Title: So this is Anthropophagus?
Review: Of all the gore-miester, gun-for-hire directors Italy produced in the early 80's, who enjoy a cult following, Joe D'Amato has to be the worst and most undeserving. Anthropophagus is supposed to be one his best, along with equally so-so Beyond The Darkness. Void of style or suspense, all Anthropophagus consists of is a handful of shock kills, and a tedious, nearly incoherent framework to fill out the run time. The ghoul-man is creepy to behold, but few who sit through the whole film are going to walk away feeling fed.D'Amato's films often feature hard-core sex, and he would later focus exclusively on porn, which makes sense when you consider his "money-shot" and filler style of filmaking. Don't get me wrong, some of my best friends are porn films, but my standards for horror are a little higher, and I choose my hacks with greater care.
