Customer Reviews of Slave of the Cannibal God

The cannibal genre exposed!
Mountain of the Cannibal God, is basic, exploitation/sexploitation cannibal fare. It is an interesting story of sexy Ursula Andress, looking for her lost husband, and a trip she takes into the Amazon to find him, and the Uranium he was originally looking for. The safari party is eventually captured on the mountain (more like a cavern) by said cannibals, and Ursula is turned into a goddess, while the cannibals feast on human and reptile flesh. In this uncut version, there is a scene of sexual depravity on the first night of Ursula's capture that must be seen to be believed. First, Ursula is stripped, tied up, and sensuously painted by two native girls. Then we cut to a scene of a woman mastrubating while a native rapes a pig? Okay, I didnt write this stuff, I am only reviewing the film. Not exactly my cup of tea, I would have rather seen a love scene between Ursula and the male lead, but thats just me. Still, with a title like MOTCG, one cannot expect the memoirs of Emily Post.

Complete version of a B-movie classic..
Let me start off by saying that I first saw this film many, many years ago. As a kid, I was blessed to have access to a tv station that held weekly horror and b-movie marathons, presenting many controversial films such as this one uncut and uncensored. So it was with fond memories that I sat down to watch this DVD that once again Anchor Bay has done a fine job with.
This film has been circulating with many different titles containing many different edits for several years known alternatively as Prisoner of the Cannibal God, Slave of the Cannibal God and Mountain of the Cannibal God. For hardcore cinephiles be advised that this is the most complete print containing many shocking scenes that were previously excised. This print is a full four minutes longer than the Slave of the Cannibal God print.
Now onto the film itself, I must agree with the majority of viewers in that I find the animal cruelty despicable and reprehensible, however even the most casual viewer of italian cannibal films knows that this is an unfortunate staple of these films starting with Umberto Lenzi's and Ruggero Deodato's epic cannibal films. Once you get past the horrible animal scenes in this film, you are left with a nicely crafted and reasonably well acted film that benefits greatly from the wonderful cinematography and exotic locales of Sri Lanka.
Though slow at times, the characters are interesting especially Andress and Keach, there is a good deal of action and intrigue and the gore and nudity is plentiful, though not as graphic as the softcore cannibal film Emmanuelle and the Last Cannibals. This film is certainly more enjoyable and watchable than bottom of the barrel trash like Cannibal Ferox and Eaten Alive.
The plot is simple enough: A beautiful young woman is escorted through the jungles to search for her missing and presumed dead husband, instead the search party encounters a vicious cannibal clan long thought to be extinct.
Again, I must reiterate that these films are an acquired taste but for someone looking for a good, gory and somewhat sleazy b-movie this just might fit the bill.
Anchor Bay presents this film letterboxed with theatrical trailer, photo gallery and a documentary with the director reminiscing about his film and its stars.

Worst Movie Ever?
What can I say about this movie?!? A rescue team sets out to find a woman's (Ursula Andress) husband. They spend most of the movie getting to a mountain top where her husband disappeared. Most of the rescue team is killed before they arrive (even Stacy Keach). Ursula Andress is stripped and covered with some red stuff (dye, blood, dead husband's goo??...who knows). Ursula escapes with the sole surviving man and they float down the river.

No gruesome deaths (except perhaps a snake's). No real story line. And definately, no acting ability used in this film. It had NO redeeming qualities what-so-ever (unless you really want to see Ursula naked). Wish I could have given it no stars!
