Negative Positive
Title: Creepy atmosphere but not much else.
Review: Having just seen Anthropophagus: The Grim Reaper on DVD for the first time, I was hoping for a lot more gore. But I didn't get it. I have no idea why this movie was banned so much. It's not that gory. Even uncut, it isn't that sick or terrifying. Just a little creepy. In fact, the gore scenes that are here are really not that great. Even the one where the ripper rips a fetus from a woman's womb and eats it isn't really all that disturbing. The fetus was just a dead rabbit the producers bought at a butcher's shop. This film had a real bad reputation when it debuted, but, watching it today, I really don't know why. It's no big deal. George Eastman, the guy who played the weird cannibal, moves about like a really slow zombie. Except for his complexion, he's hardly a threat. Or at least, he shouldn't be. The people in the film he catches and kills must be really stupid if they let a slowpoke like him get to them.
