Movie Reviews of Brutes and Savages
Movie Review: Fairly typical and very hokey mondo movie
Summary: 2 Stars
Brutes and Savages seems to be a pretty typical mondo type documentary. Made in the days before the Discovery Channel and Animal Planet, before every kid in America had seen crocodiles eating animals alive. It has the typical "savages" that are seen in most movies in this genre, and as they usually are the women are naked and the men are killing each other.
There is some disturbing footage in this "documentary," although I am pretty sure that all of it was completely stages. You get to see animals being killed in ceremonies, and while the animal deaths are real the ceremonies are obviously not. You also get to see some sixties style South American brain surgery, a bunch of sex related artifacts, and some supposed South American villages engaged in more "unusual" ceremonies. I would recomend renting this movie as I thought it was entertaining to watch once, but I will probably never watch it again. The fakery is too poorly done. An aligator attacking a man cuts back and forth between a dirty river and a very clean swimming pool probably in the directors back yard. It is funny, but again not worth watching more than once, and probably not even once if you aren't already a fan of the mondo doc genre.
Summary of Brutes and Savages
Fascinated by forbidden rituals & ceremonies world explorer arthur davis takes a crew with hidden cameras to africa & south america to secretly record the beauty & horror of the law of the jungle.
