EMANUELLE
AND THE LAST CANNIBALS-1977-At a mental institution, a patient bites a nurse. Emanuelle (Laura Gemser), doing some investigative reporting, visits the now straitjacketed woman. She
discovers the mad woman has a tattoo from a tribe in the Amazon
jungle. Her editor wants her to go there and get the story on the
last cannibal tribe. She contacts anthropologist Mark Lester
(Gemser's real life husband at the time Gabriele Tinti). After they
have sex, he agrees to lead an expedition.
After arriving, they meet
Isabelle (Monica Zanchi), a reporter. She joins them along with a
nun. When Emanuelle is attacked by a snake, hunter Donald McKenzie
(Donald O'Brien; DOCTOR BUTCHER MD) shows up and shoots it. Then he,
his wife (Susan Scott) and their guide join up. They wander around
being unknowingly watched by the locals. After the nun is
cannibalized, McKenzie and his wife go off to get diamonds from a
helicopter crash (their real reason for being there). The natives
attack, wound McKenzie and kidnap his wife.
Later they get Isabelle.
Emanuelle and Lester watch from afar as the wife is cannibalized and
McKenzie is squeezed in half.
To save Isabelle, Emanuelle poses as a goddess.
This starts out as a
typical soft-core porn, that turns into a pretty disgusting display
of the Italian cannibal genre at its worst. This was the fourth
“Black Emanuelle” movie director Joe D'Amato (born Aristide
Massaccesi) made, followed by several more in the series. He later
made ANTROPOPHAGUS (1980) and its sequel ABSURD (1981) and many
others.
