5/10
Watchable...

Considering the offerings of this horror subgenre, "Cannibal" or "Ultimo mondo cannibale" isn't unwatchable. It even has more interesting characters than most of these movies (though that's not saying much) and features a solid bromance. Sadly, now comes the part when I tell you that the brightest parts of this movies are whenever we see Me Me Lai's nudity on the screen and very brief nudity of the native woman with big breasts. Cannibals are, as usual for the subgenre, shown to be so primitive that they act like a bunch of monkeys, movie contains a lot of animal violence and it's clearly made for it's shock value rather than to tell a good story. It isn't so bad and boring it's unwatchable, but it for sure isn't what you would call a good movie. At best, it can be decent bit of fun if you are fan of the subgenre. But do keep in mind that this isn't some kind of a hidden gem. While the actors are giving it their best, the movie really doesn't require a lot of brain. For example, in one scene female captive of our main character tries to run away. He catches her and then rapes her. Next scene the music is all nice and romantic and she is bringing him food she found in the jungle. It's simple and crude movie and therefore I recommend it only to subgenre fans. Everybody else, avoid it like a plague. 5.5/10!
