Somewhere deep within the dense, foreboding jungles of New Guinea, an anthropologist on assignment has mysteriously vanished. It has been three months since his wife Susan Stevenson (Ursula Andress) has heard from her husband, and so, with the help of her brother Arthur (Antonio Marsina), the pair goes in search of him. Once in New Guinea, Susan and Arthur encounter Dr. Edward Foster (Stacy Keach), who agrees to lead a search party. But as the group treks deeper into the jungle, the dangers that befall them become more and more threatening. As they encounter the forest's most dangerous inhabitants, the rescue team quickly begins to dwindle in number. And just as the group appears to be closer to finding the missing anthropologist, a Stone Age tribe that was thought to be extinct, captures them. The group is terrified of their fate, but when Dr. Foster reveals that the tribe practices cannibalism, blind terror becomes sheer horror. But nothing can prepare them for the truth of Dr. Stevenson's fate - and if they can't find a way to escape the sadistic tribe and get out of the jungle, the anthropologist's horrific end will surely be their own… (Echo Bridge Entertainment)

The Italian horror film Slave of the Cannibal God has one strong aspect in Ursula Andress, who didn't hesitate to take her clothes off for this garbage. In two scenes. And yeah, it's something to see. Otherwise, Slave of the Cannibal God is a classic of its genre. It doesn't try to do anything extra, it simply wants to emphasize the greed of human civilization, and so it also emphasizes the ecological message contained in it a bit more.

This is an average example from the period of the Italian cannibal horror B-movie boom, which has everything that characterizes this blasted sub-genre - from the plausible gore, through the numerous naked bodies and indigenous rituals, to inexcusable violence against animals. The acting performances go from respectable (Stacy Keach) to quite appalling - Ursula Andress is quite unbearable for a large part of the movie, until to the moment when, in a torn dress, she starts running away from the cannibals. If you are wondering if this picture deserves to have such a low rating - in my opinion it does not. It is just a completely ordinary piece of Italian trash with a shaky plot and a decadent finale when most audiences probably expected some sort of horror masterpiece from Sergio Martino.
