Antropophagus is a 1980 Italian horror film directed by Joe D'Amato, co-written by D'Amato and George Eastman, and starring Tisa Farrow, Zora Kerova, Saverio Vallone, Serena Grandi, Margaret Mazzantini, Mark Bodin, and Eastman, who portrays a cannibal stalking tourists on a remote island.

Production

Antropophagus was produced in collaboration between Produzioni Cinematografiche Massaccesi International (PCM International), which had recently been founded by Joe D'Amato to distribute his film Sesso nero, and Filmirage, founded by both Donatella Donati and D'Amato. Additional funding was supplied by Eureka International, a company founded by Edward Sarlui which specialized in licensing films abroad.

In an interview, D'Amato stated that it was the first film his company Filmirage had produced.

Shooting for Antropophagus lasted from 31 March 1980 to May 1980. D'Amato said it was filmed in Italian, unlike its sequel Rosso Sangue, which was filmed in English.

Although the film is set on a Greek island, only part of the production crew went to Greece to film around the Acropolis of Athens. The rest of the film was shot in Italy. Sperlonga was used for the scenes in the white village, the catacombs were those of Santa Savinilla close to the lake of Nepi, and the man-eater's villa was the "Conservatorio di Santa Eufemia" in Rome.

Ursula-Helen Kassaveti observed in the film an "irrational transformation and geographical restructuring of Athens. The experienced editor Ornella Micheli links places of the city which in no other case could be tied together".
