Row row row your boat gently down the stream













As much as this is a unofficial sequal to Ruggero Deodato´s cannibal holocaust wich was made to believe a real event captured on film.
Schiave bianche also tries to captivate the original Cannibal holocaust movie popularity. Does it work, or does Schiave bianche makes it on it own?

The movie is ” based on real events ” and are told as a courtcase, we see and hear both the procecutors and Catherine speak as the story is told in pictures.
Catherine has been kidnapped by the headhunters and she manages to escape while the laughing headhunters are chasing her.

Franco Prosperi (script) and Mario Gariazzo (director) tries to tell the same story, no surprise here as Ruggero did; the white men causes trouble when encountering a native tribe and their lifes.
Sure their way of life and their punishment for adultery are brutal and savage, not by any means as in Cannibal holocaust though.
But the ” civilised men ” are infact more brutal; as for example, throwing bombs at the locals, blasting a kids head into pieces …

Unfortunatly they also has some real animal killings in this, it´s an as much standard in cannibal movies as rain and tunder is in any normal slasher movie.
However, it is unfair to call Schiave bianche a cannibal movie. It is how strange and cheesy it may sound, a movie about love and innocent.

So, is this a movie you need to have or watch? I say if you are a completist, as in you need to have all cannibal movies and the unofficial cannibal holocaust sequals, then by all means get this.
Do Not expect a brutal gutstomach horror movie though.

If you watch it as a movie, without any relation to the original cannibal genre you might be really dissapointed.
No actual rape, short scenes of Catherine being tied up and a ” penetrating scene ” where the focus is on her face.

Where will this go?













Schiave bianche is a movie that you may and maby should avoid, that is if you´re not a completist and are in strong need of having everything about native tribe movies.
