The dark, foreboding waters of the Aegean carry a group of young tourists to a mysterious Greek Island. There, they discover the island's village completely abandoned, its inhabitants having vanished without a trace. Returning to the shore, they discover that their ship has drifted away. With no choice but to wait for the high tide the next morning, the group must remain on the island overnight. Occupying an abandoned house, the group is attacked by a young blind girl wielding a knife. Before they can stop her, she stabs one of the men. Once subdued, the girl tells them the harrowing tale of a madman who is stalking the island...a madman who reeks of rotting flesh and blood. As the darkness of night enshrouds the island, the madman begins his killing spree, stalking the group one by one. He slaughters them in his own horrifying manner, until one girl, Julie, discovers their killer's ghastly secret hidden in a catacomb stacked high with the corpses of his victims...Will Anyone Survive The Night Of "The Grim Reaper"?

This brief shocker stands out thanks to its unique location on a remote Greek island, powerfully atmospheric soundtrack, terrifying killer and one or two extraordinarily gross bits of disgustingness, which made it a classic of the genre. Italian horror trash with courage and an irresistibly distinctive face.

Nothing happens for a long, long time in the beginning, and even after the cannibal first appears, it's hard to talk about anything shocking, or at least suspenseful. It’s just a borefest, and the awful keyboard claps do get on your nerves. In the last twenty minutes D’Amato kicks things up a bit, there are two "appetizing" scenes, and the "dessert" with a human fetus is really very creepy. Oh, by the way, George Eastman, the cannibal is really handsome. I'm surprised I've never seen him on a teen-mag poster, I'm sure there would be a spot on the wall of a lovelorn fifteen year old's room :)

It was watchable, yeah, but I would have liked a bit more action and gore. Those couple of scenes are really good, but they are too few and the first half of the film feels quite empty. What’s great is the atmosphere full of uncertainty and fear about the things to come, but the music score is annoying, like in most Italian horror.

Awful horror garbage recommended as a manual by seven out of ten cannibals and zero out of ten filmmakers. I can accept the stupid music, but the constantly stagnant events and the absence of any memorable scenes (perhaps with the exception of the very last one) are marked. Compared to this, the degenerate Cannibal Holocaust is a piece of intellectual filmmaking.

The moment when the murderer appears on the scene and we see him for the first time is really well done, and horror falls upon the viewer, which is associated with this revelation. Literally like the birth of a beast, which also immediately shows off. The film doesn't overdo it unnecessarily, doesn't explain unnecessarily, and it won me over with that. It's not a brilliant horror, but from an Italian production, it is definitely something worth paying attention to. It may look ordinary, but you can feel that horror was truly the primary focus. Even the gore is not as ubiquitous as one might expect, but it is chosen in the right measure.
