Starring: John Saxon Elizabeth Turner Giovanni Lombardo Radice (as John Morghen) Cinzia De Carolis (as Cindy Hamilton) Dir: Antonio Margheriti (as Anthony M. Dawson) The urge to get the DVD of this cannibal exploitation movie was completely impulsive on my part as soon as I found out John Saxon was in it. Saxon has been a cult favourite in my house... »
