It will likely underwhelm horror fans due to bloated expectations, built up over its circuitous, two-year release, and will simply not be understood by critics who don't value exploitation cinema, but, despite the unstellar acting, annoying characters and predictable story arc, I found myself thoroughly enjoying the first true jungle cannibal film made in 30 years. The shock value doesn't come close to the Italian classics, but it still delivers more gore than you should ever expect to see at the strip mall theater down your street. And it has one thing those films never had: a sense of humor. Not recommended for movie critics, but a must-see for those who already know they must see it, and possibly interesting enough for the unsuspecting horror or adventure fan.
