While not as well-assembled or brutally shocking as its successor, Cannibal Holocaust, Jungle Holocaust still makes for an exciting, gory trek into the unknown jungle. Of course, it's a sleazy and mean-spirited picture not intended for the easily sickened or easily offended (lik...( read more)
Far tamer than Cannibal Holocaust, Last Cannibal World is better pegged as a jungle adventure thriller (with cannibalism, primitive people's rituals, and an overall harsher and realistic bite than a typical jungle adventure) than exploitation, and it's certainly not a horror.
