Devil hunter 1980 trailer
Devil Hunter (also known as Man Hunter, Mandingo Manhunter and Sexo Caníbal) is a 1980 splatter film directed by Jesús Franco under the pseudonym "Clifford Brown" and written by Franco and Julián Esteban (under the pseudonym Julius Valery). It was shot back-to-back with Franco's Mondo Cannibale (also 1980). It is one of the infamous "Video Nasties" that was banned in the United Kingdom in the 1980s.
Contents
Lina Romay co-directed this film, while Franco's first wife Nicole Guettard edited it. This shows that Franco was still with Nicole as late as 1980. (Eventually they broke up and she was replaced in Franco's life by Lina Romay.) Pierre Chevalier was the art director on this film.
Release
The film was released on 5 December 1980 in West Germany as Jungfrau unter Kannibalen, and in Spain as Sexo Canibal. It was theatrically released in the USA, England and Italy as The Man Hunter, but was later released to video in the U.K. as Devil Hunter. It also appeared on USA video as Mandingo Manhunter. It was banned as a video nasty in the United Kingdom in the early 1980s.
Critical reception
Devil Hunter has been critically panned. Kurt Dahlke of DVD Talk called it a "horrible, trying piece of dreck that should have remained legendary and lost. That said, it's pretty fun stuff." DVD Verdict, similarly, called the film "trash" and writing that "the storyline is threadbare and the characters are idiots (the horrid dubbing makes their dialogue endlessly entertaining) but Jess Franco does not hesitate in blasting out the nipples and bloodshed."
