SAVAGE MAN ... SAVAGE BEAST (1975)

 This mondo movie focuses on man's relationship with the animal kingdom. Most specifically hunting and eating them. It also juxtaposes footage of animals doing the same things. They also throw in some footage of filthy vegetarian hippies rolling around at garbage-strewn festivals to make some sorta point about something or another.This one was early enough in the mondo cycle that it at least does attempt to raise some questions and not be just another FACES OF DEATH-style shock-a-thon/snuff film which is what these things would ultimately devolve into. Some beautiful nature shots mixed with some harsh realities and some most-likely staged stuff(a guy getting eaten by lions?). Oh and we get to see some tribe have sex with holes in the ground to fertilize the earth and make more animals to hunt. One of the better made examples of this scummy genre that's obviously not really meant for animal lovers or overly-sensitive types(which I'm guessing in 2020 describes about 90% of the population).  

The DVD I have of this is just a copy of the Australian VHS which is slightly cut so I'm assuming the uncut version might be a bit rougher.

Re-released as SAVAGE TEMPTATION
