July 4th weekend is upon us. With many Americans getting ready to fire up their grills to consume pounds of their favorite cuts of meat, it seemed a good time to sink our teeth into one of the more taboo sub-genres in horror: cannibalism. There have been handful of American films that dealt directly with cannibalism, but for true human on human munching, your best bet are the Italian "cannibals in the jungle" films released in the '70s and '80s. The most infamous come from the two "cannibal trilogies" of Italian directors Umbert Lenzi and Ruggero Deodato. It was practically a duel between the two directors to see who could put the most repulsive and sleazy images on the screen. ... »

One of the many disadvantages of living in a place like New Hamsphire is that you have to live on the edge vicariously through the lives of people who live closer to the action through correspondence so it was a while before I got into the depths of crazy horror movies. Though I'd been watching horror for years, we never had the convenience of one of those video stores that bought one of everything from their distributors and the horror sections around these parts were woefully understocked. If you wanted to watch A Nightmare on Elm Street 6, you could find it just about anywhere but if you wanted to go out on a limb and see something wildly exotic, you were screwed. Getting your hands on stuff bearing names like Lenzi, D'Amato and Deodato you had to drive into Boston and pay premium prices on factory pre-records and overpriced bootlegs. »
