Man From Deep River (Blu-ray) Blu Ray – Prasitsak Singhara Ivan Rassimov , Me Me Lai

Cannibal horror directed by Umberto Lenzi. Fleeing from underworld justice, photojournalist John Bradley (Ivan Rassimov) takes to the jungle where he goes native and finds love. However, it turns out that this comes with a high price when he finds that he is living with natives who are not only prized for their women but also for their potential as food stock…

So shocking that to this day the British censors insist on culling some of the film’s use of live animal ‘performers’ THE MAN FROM DEEP RIVER instigated the entire Italian cannibal movie trend. Indeed long before CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST attempted its own blend of bloodshed and authority-upsetting horror THE MAN FROM DEEP RIVER was carving out an influential and important path of its own. Directed by Umberto Lenzi who later oversaw the arterial-gushing gore of CANNIBAL FEROX and EATEN ALIVE THE MAN FROM DEEP RIVER introduces us to a British expat (essayed by genre veteran Ivan Rassimov) who gets into some bar-brawling trouble in Bangkok and flees to the Burmese border. Unfortunately once there he is captured by a primitive tribe who do not take too kindly to trespassers. On the plus side though at least he has the lovely tribal babe Me Me Lai (LAST CANNIBAL WORLD) to keep him company… but will their ‘forbidden’ love meet with further flesh-filleting fear? Filled with sicko-splatter sequences of torture and terror THE MAN FROM DEEP RIVER was an original UK Video Nasty – and it returns to British shelves in sanguine-splashed HD for a very special 88 Films edition!
