Anthropophagous: The Beast

Famous for two shots and close to unwatchable between them.

George Eastman wrote it and cast himself as the title character, a shipwreck survivor who resorted to eating his own family and now lives on a Greek island. Tourists arrive.

The pace is glacial. Long stretches consist of people walking through empty streets calling names, which is partly D'Amato covering a budget and partly a genuine attempt at desolation that does not come off.

The two sequences everybody knows are a pregnancy scene and a final act of self-consumption, both achieved with animal offal, and both are the sole reason the film has a reputation and a DPP listing.

Successfully prosecuted. Eastman and D'Amato reused the lead the following year in Absurd, which is the same film with a hospital in it.
