Blu-ray Review – White Cannibal Queen

The cannibal subgenre is not known for producing works of art. This junky trend of ultraviolent pictures managed to have its moment in the sun during the late 1970s and early '80s, supplying cheap thrills for horror fans looking to test their endurance levels. For the majority of these offerings, a test of patience levels is a more accurate description of the viewing experience, and 1980's "White Cannibal Queen" (a.k.a. "Mondo Cannibale") is certainly one of the most tedious of the bunch. Credit director Jesus "Jess" Franco, who never met a real-time event he didn't like, and he brings his famous indifference to pacing and excitement to the endeavor, which offers next to nothing in plot, performances, and suspense. "White Cannibal Queen" is mostly about watching characters walk through a jungle or be devoured by the locals, and that's not enough to support the viewing experience. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
