The Gore Saves It, But Just Barely
15 September 2023
Seven female university students and their professor travel to an abandoned (well, mostly) bunker to work on a thesis for history or sociology or whatever (it doesn't matter), only to discover that they're not alone. Our gals weren't allowed to bring cell phones and were forbidden from telling anyone where they were going so here they are locked in the giant bunker with a cannibal, and only the creepy caretaker knows.

The ladies are attractive but the dubbing is atrocious and the dialogue is almost worse. Mr. Bunker Man is the most inefficient cannibal I've seen in ages - dude, you live in an abandoned bunker with a bad reputation in the middle of nowhere. There can't be much walk in traffic but ol' Bunky catches a girl, tortures her for a bit, and then starts to chow down without a thought to aluminum foil, plastic baggies, or a deep freeze.

His leftover loss is our gain though, because the kills and gore are mostly awesome. Impromptu C-section, scalping, degloving, tongue removal, and more, and they all look great. It was very weird to watch one character have her nose bitten off and then her head slammed into concrete until it's a big mess in one scene but when one of the leads finds her in the next scene, she looks mostly ok,but I'm not going to quibble. Watch for the effects and not the plot and you'll probably have a good time.

PS - this has nothing to do with the OG Anthropophagus or Absurd.
