User Reviews

Poor German effort

HORROR SAFARI is described in one word : lame. The movie fails in being scary, gory, or even watchable. A tragedy occurred years ago when some Japanesse troopers were on expedition... Many years later a new expedition is set to return to the place of the events. The members of the new expedition (one of them is a former survivor of the original events) find death when they find that they're not alone... Cannibalistic? No. Awful encounter with the wild nature. The film is terrible, it's a lame copy of CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST. German people please stay away from the genre.
