Imagine you are on vacation. You and your friends have picked out a lovely Greek island to stay at, with beautiful scenery, beaches to stroll along, and plenty of opportunity to just relax, without a care in the world. However, this remote island is not the paradise it seems. It is strangely uninhabited, save for a blind girl who doesn't know what happened to everyone else. However, there is one other here: a man the girl says smells of blood. And for him, it is now dinnertime.
 
''[[The Anthropophagus Beast]]'' (1980) is an Italian [[Horror]] [[Film]] directed by Joe D'Amato. It was his first "straight" horror film. He had previously made erotic horror films such as ''[[Emmanuelle|Emmanuelle in America]]'' and ''Erotic Nights of the Living Dead''.
 
''The Anthropophagus Beast'' was co-written by D'Amato and Luigi Montefiori, who were long-time associates. Montefiori often co-wrote and held lead roles in D'Amato's films under the pseudonym of George Eastman. He's credited as George Eastman as both the co-writer and star of this movie.
Line 14:
In the documentary ''Totally Uncut 2'' D'Amato stated that the film was solely made for foreign markets; both the director and Montefiore claim that even though the film did very well in other countries it was a flop in Italy. Montefiore also revealed that he has never liked the film, though he did enjoy making it.
 
D'Amato followed up this film with a pseudo-sequel, ''[[Absurd (Film)|Absurd]]'', also known as ''Zombie 6: Monster Hunter''. In 1999, it had a remake known as ''Anthropophagous 2000'', made by the director of ''[[Violent Shit]]'', who somehow managed to make things [[Bloodier and Gorier]]. The 1981 film ''Porno Holocaust'', also directed by Joe D'Amato and starring George Eastman, is something of a [[Parallel Porn Titles|Parallel Porn Title]].
