Make Them Die Slowly is the alternative USA release title - Cannibal Ferox (Latin for Ferocious) is the more common European title.
This film is the most trashy and reckless of the Italian gut-munchers for sure, with none of the social commentary and power of Cannibal Holocaust (though it does attempt to ape its' "who are the real cannibals?" exploitative thought train).
Finding the real animal mutilation amusing is rather disturbing - though these scenes give the harsher cannibal movies an undeniable edge, they are thoroughly reprehensible and impossible to defend.
From the main contenders, Ferox has the most realistic "cock-slicing" scene though - dished out to the oft-abused John Morghen!
