LAST CANNIBAL WORLD

THE NORTH AMERICAN UHD PREMIERE

For the first film in his unofficial ‘Cannibal Trilogy,’ director Ruggero Deodato (CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST, HOUSE ON THE EDGE OF THE PARK) delivered a depraved adventure that’s been called “well made and meaty” (Malevolent Dark), “gripping and shocking” (Monster Hunter) and “easily the most savage of the entire genre” (Fantastic Movie Musings), presented in UHD for the first time ever: In a jungle hell that has no pity for man, the survivors of a plane crash are hunted by a primitive tribe with a taste for torment. Massimo Foschi (NINE GUESTS FOR A CRIME), Ivan Rassimov (SACRIFICE!) and Me Me Lai (EATEN ALIVE) star in this ultra-graphic gut-muncher – also known as JUNGLE HOLOCAUST, THE LAST SURVIVOR and CANNIBAL – “that raised the bar in terms of extreme gore and nastiness” (The Worldwide Celluloid Massacre), now scanned in 4K from the original negative with over 2½ hours of Special Features.

What, no Jane/Cordier commentary?

Seriously, though, Ian, I'd love to know how that came about, doing that commentary for the Code Red disc.

Glad to see the shitty UK VHS cover option.

Horace set it up, he basically volunteered us to do the track and we went through Walt to get it done (I had no interaction with Bill on it at all, which is probably for the best). There wasn't really any drama involved or anything.

Any reason you guys didn't do another one? Did you enjoy the process? I've always thought it would be hard work to talk about one movie for at least 90 minutes.

I've done plenty of others since then (mostly Shaw Brothers movies), Horace hasn't simply because, as you say, it is a lot of work, haha. As far as enjoying it, a lot of it depends on the movie. As far as having fun with it, it really depends on the movie (I enjoyed doing the track for Erotic Ghost Story for Imprint recently, as it gave me a chance to talk about something different).

Oh wow, I wasn't aware that you had done other commentaries (most likely due to the fact that I'm not into Shaw Bros martial arts stuff).

Yeah, I've done Black Magic 2 for 88 Films, I've done 11 different ones for various Shout Factory sets and also did the commentary for Jade Tiger on the recent Arrow set in addition to writing the film notes for the book that came with it. so 13 Shaw Tracks in the last year and a half or so. I'm kind of burnt out on Shaw stuff for now, though if I got the opportunity to do commentary work on some of the horror titles, I'd be all over that.

This is my favourite Italian cannibal film but I'm pretty satisfied with my copy with the essential Horace/Ian commentary.

I'll be picking this up. I rewatched my old Media Blasters DVD last summer (it didn't look too hot by today's standards) and thought about getting the BD, but the transfer seemed somewhat DNR'd and I knew there was talk about UHD coming out sooner or later so I decided to wait.

I'm not the world's biggest cannibal fan, but I think this is a pretty good film with a solid sense of adventure.
