Anthropophagous 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray brings Joe D’Amato’s notorious Italian horror shocker to UHD for the first time in North America. Long infamous as one of the most controversial Video Nasties, this extreme 1980 cult film remains a major entry in Italian exploitation cinema, blending island-set terror, survival horror and grim splatter-movie intensity.
 
Tisa Farrow, Zora Kerova and co-writer/producer George Eastman star in the story of a group of travellers who arrive on a seemingly abandoned island, only to discover that something horrifying has taken hold. As the mystery deepens and the survivors are hunted through empty streets and isolated ruins, Anthropophagous builds into a brutal nightmare from one of Italy’s most infamous genre filmmakers.
 
This two-disc Severin Films collection includes both the original theatrical version and the extended Italian version, featuring a rare sequence newly restored from archival material. Scanned in 4K from the original camera negative, Anthropophagous arrives with new and archival special features exploring the film’s production, legacy and place in Italian horror history.
