British label Shameless Entertainment has officially announced that it will release on Blu-ray Sergio Martino's film
The Mountain of the Cannibal God (1978), starring Ursula Andress, Stacy Keach, Claudio Cassinelli, Antonio Marsina, and Franco Fantasia. The release will be available for purchase on May 7.
Synopsis: When her anthropologist husband fails to return from an expedition into the Manilla jungle, Susan Stevenson (Ursula Andress) organises a search party to go looking for him. Accompanied by her brother Arthur (Antonio Marsina) and her husband's friend Dr Edward Foster (Stacey Keach), Susan heads towards Mount Rarami, the last confirmed location her husband visited. There they learn about the terrible curses which have rendered the mountain taboo and begin to suspect that it might have something to do with the anthropologist's disappearance.
Banned as a 'video nasty', this entirely new widescreen release features previously unseen footage (of sex and gore) and is the longest ever UK version. Get ready, as Shameless serve up the world's first 2K restoration of this ferocious exploitation treat, to be devoured in all its blood-soaked glory!
