8	''Cannibal Ferox'', also known as ''Make Them Die Slowly'' and ''Woman from Deep River'' is a 1981 [[ExploitationFilm exploitation]] horror film directed by Umberto Lenzi.

10	From beginning to end, it's a watered-down [[UsefulNotes/{{Plagiarism}} rip-off]] of ''Film/CannibalHolocaust''.

12	Three college kids, Gloria (Lorraine De Selle), Rudy (Danilo Mattei) and Pat (Zora Kerova), [[TemptingFate out to write a thesis that cannibalism no longer exists]] head to South America. Once there, they encounter a pair of drug dealers, Mike (Creator/GiovanniLombardoRadice) and Joe (Walter Lucchini) who claim to be fleeing from a CannibalTribe that attacked them. Continuing on until they reach the tribe for some reason, they find the village deserted except for a few members lurking around the fringes. It seems Mike lied; he had actually been forcing the tribe to gather coca and mine for emeralds, and had killed one of them for his own sadistic amusement, prompting the attack. When he kills another one, the tribe decides there shall be no more and goes on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge against the dealers and kiddies. {{Gorn}} ensues.

14	No 70s/80s grindhouse CannibalFilm would be complete without some [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman genuine animal killings]]; here a rodent is eaten by an anaconda, a monkey is eaten by a leopard, a boar is stabbed, a turtle is dismembered, and an alligator is sliced open. Also; the film's principal marketing point was that it had allegedly been [[BannedInChina banned in 31 countries]]. However, a complete list of the countries it was banned in has never been given, and many of the countries it was once banned in have now lifted the ban.

16	!!This film provides examples of:
17
18	* AssholeVictim: Mike, ooh boy Mike. An AxCrazy {{Sadist}} who likes nothing more than torturing, mutilating and killing natives to the point of provoking the natives to go after them in the first place and repeatedly leaves his partner to die, it's safe to say that he isn't missed.
19	%%* AxCrazy: Mike again.
20	* BigBad: Mike Logan, the sadist whose torment of the tribe causes all the chaos.
21	* CannibalFilm: It's in the title. The film revolves around the tribe slowly torturing the protagonists and then eating them.
22	* CapturedByCannibals: The protagonists are captured by a tribe of man-eaters after one too many murders.
23	* DirtyCoward: Mike ends up leaving the rest of the party to die so they don't hinder his escape.
24	%%* ExploitationFilm
25	* EyeScream: Mike gouges one of the native's eyes out with his machete.
26	* FanDisservice: Seeing men get castrated or women having hooks stuck through the bottom of their breasts so the ends stick through the tops just isn't pleasant at any speed.
27	* ForegoneConclusion: Come on people; just look at the poster above. [[GoryDeadlyOverkillTitleOfFatalDeath And the title]]. And the fact that it's banned in 31 countries. And the fact that it starts out with the kids oh-so-assured that cannibalism no longer exists. Just what do you think is going to happen in it?
28	%%* {{Gorn}}: Errr, yeah.
29	* GratuitousLatin: The word "ferox" in the title means "cruel" or "ferocious" in Latin.
30	%%* GroinAttack
31	* HealItWithFire: A (groin) wound cauterized with a hot blade - ouch!
32	%%* HollywoodSilencer: Surprisingly averted here, as WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob points out.
33	%%* HorrorFilms
34	%%* HumansAreBastards
35	* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Through the breasts with fish-hooks, egad! And you thought the clit-snip from ''{{Film/Antichrist}}'' and the nipple-bite from ''Film/SnakesOnAPlane'' were horrid, ladies!
36	* LaserGuidedKarma: Mike [[CripplingCastration chops off a tribesman's manhood]], and he has the same done to him, later in the film.
37	%%* LargeHam: Mike
38	%%* MsFanservice: Pat.
39	%%* NationalGeographicNudity
40	* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: The tribe goes on one after Mike mutilates one of the natives and kills another.
