Cannibal Terror (1980)

How bad is it? It's sometimes called the worst cannibal movie, which is saying something.
Should you see it? No. The one joke is the "savages," seen below. I just saved you a viewing.

This  film gets mixed up with a Jess Franco film with similar cast, title and storyline (and which also isn't good), but was made by the same people who made "Zombie Lake," which is among the worst zombie movies. The film starts out as a kidnapping story that has one funny scene when a guy gets baffled by whether a door is a "pull" or a "push." You wonder when the cannibals are coming. They take the kidnapped girl to the jungle (somewhere in a conservatory in Paris, from the looks of it), when they finally encounter the cannibals - the least convincing cannibals in film - caucasians, make-up that stops at their neck, side-burns, comb-overs, potbellies. They dance. They eat pig entrails. They dance again. They threaten. They dance again. Not much happens after that.
