Devil Hunter/cannibal Terror

I know my 5 star review isn't going to go well with a lot of people, but I keep watching this piece of trash and I'm still not bored of it. It's loaded with nudity, and the entire thing could be described as pure garbage. I like the cheap gore and jungle setting as well as the sleazy grindhouse feel. The music is also pretty awful, but it gives the film a fun crappy type feel to it. It should be noted that the film begins fast with gore and nudity, but then the pace slows up and there's some stuff that some people may find really boring, like people venturing around in the jungle. However, the pace picks up again later on, and then it really starts to dish out the exploitation stuff with lots of full frontal nudity and some cheap but fun gore FX. Sure, the gore FX are cheap and fake but that's the way a lot of fun grindhouse films are. The blonde girl, Ursula Buchfellner, is also really great looking. This is classic trash cinema, and I thought the DVD looks excellent considering it's so low budget; the color is a little faded and the contrast isn't fantastic, but this is a cheap and obscure film. Depending on your taste, you'll probably either love it or hate it.Here's an update. I got both the Severin Blu-ray double feature with CANNIBAL TERROR and DEVIL HUNTER and the slip cover 88 films version that is region free. By far, the 88 one looks much better with the big improvement in contrast and color being very noticeable.

This was purchased for my husband---he enjoyed the movie!

Cannibal Terror has one woman give a full frontal and two other women going topless only. No up close views of any vaginal areas. Devil Hunter has lots of women naked topless and many full frontals. One woman gives a kind of up close view and another woman gives a super up close view of their vaginal areas. All women in both movies have beautiful real breasts and awesome gorgeous hairy vaginal areas.

Fans of "serious" cannibal movies may not find much value in this double feature blu-ray release, as it offers what are probably the two most absurd entries of the genre. Yes, there's plenty of guts on display, at least in Cannibal Terror, but then again, it takes more than a trip to the butcher shop to make a cinematic spectacle.What this release offers instead is a double-dose of low budget, seat-of-the-pants early '80s film-making that can be roughly described as cannibal slapstick. Devil Hunter is the better of the two and has more exploitative content. It gets off to a roaring start, with its first 20 minutes including a nude sacrifice to a cannibal god of sorts, a kidnapping/rape and lots of ritualistic dancing to a funky bongo-driven soundtrack.The flick then transitions into a more conventional action-oriented phase, as a couple of mercenaries square off against a motley band of kidnappers while the movie's lone cannibal -- a tall, dark-skinned freak with protruding blood-streaked eyes -- roves the jungle in search of female flesh.Directed by stoner cinema favorite Jess Franco, Devil Hunter is unevenly paced but delivers the goods (mainly involving female nudity) and features enough of the usual Franco attributes (an exotic locale, interesting sound design and music, and inventive camera work) to entertain his fans. At 100 minutes long, it would have benefited from some trimming of the dull parts but one can always accomplish that manually with the fast-forward button.Cannibal Terror, meanwhile, has apparently earned something of a distinction for being the worst cannibal movie ever made. And Franco can share part of the credit for that, as some of the ridiculous cannibal scenes were lifted from his other genre foray, Cannibals, which was produced by the same studio.Actually, Cannibal Terror has a breezy pace, dishy actresses, an interesting soundtrack and as much bottom-scraping charm as any Something Weird Video release. What really makes this one a bit of a dud is its lack of exploitation assets. Nudity is minimal, though at one point there is a spirited (but fully-clothed) rape scene. Gore is limited to a brief knife-entering-flesh shot, some corpse remnants and overlong scenes of goofy-looking cannibals chowing on the aforementioned butcher shop cast-offs.Both of these flicks succeed in being entertaining up to a point, and that point is about half-way through the running time in each case. After that, whatever off-kilter comedic appeal that's been mustered progressively wears thin, though Devil Hunter benefits from revisiting the naked dancer/cannibal sect drumming meme in its latter phase. Ultimately, the disc commands something near its asking price as the cheap thrills of the two movies together add up to a solid couple of hours of fun.It helps that the blu-ray image quality is stellar in both movies, with Cannibal Terror looking particularly clear and color-rich. Devil Hunter boasts astonishing image clarity (especially for a Franco flick) but its color scheme is somewhat muted, with many scenes almost looking as if they were filmed through a sunglasses lens. It's still an eye-pleasing rendition, however, and otherwise flawless.The upshot: These two flicks are far from ideal, even by low budget exploitation standards, but taken together they drum up enough of a cannibal-themed groove to put, if not a smile, then a grin on the face of the intrepid explorer of the celluloid jungle's lower reaches.

Its a classic horror movie!!

What can I say about this Franco movie. It's a Franco movie. Don't expect much out of it except close up shots of pubic hair, not much, but enough. A very hot blond girl who is pretty much naked throughout the whole movie (only thing I realy liked about it) other than the final battle with bugged eyed cannibal man. That was fun. I realy hated and was annoyed with the sounds that came out of the cannibal. It was so bad everytime, very frequent, it happened I had to turn down the volume. Very bad use of fake blood. Looked like paint. Did I say the only thing good about this is the hot blond, there is another naked girl who you are introduced to later on in the movie that is very cute as well and looks great naked, and the final battle is entertaining. The bugged eyed cannibal sucks. Don't these people realize that if you want to fight off this cannibal dude, poke him in the eye. It's not like his bug eyes are small, they are big targets. Stupid acting, stupid gore, stupid use of sound effects. Stupid movie, but the girls are hot and naked alot.

This movie explores a new dimension of human sexuality: the call of the jungle. It is a combination of Tarzan and the call of the wild with full nudity and erotic adventure. There is some gore in the movie, virgin sacrifice and a mild cannibal scene but mostly is about showing the beauty of Ursula Buchfellner. The nude scenes with Ursula are quite creative and she is one of the most beautiful actresses I have seen. At the end things work for the good guys. I strongly recommend this movie for somebody who is exploring a different kind of cinema one that takes you out of the common and boring movies scenes we see now of urban sex and violence. I give this movie 5 stars for its creativity, originality and for Ursula.

What an awful piece of crap..but watchable.in a sick way...naked zombie cannibal..a first..

Jess Franco, à la filmographie pléthorique et confuse, a fait mieux que ce petit film à peine digne des aventures de SAS Ces sauvages qui mâchonnent des bouts de mous pour chats avec des yeux hagards, comme de vrais cannibales, un totem des plus risible , sculpture digne des tikis des plages du littoral pour indiquer le night club, des héros moustachus, avec des têtes de baroudeurs ou de salopards du cru, c'est selon, et le mieux ce sont ces filles plus ou moins dénudées, à la taille mannequin, un peu trop "filles de magazine", et malheureusement d'un érotisme tellement lisse qu'on s'ennuie un peu en les regardant. Bref du cinéma éroto-soft des années 70, sans intérêt, qui pallie le manque d'ambition avec des effets de zoom répétitifs, une musique au mètre, une photo trop éclairée, des paysages "Club Med".... Les Jess Franco bon crû sont peut être à chercher du coté des films avec Lina Romay, ou des petites productions en noir et blanc des années 60. Dans ce genre de sujet, "la montagne du Dieu Cannibale" avec Ursula Andress, reste ce qu'il y a de mieux dans le genre (je dis bien "dans le genre")

Un gruppo di delinquenti rapisce un'attrice per chiedere un enorme riscatto. Come loro nascondiglio e luogo dello scambio decidono un'isola, isola sulla quale vive una tribù di cannibali (luoghi più tranquilli evidentemente non ne conoscevano). Un uomo che sa il fatto suo ed un suo amico vengono ingaggiati per salvare la ragazza. Naturalmente le cose non vanno secondo i piani di nessuno (né dei rapitori e né dei salvatori) a causa dell'intromissione dei cannibali, soprattutto del loro "dio", un uomo nudo con gli occhi fuori dalla testa (letteralmente).Cannibal movie un po' diverso dagli altri, con un pizzico di sovrannaturale. Non esageratamente splatter e con nudità integrali (sia maschili che femminili), ma perfettamente inerenti nel contesto.Consigliato.Attenzione. In realtà questa edizione ha il parlato solo inglese e francese. I sottotitoli, solo in inglese, sono inspiegabilmente selezionabili solo con l'audio francese.

I have nothing but praise and compliments this version of Devil Hunter from 88 Films, which beats the recent USA Blu-ray release by simple means of their excellent picture grading of the admittedly badly exposed original material and whatever vault elements they could muster.Fan boys have attacked some of my past reviews of some 88 Films, so here is clear demonstration that I call out quality when it is delivered.Personal grudges by some of their contributors against me go back two decades, but I am happy to laugh it all off and sit on my very high horse.If 88 Films are reading this and would kindly take a suggestion, how about a Blu-ray of Jess Franco's 'Faceless' - unless this is already in the works with someone else?

カニバリズム物７-８本見たことがありますが　これが一番おもしろくなかったです。特に１本目、ストーリー展開も　辻褄が　あわないですし、カニバリズム物特有のシーンも　他の多くの作品と大差ないです。２本目は　１本目よりも若干ましでで　評価★３つくらいかなと思えました。あくまで個人的な感想ですが　他の先品を先に見るほうがいいと思います。追記２本目は　人喰い魔人　裸女狩り　というタイトルで　国内で発売されている物と　同じ物のようです。

... edizione per questo film di Jess Franco.Sulla falsariga di "Cannibal Holocaust" e con location esotiche, sangue e frattaglie varie oltre a un bel po' di belle (e sensuali) ragazze come mamma le ha fatte a go-go, rendono questo film un vero must-have per i fan del Maestro.Consigliato a chi ama questo genere di film sexy-horror...
