Reviewed on 2008-05-05 Very tasty little snack Another 70's cannibal flick, this is much better than expected. You've got the hot, scantily-clad Ursula Andress and her crew on a quest through the jungles of New Guinea. They get ambushed by some blood thirsty savages of course. This tribe looks extremely heinous. Their masks are what really stood out for me in this movie--some dirty, potato sack looking bags with holes cut out for the eyes. Freaky! When the maniacal tribe leader sees Ursula, he might develop a different kind of hunger. You've got all your basic cannibal flick essentials--blood, gore, decapitations, nudity, violence with animals. The acting and dialogue are good enough not to hamper the story. It may not be extremely original, but hey, if it ain't broke...

Reviewed on 2008-02-11 Go Tell It On The Mountain Like many Italian directors, Sergio Martino was a genre jumper, having directed such multi Oscar winning films like Torso, Mannaja, Your Vice Is A Locked Room And Only I Have The key, 2019: After the Fall of New York and The Big Alligator River. Tis only natural he'd take a crack at the popular cannibal movie craze. Mountain of the Cannibal God isn't the best the subgenre has to offer, but it isn't the worst, and like Judas Priest, it delivers the goods. It follows a small group roaming around an island on a search for a supposedly cursed mountain. Stacy Keach, Claudio Cassinelli, Ursula Andress, Andress' snooty brother and a few natives are the victims...er...explorers. Each has their own reasons for wanting to find the mountain, but the whole expedition begins when Ursula lands in New Guinea and requests Keach's help to find her husband who has been missing in the jungle for the past few months. But is she really on the up and up? Of course she isn't, or else I wouldn't have asked that dumb question. Much of the film is spent trekking and trudging through the jungle and overcoming various perils which include bickering, snakes, alligators, stock footage, waterfalls, cannibal attacks and booby traps(of all kinds, if you catch my drift). There's little bits of gore sprinkled throughout, but the real cannibal carnage doesn't actually begin until the last half hour or so of the film. Some might find this kinda boring and disappointing, but honestly I was never bored. Once we get to the mountain and meet the feared tribe, things do get pretty messed up. Not on a Cannibal Holocaust level or anything, but enough to keep your eyes glued to the screen. There's one shot during a kind of mini orgy that is definitely original and will probably stick in your mind for awhile. Believe me, you'll know it when you see it, and damn if it's not funny! Really, it's not a bad film at all if you're into this sort of thing. It is viewed by many fans as one of the lesser films in the genre, but I've definitely seen much worse. I like it quite a bit actually. One thing you shouldn't miss out on is the 13 minute interview with Sergio Martino. Talk about funny! Most of it is straightforward talk of the film, but the documentary catches him in not one, but two blatant lies! The first involves a scene of animal snuff(prevalent to Italian jungle movies of the time). The scene was of a snake with a monkey in it's mouth(a rather sad image when you see it in the film). Martino makes it sound as though it was just an unfortunate accident and coincidence that that particular shot was filmed. However, the documentary shows you how a bad optical trick was used to cover up the shot of a person shoving the monkey into the snake's mouth!! Martino also mentions how there were no erotic images in the film, and that statement is immediately followed by a rapid fire montage of all of the nude/sex scenes in the film. This is really funny and makes Martino look either like a man who's lost his memory or a really bad liar. If you like the cannibal stuff, then you should have a good time with Mountain Of The Cannibal God.

Reviewed on 2007-10-06 Enjoyable Italian cannibal romp. A woman (Ursula Andress) and her doctor friend (Stacy Keach) with a crew head into the jungles of New Guiena in search of her missing husband. While they explore the jungle, they discover a tribe of wild cannibals that want them all for dinner at the mysterious mountain of Ra-Rami to appease the cannibal god. Violent and sleazy Italian horror adventure movie in the tradition of "Indiana Jones" but pre-dates that and from the director of "Torso" Sergio Martino. The acting is above average and the storyline is a bit paperthin but this is a shocking movie about cannibalism especially with gory scenes like castration, flesh-eating and of course scenes of animals actually getting killed such as a lizard getting gutted while it's alive and a Monkey being devoured as it screams in a Anaconda's mouth, definitely not stuff for animal lovers. Ms. Andress whom you might know from some James Bond movies and a few issues of 70's Playboy magazines is quite attractive in this movie, this isn't a film for the squeamish but it's very enjoyable. The DVD here from Anchor Bay which Blue Underground is re-issuing this november contains a very good widescreen transfer with good sound and some nice extras like an interview with the director, trailer, bios and Poster-and-still gallery.

Reviewed on 2006-02-01 MARGINALLY INTERESTING WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY First I should say that the copy of this movie I received had a defective soundtrack which in parts was all but inaudible. That aside, if the movie was worth keeping I might have tried to get a replacement. I didn't bother. Italian movies are usually very well made, regardless of budget and genre. Parts of this film meet that standard, but overall it is a mess. Eighty percent of the plot consists of people hiking through jungle or wading through rapids, occasionally pausing to react to intercut scenes of nature's cruelty: crocs eating lizards, lizards eating snakes, snakes eating monkeys or birds. My guess is that the perverse nature footage was secured first, and the rest of the movie was written around it. Although it may have been shocking and explicit for its time, there are more thrills to be found any night on the Discovery Channel than in this flick. Thankfully, Ursula Andress has a mighty fine body, and a lovely face which provides most of the production value for the first two acts. Stacy Keach must have split the lions share of the budget with her, he obviously didn't do it for the prestige. There are several decent EFX scenes, mostly body parts being lopped off, but aside from a few brief and ineffective shocks, there is no suspense or real drama of any kind. Although some interesting music is used in some sections, to describe it as a score would be too kind. Instead, it seems to float along on a parallel track, with little connection to the pace of the editing or the onscreen visuals. At its worse, it is a kind of empty-headed elevator music. The most frustrating thing is that this could have been a cult classic, if only the script and the editing had been worked a little harder. The cannibals look cool, and the locations are beautiful. Had the repulsive displays of animal cruelty been the starting point, rather than the most dramatic elements of this production, it could have been a kick ass film.
