Anthropophagous
Short description
A group of tourists travels to a remote Greek island, only to discover that the local population has been wiped out. While exploring the deserted village and a large mansion, the visitors find a secret room and a diary that provide clues about the danger they face. They are hunted across the island by a psychopathic cannibal who feeds on human flesh.

What's left behind the scenes
- According to the director, a skinned rabbit was used to represent the fetus of the woman.
- Despite the fact that the film takes place entirely in Greece, the only truly Greek location is the Acropolis of Athens; everything else was filmed in Italy: the white-stone village is located in Sperlonga, and the cannibal family's villa was once a Roman conservatory.
- According to George Eastman, the screenwriter, producer, and actor who played the villain, the few audience members present walked out during the film's premiere in Rome. The final couple lost patience during the infamous scene involving the pregnant protagonist, leaving only Eastman and one of the producers to watch the rest of the movie.
