Anthropophagous 2000 (1999) - Andreas Schnaas.

Teutonic Gore-master Andreas Schnaas's surprisingly faithful S.O.V tribute to D'Amato's controversial cannibal mood piece is arguably one of the more credible splatter remakes. Not completely successful, Schnaas's earnest attempt to recapture the malign spirit of the especially doom-laden original provides some palpable video nastiness. Due largely to its meagre budget, and the visual limitations of the video format, Anthropophagous 2000 doesn't quite reach the same level of wrenching, apocalyptic dread as Joe D'Amato's immortal Greek tragedy. George Eastman's iconic grimness remains untouchable, but the unknown cast do a mostly credible job of portraying their increasingly beleaguered situation, and the gut-busting gore proved satisfying. I had low expectations, as the original remains one of my favourite horror films, but Schnaas's genuine affection for The Grim Reaper is palpable, and while technically deficient, it cannot be faulted as a visceral tribute to a Euro-shock milestone. In terms of zealously unfiltered S.O.V ultra-gore Andreas remains in a Schnaas all of his very own!
