Man From Deep River [1973] (REGION 1) (NTSC)

Customer Reviews:

this DVD is RCE encoded.......2006-04-30

RCE (Region Coding Enhancement) encoding is an idiotic idea which means that even if you have a multi-region DVD player it won't work you must have a region 1 (only) player its stupid 1 star for the crappy dvd encoding

Man From Deep River AKA Deep River Savages uncut at last!.......2005-02-23

This is the movie that started it all.Made way back in 1972 this movie created a genre that lasted over a decade and included such gruesome yarns as Cannibal Holocaust and Eaten Alive.This is the first of the italian cannibal movies.
Ivan Rassimov plays an English photographer on holiday in Thailand.When accidently he kills a guy in a bar brawl he hires a boat and a guide and heads off upriver.He is soon captured by a local tribe and subjected to tourture but in a strange twist they accept him as one of their own.
Directed by Umberto Lenzi who later went on to direct Cannibal Ferox.MFDR is alot tamer than what was to come in the late 70s but that doesent mean its not nasty and contains sick scenes of animal butchery which were then common place in every other cannibal movie after.The scenes involving canniblism are still pretty strong too making this gruelling experience.
Its very well made though,with georgous scope photography and effective soundtrack.Well worth a look for italian horror fans and video nasty collectors.Shiek Shows region 1 only disc is uncut and features a good anamorphic transfer in 2.35:1 and extras include a short interview with director Lenzi.The UK disc from Hard Gore is cut by 3mins 45sec and is titled Deep River Savages.

Short & Sweet DVD.......2005-10-26

This is an excellent DVD although pretty short in length.
There are no extras, just three x 1 hour long programmes which are informative and enthusiastically made.

There are some television firsts too including a Moth with a tongue (Or it's equivalant) over a foot in length and a search for a giant spider

Flash goes into the jungle.......2004-05-19

Larry 'Buster' Crabbe is the only consolation in this absurdly ineffective jungle melodrama. Crabbe plays the idealistic young doctor who is researching the jungle's natural ressources to find a cure against a deadly tropical disease. Not a trace of Tarzan here, but smooth, boyish charm and easygoing cameraderie with his father, played by Charles Middleton, Flash Gordon's nemesis from the 1930's serials starring Crabbe.
Not much to come for, then, but you might want to get for glimpses of hunky Larry.
