Programme
Cannibal Ferox (Umberto Lenzi, IT 1981, on 35mm)
In Cannibal Ferox, anthropologist Gloria Davis and her brother Rudy and friend Pat are hiking through the Amazon to prove her theory that cannibalism is a myth. They come across a group of people who have fled New York, and who tell them that crazy native cannibals have murdered their friend...
Cannibal Ferox aka Make Them Die Slowly – an even more apt title – was banned in 31 countries, and is known as one of the most violent, shocking films ever made, full of barbaric, sadistic torture.
Cut and Run (Ruggero Deodato, IT 1985)
Cut and Run swaps much of the flesh-eating for ’80s-style action scenes, based on an unmade screenplay by horror master Wes Craven and made in the twilight of the Italian cannibal film subgenre. Lisa Blount plays a reporter who gets caught in the crossfire between a drugs cartel and a bunch of cannibals.
