10 Outrageous Films That Must Be Seen To Be Believed

“Deep in the jungle the flesheaters are waiting!” lies the tagline. The “jungle” looks more like rural Spain, with footpaths, modern buildings and traffic visible in the background. Thank goodness director “Allan W Steele” (aka Alain Deruelle) splices in so much stock footage to add authenticity.

Anyway, the plot involves a trio of petty crooks who kidnap a young girl and abscond into the jungle where they encounter a group of pale, overweight “natives” who’ve clearly taken grooming lessons from Adam Ant. Escaping their clutches, the crooks seek refuge with an old man whose young wife doesn’t seem to mind too much when one of them ties her to a tree and rapes her.

Apart from some fake-looking gore, the most shocking thing in the entire picture is the amount of recycled and reused footage (see if you can count how many times Deruelle uses the same close-up of a plastic skull). The BBFC disagreed, and the film was unavailable in its uncut form until 2003.
