 WHITE
SLAVE (Shock-O-Rama)
aka Violenza in Amazzonia. 1986. NR, nudity, violence, slight gore.
Itialian;English dubbed. Ten years after the fact, Katherine narrates her
grueling experience to a news reporter; at age 18, Katherine leaves her
London prep school to be with her parents at their factory stationed
within the Amazon Jungle. As the family enjoys a boat trip into the
jungle, a tribe of headhunters ambushes them and Katherine’s parents are
killed. Katherine is injured and taken hostage by the tribe. Over the next
few years, Katherine is forced to live by the tribe’s barbaric rituals
and savagery while always remembering who she is, where she comes from,
and remaining “civilized.” Until that is, she finds out the truth
concerning the murder of her parents.
Lame gore,
annoying narration, and general lack of an interesting plot make this flic
almost unwatchable. The only reason why I watched the entire film is
because I kept saying to myself, “Something good will happen.” I was
wrong. Yes, there is nudity, torture, and cheesy Italian gore, but it’s
weaker than a Michael Jackson left hook. On the plus side, Elvire Audray
(Katherine) is a cutie and runs around the entire movie showing her cute
little boobies. I am sure this movie will be semi-enjoyed by those who
love Amazon/headhunter/captured girl/naked natives movies, but I doubt
anyone else will feel the same way. (pay no attention to the video
sleeve pictured. That cutie is not in the flic)– Denis Sheehan
