About The Nickel Presents - CANNIBAL APOCALYPSE

CANNIBAL APOCALYPSE
(1980, Italy, Antonio Margheriti)

Released from captivity in Vietnam, two American Army officers return to civilian life and discover they have acquired an insatiable taste for human flesh. A city is terrorised… as they stalk the inhabitants to satisfy their primitive appetites.

Blending post-Vietnam malaise with Italy’s cycle of urban thrillers, Cannibal Apocalypse shifts the cannibal film from the jungle to the metropolitan fringe, treating trauma as something both internalized and socially volatile. Margheriti grounds the exploitation shocks in a recognizably anxious late-1970s America, where returning soldiers, decaying infrastructure, and media hysteria intersect—producing a hybrid of war story and infection thriller that’s as grimy as it is oddly melancholic.
