\nA cannibal-movie that actually tries and succeeds to be different. This movie transcends the cannibal genre and becomes something else. You’ll have to get past the silly & inept Vietnam opening-scene, but then this movie turns into an urban tale of virus-outbreak. A cannibal-virus, that is. There’s some violence, there’s some drama, there’s some nudity, there’s some very nice gore and there are four cannibal-fugitives on the run. Awesome mixture that works! Add to that a satisfying ending, and we’ve got a hit! A hit with John Saxon in it, no less. “Cannibal Apocalypse” indeed feels, at times, a bit like Romero’s “Dawn of the Dead” (1978), but the one movie that kept coming to my mind was David Cronenberg’s “Rabid” (1977). So if you’re tired of all those “half naked cannibals eating human flesh and slaughtering animals in the jungle”-flicks, and if Umberto Lenzi’s “Nightmare City” (1980) just made you laugh instead of anything else, then go watch Antonio Margheriti’s “Cannibal Apocalypse” (aka “Invasion of the Flesh Hunters”). And make 100% sure you get a hold of the uncut version.<\/p>\n
