Cannibal
Apocalypse (1980)
Relentless
Action... Brutal Terror... Savage Hunger!
In the jungle, or in the the city, still they must EAT!
The horrors
of war take on a whole new meaning for Vietnam vet Norman
Hopper, whose quiet domestic life in Atlanta is shattered
by the return of Charlie Bukowski, a combat buddy who brings
back the terrifying flashbacks of flesh eating and bloodshed
in the war-torn jungles.
After
escaping from the institution and now on the run from the
law. Charlie begs Norman to help him get out of town with
another fellow veteran, Tom. Soon the ragtag team of cannibals
along with a newly infected nurse are fighting for their lives,
spreading a deadly contagion through the streets of downtown
Atlanta before heading into the sewers for a gut-wrenching
ending. If you can get past the 70's music you're in for a
good movie.
One of
the most infamous Italian horror films, Cannibal Apocalypse
came to America under such titles as Savage
Slaughterers, Hunter of the Apocalypse,
Cannibal Massacre, Invasion of the Flesh Hunters
and many more, before it was labeled a 'Video Nasty' and was
heavily censored or banned all together in its video release
in many countries.
