Last Cannibal World

Last Cannibal World (Ultimo mondo cannibale, 1977) is an Italian horror film by Ruggero Deodato that you can watch online on iFILM. Oil prospector Robert Harper (Massimo Foschi) survives a crash deep in the jungle and finds himself alone in a place where time seems frozen in the Stone Age.

Before long a primitive cannibal tribe takes him captive. Stripped, caged and reduced to an animal, he scratches for any way out — and for the partner who vanished with their plane. Ivan Rassimov and Me Me Lai play the figures who decide whether he ever walks out of that forest. The film ramps up its brutality scene by scene and spares the viewer nothing: this is unapologetic 1970s European exploitation horror, not for the squeamish.

Deodato made this three years before his notorious Cannibal Holocaust, and a lot of that later landmark was rehearsed right here — the faux-documentary jungle camerawork, the survival-at-any-cost spine, the shock for shock's sake. For fans of grimy Italian genre cinema its historical weight matters more than any tidy plot. Stream Last Cannibal World (1977) online on iFILM.
