From Wikipedia-

‘Jeremy Taylor is traveling through the Amazon rivers along with his wife and daughter when his boat gets attacked by some Indigenous cannibals who eat his wife Elisabeth and take Jeremy prisoner. The little girl Léna manages to hide inside the boat, even though the cannibal witch doctor and his son Yakeké find her fainted on the side of a river and carry her to the village, where she gets worshipped as the “white goddess.”

After having suffered an arm amputation, Jeremy flees from the cannibal tribe and, rescued, manages to return to New York. His recovery, both physical and psychological, is still slow. Ana’s presence is decisive; the doctor who, after having cured him with love, gets engaged to him. But Jeremy is obsessed with retrieving his daughter, who he believes of seeing reflected images on the shop window. Thus, after 10 years, he manages to organise a new expedition in the cannibals’ land, financed by a billionaire lover of adventure, Charles Fenton, and his partner Barbara Shelton.’

It says everything that I can’t even bring myself to outline the premise of Cannibal World myself without resorting to cutting and pasting.

This Jess Franco film is a bad example of a sub-genre I can’t stand.

No real suspense, nothing within the plot that sparked my interest, no characters that I felt anything towards. I think Franco thought an exotic locale would suffice. It doesn’t.

A good cure for insomnia.

Have I mentioned I hate jungle-based cannibal movies?!
