GORE-MET: ZOMBIE CHEF FROM HELL-1986-In 1386, Goza (Theo Depuay) is condemned to be a flesh-eating zombie by some robed guys. 300 years later he's running a deli on the beach in Charlotte, NC. He kills a health inspector and a customer complains there's hair in his stew. Of course, Goza, who occasionally talks to the camera, is killing people to quench his lust for flesh.

 If more people could see this movie (it's supposed to be a comedy) I'm sure it would be on a lot more worst horror movies lists. Bad everything! It's the only film effort by director Don Swan.

THE FOREST-1983-A man and woman hiking in the woods are killed by someone toting a knife. After the credits, two arguing couples decide to go camping. The women go out first and the men follow later. They are all terrorized by some bo-hunk cannibal (Gary Kent using a pseudonym) who lives in a cave with his ghost children. His ghost wife wanders around too. In a silly flashback we see what happened to him and his family. 

Typical '80's low budget regional nonsense. Director/writer Don Jones also appears as a ranger. Low budget film veteran Gary Kent died in May 2023 at age 89. RIP...

BLOOD FARM-2018-A freak (Thomas Sunken,the executive producer) who wears a dish towel over his head and makes weird screaming noises kills people, chops up the bodies and cooks them. An amateur vigilante SWAT team is hunting him and describe him as the "legend that never dies". He seems to commit all his murders in broad daylight so I don't see why finding him is such a problem. He has some weird flashbacks and later puts on a blue wig and suspenders and terrorizes two team members. The night time scenes are like a YouTube ghost video. 

Ganon Gorder, the writer-director plays one of the hun-ters. This annoying, boring, hopeless mess was filmed in Iowa.

Italian Cannibal

ANTHROPOPHAGUS-1980-In a long opening scene a couple go to a beach. She's killed underwater and he gets a meat cleaver in the head. An American woman named Julie (Tisa Farrow with a dubbed voice) joins some tourists for a vacation on a secluded Mediterranean island. After fooling around with tarot cards they do some exploring and find the town there mostly deserted except for a young blind girl (Julie's friends' daughter). Of course it turns out that there is a mad cannibal (George Eastman) on the loose who used to be a guy named Niklos. Through a flashback we learn Niklos and his wife and young son were stranded in a raft. Niklos accidentally stabbed his wife when they argued over eating their dead son's body. Niklos wound up eating both and going mad. Niklos stabs several victims, decapitates another and rips the baby from a pregent woman and eats it. Before he dies he even attempts to eat his own guts.

The gore effects are typical for the time in an Italian horror film and the Niklos zombie is effective but much of it is way too dark.

Eastman (real name: Luigi Montefiori)  co-wrote the screenplay with director Joe D'Amati (real name: Aristide Massaccesi) who'd already made things like SEXY NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD and EMANUELLE AND THE LAST CANNIBALS. D'Amati would go on to make many more horror films in Italy (many in collaboration with Eastman) featuring bloody SFX and low budgets. Tisa Farrow (younger sister of Mia) co-starred in Fulci's ZOMBIE the year before. She'd make one more horror film in Italy HUNTER OF THE APOCALYPSE directed by Antonio Margheriti before retiring.

This played in US theaters as THE GRIM REAPER and was also known as ZOMBIE 7!
