REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Thu., Sept. 13, 2001

The Alamo North presents the Southern U.S. premiere of this previously banned film that has been recently remastered and restored under the auspices of Sage Stallone (Sly's brother). Hyped as a cannibal snuff film, the film will play at the Alamo's north location for a week-long run.
