MANGIATI VIVI week starts tomorrow!

I’ve always been afraid of cannibal movies. They’re stomach turning bursts of the sheer bottom of the cinematic barrel, packed with guts, gore and often, real footage of atrocities. But I braved through seven of these films to face my fear and provide you with the written results.

Next week’s films are:

Cannibal Ferox: Drug dealers face off against cannibals and no one wins except those watching the carnage.

Cannibal Holocaust: What’s even more shocking than the depravity in this film? The fact that the story structure has stayed with me for weeks, as well as the haunting soundtrack.

Eaten Alive: Ivan Rassimov as a cult leader in a cannibal packed jungle? Yes, please.

Dr. Butcher, M.D.: I should have just stopped watching movies after this one, because I’m uncertain I can be shocked any further.

The Mountain of the Cannibal God: Ursula Andress? Stacey Keach? Sergio Martino directing? Let’s watch it right now!

Emmanuelle and the Last Cannibals: Honestly, this week has numbed me to being upset at films. This genre-defying monster is beyond belief. And good taste.

Eating Raoul: Can the Blanks deal with their money woes and the swingers that are ruining their lives?

See you on Sunday. Try and not eat anything for at least an hour before reading, kind of like swimming.

All of these films — and more — are part of our three part “Video Nasties” blow out. Be sure to visit our “Section 1,” Section 2,” and “Section 3” featurettes for a complete rundown of all the films

We’ll be covering:

BLACK ROSES – When the band Black Roses shows up to the small town of Mill Basin, parents are gonna die, teachers are gonna get seduced and demons are gonna take the stage!

TRICK OR TREAT – Sammi Curr died for rock and roll. Now, he’s coming back to make everyone else pay!

THE GATE – If you play your albums backward, a giant pit to hell in your backyard will unleash demons on your house, kill your best friend and dog, and then pull you into a wall!

ROCK ‘N ROLL NIGHTMARE – Can Jon Mikl Thor defeat Satan himself? And will his band survive?

ROCKTOBER BLOOD – A singer dies after recording an album. When the band finally tours, he comes back for revenge.

Words cannot explain the excitement that we have for these movies. Please join us here on Monday for an entire week of groupies, guitars and gore! RAISE YOUR HORNS AND CLICK BACK HERE!

And we’ve since reviewed:

MONSTER DOG – If you wanted a film where a rocker, played by Alice Cooper, is really a werewolf, you found it.

BLOOD TRACKS – Imagine The Hills Have Eyes, but in a skiing lodge, with a metal band.

TERROR ON TOUR – A not-so-heavy metal band, the Clowns, are stalked by a fan dressed as one of the faux-KISS members.

HARD ROCK ZOMBIES – Will Adolf Hitler’s new Reich will be stopped by the zombied Holy Moses?

SHOCK ‘EM DEAD – Sell my soul to a voodoo woman so I can become a metal god and date Traci Lords? Yes, please!

THE DUNGEONMASTER – A demon recruits ’80s metal kings W.A.S.P as Blackie Lawless menaces the hero? Yes!

RAGING ANGELS – Released in 1995 but made during the late, hair metal ’80, a religious rocker fronts an organization pushing for a one-world government. An aspiring rocker tries to stop the Rapture and the coming of the Antichrist. Hey, Christian metal band Holy Solider, appears!

RICKY 6 – Okay, it was made in 2000, but it takes place in the midst of the “No False Metal” slew of movies inspired by the decade’s “Satanic Panic” craze. Unlike River’s Edge (1986) — which was also inspired by the exploits of Ricky Kasso — featuring era-appropriate music by Slayer, Fates Warning, and Hallows Eve, the best metal you get in Ricky 6 is a Krokus tune.
