지옥의 카니발 (1980)

Apocalypse Domani

베트남의 지옥은 끝나지 않았다, 이제 그 굶주림이 도시를 덮친다

베트남전 당시 포로 구출 작전에 나섰던 노먼 홉퍼 대위는 구덩이에 갇혀 있던 부하 찰리와 토미가 적군의 시체를 뜯어먹는 끔찍한 광경을 목격했다. 전쟁은 끝났지만 그날의 악몽은 애틀랜타의 평온한 일상 속에서도 그를 놓아주지 않는다. 그러던 어느 날 정신병원에서 갓 퇴원한 찰리가 노먼에게 전화를 걸어오고, 얼마 지나지 않아 극장에서 한 여성을 물어뜯는 사건을 일으킨 뒤 무장한 채 쇼핑몰에 틀어박힌다. 경찰과 대치하는 옛 전우를 설득하러 나선 노먼은 자신의 내면에서도 억눌러 왔던 무언가가 꿈틀거리고 있음을 깨닫는다. 물린 자에게서 물린 자로 번져가는 정체 모를 광기, 전쟁이 남긴 저주는 과연 어디까지 퍼져나갈 것인가?

Cannibal Apocalypse is a 1980 horror film directed by Antonio Margheriti and starring John Saxon, Elizabeth Turner, Giovanni Lombardo Radice, Cinzia De Carolis, Tony King and Ramiro Oliveros. The film combines the cannibal film genre with a Vietnam War film.

Production

Filming took place on-location in Atlanta and Decatur, Georgia. Locations included the Savannah College of Art and Design, CNN Center, and the Candler Discount Mall. Interiors were filmed at De Paolis Studios in Rome. Giannetto De Rossi was the special makeup effects designer. The opening Vietnam War sequence re-used props and costumes from Antonio Margheriti's previous film, The Last Hunter.

Actor John Saxon had gotten a badly translated script, in which the gory parts were left out. In a 2002 interview Saxon explained: "It was talking about the Vietnam war like it was a virus you could bring home. I thought it was a great metaphor for a psychological condition." Saxon only learned what the movie was truly about during shooting.

"At one point we were shooting a scene and a guy brings in this tray of meat. I asked what it was for and they explained to me it was supposed to be body parts, even genitals, and we were supposed to gnaw on them. I asked Margheriti to take me out of the scene and I went to my hotel room. Once I found out what the true nature of the film was I got so depressed." Saxon contemplated leaving the production altogether.
