Jungle Holocaust is a classic of the genre.
Ruggero Deodato's first foray into cannibal land is a really well done piece of violent adventure exploitation cinema Italian style. A plane crashes on a runway in a jungle clearing leaving the occupants stranded for the night. One of them gets picked off by cannibals when they leave the safety of the plane to take a leak. When morning comes they go to search for the first victim only to become lost. All types of awful stuff happens: ants reduce a tied up natives arm to bone and gristle, liver extraction and devourment, entrail removal and subsequent filling of the hollow cavity with hot stones for proper cooking, decapitation, animal mutilation, etc. Good cast with: Massimo Foschi, Ivan Rasimov,and Me Me Lai. Considering this film was shot entirely on location in the jungle on the island of Mindanao, Malaysia it is exceptionally well crafted. One of the best of this type.score 10/10
