Very best movie i ever watch

Let's be realistic.

Awesome Movie

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

"Cannibal Apocalypse" is a tedious, pointless waste of time that offers no apocalypse and barely any cannibalism.In fact it is barely even a horror movie: there's only one scene late in the movie that registers as a possible source of tension and the violence is actually really minimal.The movie is something about a group of Vietnam vets getting a disease that makes them cannibals. The character played by John Saxon is a vet who may be going psycho himself. There is an interminable sequence early in the movie where one of these crazy veterans - named Charles Bukowski(?) - is holed up in a store he tried to rob shooting at police. So the disease makes you eat people, but also try to rob stores?The movie has this oddly distancing feeling to it. Saxon being the hero who may also be about to join the bad guys should be a source of dramatic tension, but is not explored. The movie is more like long, tedious shots of a city with the odd violent moment thrown in.

In this Italian horror classic, the war in 'Nam drove some people so mad they turn into cannibals. Like rabies, cannibalism is contracted through a bite and spread to others. This is a great premise for a horror film I think, but sold somewhat short due to inconsistent storytelling and a low budget. Even so director Antonio Marghetiti made an interesting and entertaining horror flick. Mostly a horrific post war cannibal movie, there is a good deal of action here also. John Saxon is the lead and gives a very, grim, somber performance. Frequent Italian horror actor Giovanni Lombardo Radice is cool here also as crazed vet ''Charles Bukowski". Although very controversial for the time for gore and violence other cannibal movies like Cannibal Holocaust and Cannibal Ferox are way more nasty then this. I would say this has much more in common with Dawn Of The Dead and Rabid, but with less money and less talent than George Romero and David Cronenberg. In summary Cannibal Apocalpse is a flawed ,but original war/horror flick. Cool movie in my opinion.

On a rescue mission in Vietnam, Norman Hopper (John Saxon) is bitten by two of his old drinking buddies Charlie (Giovanni Lombardo Radice) and Tom (Tony King) who are trapped in a pit and are feasting on the flesh of a charred Vietnamese woman when they are discovered. Back home, Norman is haunted by his memories, and has a strange urge to bite people. Charlie calls Norman after recently being released from hospital and wants to meet up, but before Norman can act, Charlie manages to kill some people and finds himself cornered and barricaded in a mall. Soon enough, more people are infected with this strange virus that seems to cause cannibalistic urges.Another cannibal/zombie cash-in that was riding the wave caused by Lucio Fulci's Zombie Flesh Eaters (1979) and George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead (1978), Cannibal Apocalypse attempts to blend the two horror sub- genre's but ends up being a bit of a mess. I never thought I would say this, but there is too little cannibalism, and certainly no apocalypse. There are brief moments of horror surrounded by long moments of police procedural and our flesh-hungry heroes running through sewers. The one saving grace is John Saxon, recognisable from many B-movie turd-fests, he provides a welcome familiar American face in this mainly Italian production from horror and western 'legend' Antonio Margheriti. Yet the film is entertaining enough to waste 90 minutes of your life on, and thankfully avoids being as unpleasant as other cannibal entries such as Cannibal Ferox (1981 - also starring Radice).www.the-wrath-of-blog.blogspot.com

John Saxon seems to be having all sorts of problems. One, he's having flashbacks to Vietnam, where he witnesses two of his men chowing down on somebody before biting him, and two: his teenage neighbour is coming on strong but all John has is an urge to bit her. Nevertheless, he trying to cope, until one of his buddies gets released from the loony bin and starts biting folk in a cinema.Cannibal Apocalypse, on the surface, appears to be your usual Italian gut muncher, what with all the gore and what not, but what is it I detect underneath? Could that be Social Commentary? The Vietnam vets in this film (well, the two who aren't complete raving lunatics) seem to drift through their world on a wave of indifference and hostility; John Saxon's character is misunderstood - his wife conspires behind his back with a love rival, and Giovanni Radice's Charlie can barely comprehend anything that's going on around him. Wouldn't we all just go a bit insane and go on a murderous rampage? The answer is: I watch too many of these films.Cannibal Apocalypse moves at a slightly slower pace than it's contemporaries, but Antonio ain't no fool. I've never seen a film by him that even approaches bad. Saxon and Radice both play their parts well, Saxon as an introverted, troubled man and Radice as a guy who is completely out of place in post Nam America. For those who just like to get drunk and watch blood fly, there's plenty of that here too. It's just that this time there's a little genuine drama in the mix too.
