Cannibal World, Gratuitous Nudity and Gore in the Amazon

Any redeeming qualities? Nope.  Gore...nudity...extreme gore while nude...you have been warned.  We also have catfights, babes competing in bikinis, seduction, and gore.  Oh, I said gore again...sorry.  Shot in The Philippines, set in the Amazon jungle, no other film has captured the ethos of Brazil and its people better than 2004's "Cannibal World," directed by Bruno Mattei. Oh, yes...the dubbing makes this a classic Euro-Trash gore-fest.

Grace (Helena Wagner), an info-babe/reporterette is about to have her show cancelled due to falling ratings. The sexpot with a microphone has an idea. Join up with her former lover and colleague in the Amazon and go look for cannibals.  Bob (Claudio Morales) is a hunk and needs dinero, thus he agrees. Also along is the often nude Cindy (Cindy Jelic Matic), and camera guys Ted (Antoine Reboul) and Ricky (Kevin Maxwell). The quintet head into the river and jungle and find natives...just not cannibals.  You know reporterettes...they do fake news well.  With some hearty editing, the TV audience will see cannibals.  Then...to Bob's surprise the cannibals show up. Grace strips her bikini and persuades their Indian guide to take them deep into cannibal territory.

Okay, you can probably guess...the cannibal gore will be extreme, especially with the big breasted nubile natives.  Guts are pulled out.  Heads are cracked open like walnuts and brains pulled out.  I won't go on, but what happens on the screen will cause you to cover your eyes.  Then, Grace, Bob, and crew get stupid.  For ratings purposes they engineer a war.  Now the quintet is on the run from these hungry and angry cannibals.  Nudity and gore will continue.  The big breasted Cindy and Grace will have something else to worry about...as cannibalistic natives are just like horny western thugs.  

Will Bob, Grace, and crew survive the cannibals?  Will Grace and Cindy catfight and passionately make-up with one another?  Will the cannibals spare the big breasted babes for other purposes?  Gory and very gratuitous.  Nudity galore.  You have been warned.  For a prurient film with no redeeming social value, see Bruno Mattei's "Cannibal World."
