SACRIFICE! UNCENSORED DIRECTOR'S CUT (Blu-ray)

The birth of the bloody and controversial Italian Cannibal sub-genre starts here, with this notorious 1972 Umberto Lenzi (Cannibal Ferox, Nightmare City) directed survivalist shocker, presented in its completely uncut, outrageously violent version. Sacrifice! (aka The Man From Deep River, Deep River Savages) stars Eurohorror legend Ivan Rassimov (Mario Bavas Shock, Lamberto Bavas Blade of the Ripper) as photographer John Bradley, who ventures into the heart of Thailands jungles and is kidnapped by a ruthless native tribe. As Bradley fights for his life, he eventually catches the eye of the Chiefs daughter (the beautiful Me Me Lai, who also appears Lenzis 1980 gut-muncher Eaten Alive!) and, after marrying her, and after several bouts of brutality, eventually wins the natives respect. Complications arise, however, when the neighboring clan, a horde of bloodthirsty, flesh-hungry cannibals, begin sniffing around, licking their lips at the sight Bradley and his newly conquered tribe mates..
