Good old Joe D´Amato (R.I.P.) really deserves the title for being one of the grossest directors who have ever lived! His contribution to the cannibal-genre, which was very popular in the late 1970s, is no exception, because "Emanuelle and the last cannibals" is nearly as sick as his masterpiece "Buio Omega" and much better than the overrated "Emanuelle in America"!
The story so far: after some mysterious incidents in a madhouse sexy reporter Emanuelle (as gorgeous as ever: Laura Gemser) decides to investigate a story about the last existing cannibal tribes. She joins an expedition to the delta of Amazonas, what soon becomes the undoing for nearly all members of the group...
The first hours of this epic is nothing else but a normal adventure movie, enriched with some typical D´Amato-like soft sex scenes (unfortunately no hardcore shots were used like in "Erotic Nights of the Living Dead"..!). The last thirty minutes however are a pretty sick gorefest: explicit sequences of cannibalism, ritual sacrifice... gore in his grossest form!! Even a short (faked) snuff-footage is brought on! This film is another must-see for D´Amato´s fans as well as the lovers of cannibal movies or gory sexploitation!! Check it out!!!
