Ultimo Mondo Cannibale

Mondo Cannibale (also known as Cannibals and White Cannibal Queen and Barbarian Goddess) is a 1980 cannibal film by prolific Spanish exploitation director Jesús Franco which starred a 17-year-old Sabrina Siani . It is one of two cannibal films directed by Franco starring Al Cliver, the other being Man Hunter (aka Devil Hunter, aka Sexo Canibal).

Mondo Cannibale is considered even by Franco himself to be the worst cannibal film ever made, due to its slow pacing, bad acting, terrible special effects and awful camera work. An uncut DVD was released by Blue Underground. The DVD features an interview with Jesus Franco and the French theatrical trailer. Franco said in the interview that he only did the 2 cannibal films for the money, and admitted he had no idea why anyone would want to watch them. He said that Sabrina Siani was the worst actress he ever worked with in his life (next only to Romina Power).

Plot

The film follows a fathers attempt to rescue his teenage daughter from a tribe of man eating primitives who have made her their queen.
