Nov 18, 2020
An odd mixture of slasher movie, cannibal splatter and sheer existential bleakness results in a very distinctive film; it would probably be much better known if original casting Marlon Brando (playing a degenerate inbred plague-ridden cannibal; would have been an interesting challenge for a Method actor) had been able to participate. As it is, most of the acting is done by Donald Pleasence (who may be trying a bit too hard). Works much harder at creating a dismal, oppressive atmosphere than at actually being scary, though there are a few effective shocks. The cannibals themselves are depicted relatively sympathetically and considerable pathos is generated. Not your typical horror film, but very creepy and unsettling.
