ANTHROPOPHAGUS

An original short rotoscoped horror film

When Zoe's best friend and roommate, Eliot, goes missing she drives herself into the ground looking for them. Then the kind Bateman family invite her for dinner, but when the meat tastes strange it's less a question of what but who exactly is she eating?

I'll be posting more content - including lore and character designs on this blog so feel free to stick around and ask questions

Viddying the Nasties | Anthropophagus (D'Amato, 1980)

I decided to revisit this upon learning of Tisa Farrow's passing. Farrow gets some cute moments with her male co-stars and makes for a pretty appealing lead, so despite some of the horrible things that happen, this is a nice movie to remember her by. While these classic Italian splatter movies aren't necessarily known to be actors' showcases, you watch enough of them, and see the same actors pop up time and time again, and in a way they become your friends. So along with Farrow, it was nice to spend some time again with some other familiar faces.

Like Zora Kerova as an erratic psychic, although her inability to predict anything specific brings to mind a piece of wisdom from the great Jean-Claude Van Damme: “If you phone a psychic and she doesn't answer the phone before it rings, hang up.” And Serena Grandi, who has nothing to do but be very pregnant, although as pregnant performances in genre movies go, she ranks below Tisa's sister Mia in Rosemary's Baby and Chen Ping in The Vengeful Beauty, who would wince and hold her belly in between fight scenes. But out of the protagonists, I think the best used is Margaret Mazzantini, who is great at looking sc-sc-scared!!! with her appealingly wide eyes anytime she senses the monster is near from the scent of blood. Although when we first meet her, she leaps out a-stabbin' from a barrel full of blood, which I would assume would dull her senses somewhat. This is right after a cute little cat leaps onto a piano.

And most importantly, there's George Eastman as the titular monster. Like seemingly many of his movies, he plays a disgusting freak, but this time it's not just in the contents of his heart, he looks like one too. When I first saw this, I hadn't seen any of his other movies previously, so I kind of assumed that this is what he'd actually looked like. I mean, not the awful complexion, I knew that was makeup. But I definitely assumed he had the same hairline. Luckily there are family photos and a flashback that along with creating and then dispelling the central mystery, hold some educational value for those similarly unfamiliar with Eastman outside of this one movie. When I first watched this, I remember finding the initial reveal, which comes about halfway into the movie, a little lame. I'm not gonna pretend that's not still the case, but I do appreciate that Joe D'Amato quickly realizes his mistake and tries to correct for it by pushing Eastman back into the shadows, and during such scenes, I can appreciate this would have played great on a murky VHS in which you could barely make him out as he skulks around, a-stabbin' and a-bitin' and doing all the other horrible things he does. But for the rest of the movie, I can appreciate how well this plays in the relatively pristine forms it's now easily available in, as D'Amato strengths as a cinematographer are readily evident.

I was pleasantly surprised during my initial viewing how low key this was, and appreciated its commitment to building suspense by withholding the gore gags. Like I said, you don't even get to see the monster until halfway into the movie, and the scenes the movie is best known for, two outrageously gnarly scenes of violence, come within the last third or so. I can understand why those expecting a nonstop gorefest might be disappointed, but I like the way this movie almost lulls you to sleep with its pleasant scenery, the blindingly white beaches and buildings of the coastal village during the day, the darkened corridors and catacombs lit only by candles or torches. (Anyone like me who likes creepy corridor scenes will get a kick out of this.) The vacation vibes here are strong. Never mind the heavy breathing during the shots where the characters may or may not be getting spied on from a distance. What could go wrong?

And when you've dozed off, BAM! He hits you with a horrific gore scene. Within the first few minutes, we get some underwater bloodletting and some classic D'Amato face trauma. And of course there are those two all-timer scenes I mentioned, one unbelievably mean-spirited gag where Eastman, uh, gets the munchies for a California cheeseburger (D'Amato used a skinned rabbit covered in blood), and an equally outrageous final scene where Eastman get the munchies for, uh, himself. There's even some comic relief in the form of Eastman rolling off a rooftop after getting hit in the leg with a pickaxe like in a slapstick comedy. Is it intentional? Who cares?

As I'm gotten somewhat better versed in D'Amato's work, this now gives me some of the same queasy vibes as his Caribbean porno horrors, but is probably a more palatable watch. One, you don't get the same nauseating sense of heat and exhaustion as the vacation buildup is at least pleasant on the surface. Two, without the hardcore scenes, this runs at a more digestible hour and a half instead of the brutal two hour runtime of some of those. Three, without the hardcore scenes, you don't have to experience the raw, unmitigated horror of Mark Shannon's suspiciously textured balls in closeup. The only thing warty here is Eastman's monster makeup. Which I guess makes it a comparatively less scary movie. But otherwise it's a more enjoyable one.

The flim was amazing, spectacular brilliant.

9/10 from me..but why call them bateman? That is red flag

I'm guessing this is an ask regarding @anthropophagusofficial - when coming up with a name for my cannibalistic killers I was also reading American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis and I had to pay homage for one of my favourite fictional characters. He, much like the Batemans, is a terrible terrible person who is also very fascinating. Thanks for the ask, Cleo :)
