***SURPRISE ANNOUNCEMENT***

THE MOUNTAIN OF THE CANNIBAL GOD

Release date: 7 May 2018
Format: Blu-ray and DVD

Sergio Martino (director of All The Colours Of The Dark, The Strange Vice of Mrs Wardh, Torso) invites you on the trip of a lifetime to THE MOUNTAIN OF THE CANNIBAL GOD, for sun, wildlife and…flesh munching natives! You might just never come home…

Ursula Andress (The 10th Victim, The Nurse) travels to the New Guinea jungle in search of her scientist husband who's vanished in the untamed Green Inferno. Soon the giant spiders, killer crocs and deadly snakes bare their teeth as her exploration party, lead by cult-fave Stacy Keach, journeys towards the sacred mountain of Ra Ra Me. There, the Cannibal God waits to enslave her in an orgiastic climax of frenzied flesh-eating… and bestial barbarity!

Banned as a 'video nasty', this entirely new widescreen release features previously unseen footage (of sex and gore) and is the longest ever UK version. Get ready, as Shameless serve up the world's first 2K restoration of this ferocious exploitation treat, to be devoured in all its blood-soaked glory!

'Longest ever UK version' doesn't mean uncut, however.

Pretty sure the pig made it through the BBFC,
Look at the blurb "This Cannibal Movie includes A Satisfied Pig".

Anyone see Shameless' FB post regarding the animal scenes?

Naturally, we've been following the recent discussions about MOUNTAIN OF THE CANNIBAL GOD. At Shameless, we are proud of presenting you with all the gore and sex you could possibly want but we do refuse gratuitous animal cruelty. We are determined not only to source the best possible materials for the films we publish, but also the closest possible version to the director's original or the filmmaker's preferred vision of the film.
In the case of 'Cannibal' movies, which mostly arrive with a plate-full of prejudices, we needed to find a compromise to these diametrically opposed notions: maxing the gore, not shying from explicitness whilst minimising the vision of animal cruelty (appalling yet unfortunately already committed to celluloid).
In the case of the most famous Cannibal film of them all, Ruggero Deodato made his first and still only unique re-edit of CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST expressly and exclusively for Shameless to tone down the animal cruelty from the film.
Similarly, Sergio Martino shares our concern and supports the editing of the work in order not to pander to exploitative and unnecessary violence against animals. Originally, sadly, due to production commercial obligations, it was believed this type of extreme animal cruelty would generate more interest and sales… Martino explains more in the extra on our Blu-ray. We hope you'll join us in appreciating the wild, weird and gory world of Martino's MOUNTAIN OF THE CANNIBAL GOD (minus the gratuitous animal cruelty.)…oh and by the way, THAT pig scene is still definitely in there!

Talk about them putting a spin on it. The BBFC cut the thing, not Shameless. They may have pre cut it (I seriously doubt this), but the BBFC axed two minutes from whatever was submitted to them.

Animal cruelty or not, this is one of the weakest cannibal movies anyway.

Yes, the first - which is hideous, IMO - is new.
