Love Goddess of the Cannibals on DVD in June

4 June 2010

Once again Shameless have ressurected a film whose title alone is surely worthy of some award. Meet Papaya (Melissa Chimenti), voodoo priestess, sex siren, eco-activist, blood crazed cannibal and the star of director Joe D'Amato's sexploitation classic, Love Goddess Of The Cannibals (Papaya dei Caraibi, 1978), which is coming to DVD later this month is a specially presented 'Rebuild' version courtesy of Shameless Screen Entertainment.

When big business geologists threaten her people and their ancestral lands with their plans to build a nuclear reactor, it's up to Papaya to seduce and then kill those who threaten her ancient way of life. Enter Sara (played by Finnish sex symbol, Sirpa Lane, star of the Walerian Borowczyk favourite The Beast), a beautiful journalist hungry for a lead, who soon will be sucked into Papaya's deadly vortex of perverse, violent carnality. In a riot of bloody mutilation, Sapphic lovemaking and tribal drumming, the Love Goddess of the Cannibals takes her victims on delirious trip into jungle sleaze and violated flesh via an orgy of sex and death.

Love Goddess Of The Cannibals (still cert. 18 after all these years) will be released on DVD by Shameless Screen Entertainment on 28th June 2010 at the RRP of £15.99. Featureing both English and Italian soundtracks, the dis will have the following extras:
