An anthropology student working on her Ph.D heads into the Amazon to prove that cannibals don't exist. She and her travelling companions find out otherwise. Eyes are gouged out. Hands are chopped off. Animals are cut up and cut open. Two men are castrated. A woman gets hung up on hooks through her chest. Fresh brains and entrails are consumed. Sound like fun? The violent scenes in this are just as explicit and appalling as those in "Cannibal Holocaust", but the earlier film with its more limited production values and docudrama technique did a better job of accentuating the horror. That still leaves "Ferox" on the extreme end of the scale for cannibal movies. If you're squeamish, it'll really make you squeam. Alternate titles: "Make Them Die Slowly", "Woman From Deep River".
