Decades of Horror 1970s is partnering with the WICKED HORROR TV CHANNEL (https://wickedhorrortv.com/) which now includes video episodes of the podcast and is available on Roku, AppleTV, Amazon FireTV, AndroidTV, and its online website across all OTT platforms, as well as mobile, tablet, and desktop.

Synopsis: A woman is aided by her brother, a professor, and an explorer as they search the jungles of New Guinea for her anthropologist husband, who vanished near a mountain that is said to be cursed.

It’s summertime, so it must also be time for a cannibal movie! That’s not actually a thing, but what the heck. Decades of Horror has covered two or three of them on its 1980s podcast, so why not on the 1970s? Don’t answer that. Directed by Sergio Martino and starring Ursula Andress, Stacy Keach, and Claudio Cassinelli, Slave of the Cannibal God (1978) unfortunately features one of this Italian subgenre’s common tropes, animal cruelty. To add to its questionable content, bestiality and graphic sexual content are depicted. On the other hand (we know, we know), this film is well-made, well-shot, and well-acted with the actors performing all of their own stunts. This one isn’t for everyone, but that’s why we watch ‘em. So you don’t have to, but only if you don’t want to.

At the time of this writing, Slave of the Cannibal God (1978) is available to stream from Wicked Horror TV and Classic Horror Movie Channel as Mountain of the Cannibal God, as well as Tubi and PlutoTV. The film is also available on physical media from Severin Films as either a 4K UHD or a Blu-ray formatted disc. [NOTE: The version on Tubi is cut by roughly 8.5 minutes. The length on Tubi is 1:34:31, while the length on the Severin DVD, Wicked Horror TV, and Classic Horror Movie Channel is 1:43.]

Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror 1970s is part of the Decades of Horror two-week rotation with The Classic Era and the 1980s. In two weeks, the next ‘70s episode, chosen by Doc, will be Crash! (1976), directed by Charles Band and starring Jose Ferrer, Sue Lyon, Leslie Parrish, and John Carradine with a cameo by Reggie Nalder. Did we mention there are a lot of crashes?
