U.S. label Severin Films has detailed its upcoming Blu-ray release of cult Italian director Joe D'Amato's film
Emanuelle and the Last Cannibals (1977), starring Laura Gemser, Gabriele Tinti, Nieves Navarro, Donald O'Brien, and Percy Hogan. The release is expected to arrive on the market this Spring.
Synopsis: While doing undercover work in a mental hospital, Emanuelle discovers a girl who seems to have been raised by a tribe of amazonian cannibals. Intrigued, Emanuelle and friends travel deep into the Amazon jungle, where they find that the supposedly extinct tribe of cannibals is still very much alive, and Emanuelle and her party are not welcome visitors.
The film's original soundtrack features Italian singer and composer Nico Fidenco's hit "Make Love on the Wing". Also included is an excellent instrumental version of the song. (A third, very good version also appears on the soundtrack Fidenco created for Marino Girolami's
Zombi Holocaust).
