Anthropophagus is another "video nasty" about cannibalism, but it isn't set in the rain forrest! It's a bit of a miracle to finally see a different setting. Instead, the movie follows five tourists who visit an island which appears to be deserted, but suddenly their boat is attacked, their sailor has his head ripped off, and one of the tourists is kidnapped. That didn't go well. While exploring the area, the other tourists discover a house where there's a partially chewed up body, which isn't a very good sign. They're trapped on the island now with a mysterious, cannibalistic killer on the loose. There's some stupid relationship drama thrown in there that we don't care about, but the gore is pretty freaking insane. There's actually a scene where the killer reaches up the dress of a pregnant woman, pulls out her unborn fetus, and eats it. Just...why? If you're wondering about the murderer, the last act reveals he's a guy whose family was shipwrecked here, and he was forced to consume his wife and kids for survival. He went crazy after that, but he apparently retained his hunger for human flesh. The guy's death is probably one of the greatest in horror history: he's stabbed in the stomach, his intestines fall out, and he proceeds to eat them. What a way to go out.
