Cannibal Ferox

Cannibal Ferox (1981) is an Italian exploitation horror you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Umberto Lenzi and starring Giovanni Lombardo Radice and Lorraine De Selle. Three anthropology students head into the Amazon to gather evidence that cannibalism is a myth. Deep in the jungle they cross paths with Mike, a sadistic criminal who has already spent weeks torturing and enslaving a local tribe while hunting for emeralds.

The tribe has kept score. What follows is their answer.

Lenzi made this as a direct competitor to Ruggero Deodato's Cannibal Holocaust — both films came out of the same cycle of late-1970s and early-1980s Italian jungle horror. Cannibal Ferox landed on banned lists in over thirty countries and circulated for years in bootleg cuts. It remains one of the genre's most extreme entries and a fixed reference point for anyone tracing the history of exploitation cinema. Watch Cannibal Ferox (1981) online on iFILM.
