doesn't even look like is remastered! I checked out www.severin-films.com and for some odd reason Jess Franco's Devil Hunter and Bloody Moon, that cost only $17.99 (WTF!!) are remastered and are in High Definition and also include MORE then a Damn trailer as a special feature...they both include rare Jess Franco interviews!! I don't understand???

Well, I've wasted enough of my time talking about this Amazing Joe D'Amato classic. It is a Must have for any Italian,Horror,Joe D'Amato fan! I'd wait til the price goes down.
