aka La montagna del dio cannibale. Mountain of the Cannibal God. Mountain of the Cannibals. Primitive Desires. Prisoner of the Cannibal God. The Mountain of the Cannibal God.Susan Stevenson (Ursula Andress) and her brother are searching for her husband who has disappeared whilst in the New Guinea jungle. They recruit Dr. Foster (Stacy Keach) and whilst trekking in the mountains meet the mysterious Manolo. The native bearers are picked off one by one by dangerous animals, or run away, whilst they make their way through the jungle and back stories are explored.
Somehow the director managed to persuade Ursula Andress to partake in this cheap exploitation flick. Fortunately this being the cut version we are spared much of the gratuitous scenes of animals being killed. Andress get to fall over and act out the damsel in distress as various jungle animals walk near her and finally she is captured by the cannibals where they do the only thing a red blooded male would do - they get her naked and smear her in paint before inducting her in their cannibal ways! For an Italian cannibal film this is an epic, mainly because it includes actors that you've actually heard of. It manages to entertain just enough to keep you watching, but really it's just to see what they manage to get Andress to do next!
