Oh man! Give me a hamburger, someone!! Seeing this guy eat up all those young, nubile Italians is just making me hungry. If you are at all familiar with the Italian gore flix of the 70s and 80s, then you might have heard of director Joe D'Amato. Otherwise, you wouldn't care to know him, 'cuz he is one weird freak, based on this cannibal zombie masterpiece.
A bunch of friends take a quiet boat tour of some beautiful, sunny Aegean islands, despite the fact that one of the gals has seen some pretty scary things in her tarot cards. The gang comes across one solitary island where all the inhabitants seemed to have disappeared, leaving the village abandoned. They shack up for the night, but soon find that they aren't quite alone. When they investigate the deserted buildings they discover an old journal, and read all about a ghoulish man who began to eat his family up after food and contact was cut off from the mainland. Before you know it, someone starts picking off the friends, one by one, serving them up for one frightening meal.
