Joe D’Amato’s notorious Antropophagus follows a group of tourists stranded on a remote Greek island, where they fall prey to a grotesque, cannibalistic killer. Mixing Mediterranean Gothic with graphic gore, the film gained infamy on the UK “Video Nasties” list for its shocking scenes of mutilation and cannibalism. Today, it stands as one of the most infamous examples of Italian exploitation horror.

Perhaps the most notorious ‘video nasty’ of all time, ANTHROPOPHAGOUS is back to deprave and corrupt a fresh wave of horror film viewers!

Joe D’Amato cemented himself into genre film history with this slickly directed, and sinisterly suspenseful, creature feature which has some unprepared tourists arriving on a desolate Mediterranean island – only to find themselves stalked by a silent cannibalistic Neanderthal! Featuring gory special effects, that convinced some British moral guardians that ANTHROPOPHAGOUS was a legitimate ‘snuff movie’, there is little doubting that this timeless terror totem still holds up today. Also boasting a cast of genre legends, such as Tisa Farrow (ZOMBIE FLESH EATERS), Zora Kerova (CANNIBAL FEROX) and George Eastman (RABID DOGS), 88 Films is proud to present ANTHROPOPHAGOUS, fully uncut and uncensored, and re-mastered in 4K from the original 16mm Camera Negative.
