^You are correct, Lon. It is indeed, although it's about as much of a sequel to Anthropophaugs as Halloween 3 is to Halloween 2.

This is aka Anthropophagus II, yes?

I saw an edited version way back in the early 90s. Didn't interest me enough to see it in its uncut entirety.

From studies I've done, a lot of American audiences were put off by any dubbing or anyone that wasn't American, say they had a different accent for example. So distributors would make new trailers under different names and sell it to the North American crowd. It's sort of similar how they would usually cast British or American actors in the lead, so other countries would actually go see it.

I didnt care much for for it, but i'll give it another try. I do remember some pretty good gory parts though.

^It had its moments, the ending was pretty good. Though I would have to say that my favorite part was the Superbowl party at the neighor's house where all in attendance wore evening wear, the dudes in suits and the chics in nice dresses. And what was served at this all American shin-dig? Why spaghetti of course!

It's a pretty cool slasher movie. Love the drill through the head scene

^Several different distributors will release it under different names to appeal to different audiences or because they think it will boost sales.

What is the deal with Italian films being released under about 23 different titles?!?!?!

Don't think I saw this one though, under any name.

It's definitely one of my favorites. The girl at the end takes a beating, but just keeps coming.
