Slave of the Cannibal God (1978)

(Foreign Titles)

Nomination Year: 2006

SYNOPSIS: A world-famous explorer disappears in a trek into remote wilderness. His wife organizes a search party to go after him. But from the beginning, it's clear that not only are they marching into danger, but that someone involved has a hidden agenda....

Also of note for those with squeamish stomachs. The director was fond of staging "nature is red in tooth and claw sequences" while in the jungle. Which is a fancy way of saying that none of the animal-on-animal or human-on-animal violence is faked. Animals were distinctly harmed during the making of this film.

"Let's Up The Rating To 'R'"
Gimme a Stake! They tie Ursula Andress to a post, and paint her naked body. Hands up everyone who suspects this was the reason they made the film. Ahem. I said hands up.	Sorry, this clip has not yet been made available!
