Massacre in Dino Valley is a special blend of the cannibal and boy's adventure (?!?) genres that shouldn't be missed by fans of Italian exploitation. It's lighter in the gore department than most spaghetti cannibal shockers (and thankfully there's no real life animal mutilation), but it pours on the sex and nudity. We have several rapes (one of which is a nasty lesbian rape that seems pulled straight out of a WIP movie) and a fifteen minute or so stretch when the two main actresses simply stop wearing clothes--that's right, they parade around the jungle nekkid!!! They even paddle around in a canoe with leading man Michael Sopkiw while topless. There's also a crazed Vietnam vet who looks like a poor man's Bo Svenson. There's also a visual Django reference, one goofy fight scene with absurd sound effects, one crazy Italian-style brawl that looks as if it were choreographed by blind midgets, and lots of shooting--and Sopkiw has a sawed-off pump shotgun that looks really fly. Worth owning.

I've seen bad movies in my life and time. I mean really bad stinkers. Some movies you love because they are bad, some movies you want to slam your head against the wall (in comparison to having to watch the movie again). After watching Massacre in Dinosaur Valley and then watching the interview with Michael Sopkiw, I have to say this is a true jewel of a movie--the movie is bad in all the good ways. The action hero of this film, Michael Sopkiw, is someone you enjoy watching moving around, beating the bad guys up, and winning the girls. The women, mind you, are very lovely indeed. The story itself is not really there. I mean really...look at the title of the movie. You watch this kind of film for the pure mindnumbing adventure that leaves you wanting to watch it again and again. The movie itself has a bit of everything. Not really a "Cannibal Inferno" like the label on the DVD case speaks of, I'd say the "cannibal" portion is ... ah...maybe twenty or so minutes (give or take). The movie is really a bit of vignettes--one small story after the next wrapped around a plane crash and a need to get out of the jungles. All in all, I really think that if you enjoy really bad adventure movies, if you are the kind of chap or lass who enjoys watching goofy t&a, good fight scenes where the good guy pulls off the fight against the bad guys at the very end, then you'll enjoy watching this Michael Sopkiw film.

I got this flick as part of a three-pack and wasn't sure what to expect. What a pleasant surprise! Suzanne Carvalho running around in the jungle topless, bondage, kinkiness, girls in peril, fisticuffs, explosions, shooting, Suzanne Carvalho, smart-aleck humor, and Suzanne Carvalho. Too bad she didn't make more flicks.

As with Suzanne Carvalho's other films,this movie is a pure gem. It may be an imported film,but it has a great storyline. The movie tells the tale of a group of people who are interested in visiting Dinosaur Valley,an ancient and exciting jungle. However,the trip becomes a fight for survival as the plane goes down and the survivors must fight for their lives. The deaths are gruesome and the fights are breathtaking,and the special effects are worth every penny. The characters are great,and the action is exciting. It all leads to a deadly showdown between the final survivors and a group of cannibals who want to offer up the women for sacrifice. Gunshots and arrows clash,and many people are killed. This movie is a great Brazillian hit and you'll love it.

My purpose here is to provide a few hints so readers get a descent idea of what to expect from this film. First of all, the film is a simple adventure of survival by a group of men and women, some of which took a flight as they were interested in visiting a forbidden or restricted reserve in the Brazilean jungle. The place was supposed to contain dinosaur fossils and prints. Most of the film takes place after the airplane crushes and survivors have to run for their lives to return to civilization. The film is a typical example of B Italian films of that era (early to mid 1980s), with good and bad guys, good amounts of violence, naked women, and some gore. Now, the film indeed is more about escaping a tribe of cannibals and then a smuggler operating an emerald mine on slavery than a typical cannibal film. Still, you will get one gory cannibalistic scene. Thus, those seeking for stronger, more violent, gorier cannibalistic films will be dissapointed. In my view, the film is entertaining and will be enjoyed by those liking these Italian flicks. Technically, the movie transfer is crisp clear and comes on a nice widescreen presentation. Audio is in English (dubbed) and no subtitles are provided. Extras also include two nice enterviews with Director Michelle Massimo Tarantini, and with American actor Michael Sopkiw.

One note about release titles and total running time: Vipco released this movie in the UK under the title "Cannibal Ferox II" (the only resemblance to Umberto Lenzi' Cannibal Ferox!!) that runs for about 80 min. The back cover of this "Massacre in Dinosaur Valley" release runs over 88 min, yet not by the 98 min informed on the back cover. Now, if you watch the deleted scenes on the extras, these run together for a bit over 10 minutes. I guess that could explain the difference. Still, this version seems more complete than Vipco's.
