The Horrors of war take on a whole new meaning
for Vietnam vet Norman Hopper, whose domestic life is shattered by the return
of his combat buddy Charlie Bukowski. Charlie and Tom were captured by the
vietenamesse army and thrown into an underground pit to rot.
The get rescued by Norman (played by John Saxon) and are taken back to the
civilized world. Some how, whilst in the jungle, they managed to aquire a
taste for human flesh and are inflickting their canabalistic problem on everybody
they take a bite out of.
Now on the run from the law, after taking a bite from an unwilling victim,
Charlie begs Norman, who now has the taste for human food, to help him and
his old vet pal Tom get out of town. Soon the team of Cannibals are fighting
for their lives and escape to the sewers of the city where the police give
chase. One by one they are picked of and escape seems imposible.
Previously banned a slightly cut version has been released in the U.K. Cannibal
Apocalypse is an interesting cannibal flick which moves away from the Jungle
and into the city streets. The plot is not particulary good but there are
some excellent gore scenes, especially the part where Giovanni Lombardo Raddice
(The House by the Edge of the Park) gets his guts blown clean out. Order it
from amazon.com. Banned in the UK in 82' check the "Banned List"
