Man from Deep River

One of the better films of this genra. It has a nice, believable story line, stars Ivan Rassimov, a heartthrob, who unfortunately died after just a few films and the stunningly beautiful Me Me Lai. What else can be said? You'll enjoy it if you like this type of movie.

The 2 words every horror fan dreams of "uncut" and "uncensored".The dvd lived up to its reputation.

I liked this movie from beginning to end. The movie is far from perfect but for me was an easy watch and never lost my interest.

At least I had seen this movie before and it is good but not for the faint hearted

Great

Good film, I enjoyed it

good

"The Man from the Deep River" as the credits show, is not what I expected. The box indicates that it is in the vein of all the other Italian cannibal movies. This is not the case as the film is more of a action adventure with little gore or horrific images. Basically, the plot is that a photographer gets stranded in the jungle and is captured by a native tribe. He eventually gains their acceptance and falls in love. He must ultimately decide if he should stay with the tribe or return to civilization. The director is widely known for his gross out movies but this is not really one of them. There are a few scenes of real animal killings and one sequence of cannibalism but other than that, there is nothing going on. Not much to recommend with this film, some good cinematography of the jungle locales, the one cannibalism scene, and that is about all. The DVD sports an interview with director Lenzi that is pretty good. He talks about how his one cannibalism scene was the first in the history of Italian cinema and a few other anecdotes about the movie. Not worth buying (like I did) but perhaps a rental.
