The second film of Deodato's "cannibal trilogy".

The movie was "banned" in over 50 countries.

Ten days after the film was released, Ruggero Deodato was arrested for "obscenity" and was later charged with murder and faced life in prison because the authorities belived that the actors were really murdered on camera. The charges were dropped when the actors appeared in front of court. Deodato's charges were dismissed but the film was banned in Italy for 3 years.
