Watch Emanuelle and the Last Cannibals For Free

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

I was extremely thrilled with Severin's Blu-ray of Emanuelle and the Last Cannibal came through my work. I was familiar with Joe D'Amato, the famed Italian porno exploitation trash-master who helmed films with names like Porno Holocaust, Erotic Nights of the Living Dead, and Super Hard Love, but, I must admit, I had never seen a single one of his almost 200 films. I had, however, seen a Black Emanuelle film, the first one, and was not terribly impressed. It wasn't directed by D'Amato, but rather Bitto Albertini, another Italian exploitation guy, though less prolific or esteemed than our man Joe. I found Black Emanuelle (or Emanuelle in Africa as my VHS is titled) to be fairly standard Sexploitation fare, none of the sex or any of the parts in between were impressive or interesting enough to hold my attention, but when I saw the cannibals on the cover of this film, I had a hope. A hope that this film would be what it looked like: a sexploitation Cannibal Holocaust.Well, it delivered. This is one of the purest films of unbridled irredeemable trash I have ever seen, and I loved it. After the opening credits basically the first thing that happens is a nurse gets her whole titty bit off by a she-cannibal. I was excited to see that D'Amato was going for the extreme gore right off the bat, even before the copious (and I mean copious) amount of fucking. Emanuelle is a photojournalist who, after doing an undercover piece in a New York psychiatric ward, finds evidence of a long-thought-extinct tribe of Amazonian cannibals. With her handy cannibal expert, she flies south to trek through the jungle in search of them. And have sex with basically everyone she meets.Here is just a list of some of the things you will see in this film-A Man gets his dick sliced off, very slowly, and eaten -A chimpanzee smokes a cigarette and put on sunglasses while he watches two women sexually bathe each other under a waterfall -A naked lady with her guts ripped out and a live snake stuffed inside her -A man shoves his fingers up a teenage girl's vagina while she is sleeping. (Honestly it kinda looked like he was booty digging but I can't be 100% either way) -A Nun getting her nipple sawed off (and eaten) -People claiming that it is the nighttime when it is very clearly not. Like the sun is out. And they say that it's dark. -Hysterical women being slapped (stupid women with their emotions). -"The Annual Feast of Fertility" (A woman gets stabbed in the vagina and then has her uterus cut out and eaten). -A man is placed between a tug of war with a long string which, of course, cuts his body in half -Incredibly awkward, quiet, and frightening cannibal gang-rape.Let me extrapolate a bit on that last bullet point, because it really was the strangest rape scene I've ever seen. The cannibals need to impregnate their captive and so they gang rape her. She lays there, silent, as each cannibal climbs on her and humps her about four times, in a ridiculously unrealistic simulation of sex (think Tommy Wiseau's idea of what sex looks like). As this happens the other thirty or so cannibals stand by watching, also silent. The whole scene is silent. Just people standing around awkwardly watching this raping happen. The movie was in fact not a response to Ruggero Deodato's notorious video nasty Cannibal Holocaust, but rather its predecessor, 1977's Ultimo Mondo Cannibale, the film credited with jump-starting the cannibal film trend of the ensuing ten years. I haven't seen Deodato's first Cannibal picture, but in comparing Emanuelle to Cannibal Holocaust, many similarities are obvious, though I will say this: Emanuelle and the Last Cannibals has 40% less rape, 100% more consensual sex, and 100% less actual animal killing than Cannibal Holocaust. I do really like the character of Emanuelle in this film. Early on she warns her anthropologist-guide-slash-fucktoy that she is a fiercely independent woman who won't be tied down to one man. She fucks a guy who gives her a ride, she rubs a couple vaginas (briefly), she globetrots around the world doing crazy dangerous shit, getting attacked by snakes and almost eaten, pretends to be a God, all in the name of getting a good story and set of photos for the newspaper where she works. Although, obviously obscured by about fifty pounds of celluloid filth, Emanuelle represents something of a feministic protagonist: Self-posessed, career driven, sex positive, and adventurous. Not a role-model for children, perhaps, but certainly much better than the blood-bags that women usually place in movies this gory. The gore, though. I was not expecting this amount of gore. I mean, it's a cannibal movie, I get that, but this was like... Wow. Some really intense shit. Also a lot of people rubbing their own or each others vaginas, which I was also not expecting since this doesn't have the hardcore inserts like some versions of some Emanuelle films do. Definitely the least "soft" of any softcore porn I've seen. There's a moment about halfway through the film when they first meet the hunter character in the wild and begin talking about hunting. Emanuelle asks why he doesn't hunt in Africa where its much safer as opposed to here in the harsh jungle of the Amazon. The thrill of the hunt, he says, is the hunt itself, not the act of killing. Setting your mind upon a prey and tracking it down, that is what gives him pleasure. This can obviously be said of Emanuelle as well, and the hunter reminds both us, and her, that humans can also be hunted. Emanuelle lives her whole life like a hunt: hunting for sexual gratification, adventure, and for the great stories that drive the passion for her reporting. Or maybe that's just a bunch of bullshit. Lets be honest, this is a movie about people fucking and eating each other. I doubt that Joe D'Amato meant for it to be anything more than that, and that's fine! It doesn't need to be anything more than that. It's a movie that knows exactly what it is and who it is marketed to and does everything you want it to do almost perfectly.9/10

There's a lot of sex and nudity in this type of classic exploitation film. I'd recommend it for someone who likes these 70's movies full of sex and and gore. Fun to watch and includes some pretty bad acting if you ask me. If you look at it from an exploitation type of film, its great! It delivers, but looking at the movie in general, this movie is pretty bad. Just depends if you're into this. It was exciting enough for me to call it a good enough film, but I was really bored that day. There's a lot of cheesy lines and acting combined with sex and nudity (masturbation is a common theme here). I was satisfied enough with the movie after watching it to write a review for it!

...are no guarantee that a film will be any good. Seriously. I just saw Joe D'Amato's "Emanuelle and the Last Cannibals" and... meh, I didn't like it. And I should've known this was going to happen. I've never been too keen on sleazoid-maestro D'Amato as a director and I think Laura Gemser's sexiness is severely overrated. She's just not all that gorgeous. It's probably her exotic looks that work wonders with many men.However, if you think Italian cannibal flicks could use more sleazy nudity & sex, then this one's probably all for you. The film starts of with a nurse who has her breast bitten off and then proceeds with a scene where Laura Gemser starts fingering a female patient. Way to go, D'Amato! That's bound to get anybody's interest, even lesbian feminist viewers.But frankly, the rest of the film just annoyed me. We got sex in the city. Then sex in the jungle. Then some more nudity. Then some more sex. Then some gore. Some sex. More gore. And more nudity & gore. Then Laura Gemser reflecting on some profound inner thoughts in a boat and... The End.Emanuelle and the Last Cannibals is absolute smut. Ultra-sleazy exploitation trash filled with uninteresting soft-core sex and cheap gore. Naked females and dirty cannibals in a jungle. And fake blood & guts. And a monkey smoking a cigarette. And bush of The Gemstress. Sounds good to you? Go ahead and watch it. But don't say I recommended it.There. I just felt like sharing how I didn't like this film. But I got what I expected from it. In spades. So, given the movie's title, it does deliver the goods. I guess at least it's honest exploitation trash.

Joe D'Amato's "Emanuelle E Gli Ultimi Canibali" aka. "Emanuelle And The Last Cannibals" of 1977 is an extremely sleazy and highly entertaining piece of 70s horror sexploitation, which my fellow exploitation fans will love for its constant extreme sex and gore scenes and, especially, for the stunningly beautiful Exploitation siren Laura Gemser, who once again plays the role of the nymphomaniac journalist (Black) Emanuelle. When working undercover in a mental institution, Emanuelle discovers that a girl must have been raised by cannibals. Emanuelle and Professor Mark Lester (Gabriele Tinti), an anthropologist whom she feels attracted to (of course), travel to Brazil. Accompanied by some other folks, they enter the jungle near the Amazon, where a supposedly extinct cannibal tribe used to live...The gorgeous Laura Gemser is most famous for playing the lead in the 70s soft-core porn 'Black Emanuelle' series, which tried to tie in with the famous (and at the time scandalous) "Emmanuelle" of 1974, and Joe D'Amato directed a few of those film. "Emanuelle And The Last Cannibals" is a very exploitative mix of the constant sex orgies of the 'Black Emanuelle' films and the constant gore of the ultra-violent Italian Cannibal flicks. The result is a vastly entertaining Sleaze flick that no Exploitation-buff should consider missing. The plot is quite forgettable, the movie just constantly jumps from a gory massacre to a sex orgy, back to a gore scene, back to a sex scene, and so on - but who's complaining? It is almost impossible to get bored. The film also has quite a bunch of creepy moments, its main purpose, however is not suspense, but sex and gore. Laura Gemser is, as always, extremely hot, and actually naked for about 80 percent of the time, and the rest of the female cast is not too keen on wearing clothes either. The supporting cast includes the great Donal O'Brien who enjoys a deserved cult-status among fans of European genre-cinema for starring in various Spaghetti Westerns and Italian Exploitation flicks always plays his roles very good. The rest of the performances are rather forgettable, but "Emanuelle And The Last Cannibals" is probably not a film one will watch for the good acting anyway. If you are easily offended never mind this movie, but every lover of sleazy Sexploitation and Cannibal flicks should have a great time. Highly recommended to all my fellow Exploitation-buffs and Laura Gemser fans out there.
