Cannibal Taboo (2008)

- written January 2009

Summary: Janet is a woman raised in the wilds of Africa who is rescued by explorer Cliff Hendricks. But when Cliff contracts a rare blood disease, Janet must leave her jungle ways to care for her husband and their four children. The youngest son, Paul, is about to have his twenty-first birthday and his brother Luke returns home for the celebration. However, since fourth sibling Matthew disappeared on his twenty-first birthday, this one will prove to be just as disturbing!           Overall: Well if nudity was your reason for watching this, you will not be disappointed. I think by the time the film ends, every woman who appears on screen goes fully nude. And in the first 10 minutes, you have 6 different ladies. The film has everything in it…incest, cannibalism and other taboo subjects!           It’s a long movie and could have been cut down and made more concise I think. The fact everything takes place at home, we didn’t need a few of these extraneous scenes. I will say, it’s not that bad. Some nice acting and good effects and of course topless women. And the ending...for a horror movie reviewer who has seen a lot, the ending had me exclaim, “oh that’s different!” So a reason to watch there! The film was better than I was expecting!           Comparison: Texas Chainsaw Massacre meets Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan
