DVD Reviews of Jungle Horrors Triple FeatureDVD Review: at the bottom of the food chain . . . Summary: 4 Stars
The Jungle Horrors Triple Feature, packaged by Shriek Show, includes three films featuring some pretty horrific jungle encounters, cannibalism, nudity, exploitation, and violence, in one very economical package. Products of Italian studios, the titles included are Jungle Holocaust (aka Last Cannibal World) (1977), Eaten Alive (Mangiati Vivi) (1980), and Massacre in Dinosaur Valley (Nudo e Selvaggio) (1985).
Filmed in Malaysia and apparent based on actual events on the island of Mindanao, Jungle Holocaust is chilling look at civilized man's encounter with aboriginal natives. Landing deep in the jungle, the passengers of a small plane fall victim to the natives. One of the survivors is captured, experiencing the abject terror of being at the mercy of a large tribe of savage natives. The prisoner (Mossimo Forschi) is taken to a huge cave, tied to a rock, stripped naked, yanked high in the air, and then imprisoned. After killing some natives, the prisoner escapes from the cave along with one of the native women (Me Me Lai), making a desperate bid for freedom. Harper will find that to survive, he will descend down close to the level of his pursuers. The DVD has some nice extras, including a commentary track by director Ruggero Deodao (in Italian, but with subtitles).
Eaten Alive is a mind-numbing fantasy adventure set in the jungles of New Guinea, involving cannibals, and a religious cult, similar to that in Jonestown, Guyana. A woman (Janet Agren) travels to New Guinea, in search of her lost sister (Paola Senatore). Upon arrival, she enlists the help of adventurer (Robert Kerman) to act as a guide. The ill prepared pair head into the jungle, and locate the missing sister living at religious sanctuary deep in the wilds. The group is ruled by a charismatic leader (Ivan Rassimov), who keeps his subjects under control through the use of religion, intimidation, and drugs. The jungle is infested with cannibals, who make escape from the village nearly impossible. Enlisting the help of a native woman (Me Me Lai), the outsiders flee the village, and make their way through the cannibal infested forest.
Massacre in Dinosaur Valley, is a quirky, B-movie, jungle adventure, set in Brazil, with fierce natives, beautiful women, gratuitous nudity, violence and gore, evil miners, and a couple of exciting action sequences. Kevin Hall (Michael Sopkiw) collects fossilized dinosaur bones, and wrangles his way on a fight headed for the Valley of the Dinosaur, hoping to find some new samples. Among the passengers is a prominent paleontologist, and his gorgeous daughter Eva (Suzane Carvalho). Tragedy strikes when the plane crashes, killing the professor and several others. Deep in the jungle, with unfriendly natives closing in, the survivors head out in an attempt to get back to civilization. Very exploitive and trashy, but still an entertaining time. Image and sound quality are quite good. Extras include Michael Sopkiw commentary track, deleted scenes, and a subtitled interview with director Michele Massimo Tarantini.
Jungle Holocaust (3 stars), and Eaten Alive (2 stars) fall into the cannibal film category, while Massacre in Dinosaur Valley (3 stars), is more of an exploitive action adventure. The collection gets four stars, not because these films are of particularly high merit, but mainly because of value. The cost of the Triple Feature is the same as or even less than, any of the individual titles, so if you are interested in one of the movies, you might as well get them all. Chances are, if you like one, the others may also be of interest.
