Anthropophagus

It's not fear that tears you apart…it's him!

Anthropophagus is an Italian slasher film from the early 80’s. The movie is about a group of friends on vacation in the Mediterranean. They meet up with a woman who missed her boat to a small exotic island where she was going to spend some time at. The group of friends decide to take the woman to her island and get some sightseeing done in the process. When they arrive at the island, they find out that it has been almost entirely deserted. What they discover is that something has been killing off the island’s inhabitants, and that whatever killed all the villagers may still be on the island. This, my friends is…wait for it…Anthropophagus!

Directed by Joe D’Amato and being on the “Video Nasties” list, I was cringing with delight at the thought of watching this movie. I was unpleasantly surprised to find that it was rather tame. The gore and violence was good, but not extreme. In addition, nudity was scarce (what the hell Joe?).
