Jungle Holocaust 2002 Horror Movie Review

If you are curious about the infamous Spaghetti Cannibal genre then this is the movie to start with.  It’s a real jungle adventure from beginning to end with beautifully weird music.  I would give it five stars if it was possible to watch the movie without the scenes of animal killings.  The interview with the lead actor is painful to watch but worth it for the line “That sheep’s liver was my destiny” (or something like that).  Many people skip this one and go right to Deodato’s other movie in the genre, Cannibal Holocaust.  I don’t really consider that a representative cannibal movie as it is more artistically disturbing and seems to have a deeper meaning about human trust.  Jungle Holocaust is just a fun movie where the cannibals really are cannibals and want to eat you for the same reason you might enjoy a well cooked leg of lamb.  They take even take the time to properly prepare and season their meals.  Buon Appetito!
