The Italian horror film Slave of the Cannibal God has one strong aspect in Ursula Andress, who didn't hesitate to take her clothes off for this garbage. In two scenes. And yeah, it's something to see. Otherwise, Slave of the Cannibal God is a classic of its genre. It doesn't try to do anything extra, it simply wants to emphasize the greed of human civilization, and so it also emphasizes the ecological message contained in it a bit more.

This is an average example from the period of the Italian cannibal horror B-movie boom, which has everything that characterizes this blasted sub-genre - from the plausible gore, through the numerous naked bodies and indigenous rituals, to inexcusable violence against animals. The acting performances go from respectable (Stacy Keach) to quite appalling - Ursula Andress is quite unbearable for a large part of the movie, until to the moment when, in a torn dress, she starts running away from the cannibals. If you are wondering if this picture deserves to have such a low rating - in my opinion it does not. It is just a completely ordinary piece of Italian trash with a shaky plot and a decadent finale when most audiences probably expected some sort of horror masterpiece from Sergio Martino.
