Mangeuses d'hommes

My review was written in May 1988 after watching the movie in a theatrical screening at the Marker of the Cannes Film Festival.

Thr oddball black comedy movie "Man Eaters" (":Mangeuses d'Hommes") provides some okay slapstick, but a little goes a long way. Shot on scenic locations in Sierra Leone, this one-joke comedy will fare best in home video release.

Encumbered with far too much and not very witty voice-over narration, story has an anthropologist named Hubert (played by the movie's director Daniel Colas) shipwrecked on an island with a pal who is soon eaten by cannibal women native to the place.

An international cast features lovelies Catriona MacColl, a UK actress who starred in many Italian thrillers and buxom Roberta Weiss, a Canadian actress previously starring in "Abducted", which also was shown at the Cannes Market.
