Quite a Gem

"I've seen bad movies in my life and time. I mean really bad stinkers. Some movies you love because they are bad, some movies you want to slam your head against the wall (in comparison to having to watch the movie again). After watching Massacre in Dinosaur Valley and then watching the interview with Michael Sopkiw, I have to say this is a true jewel of a movie--the movie is bad in all the good ways. The action hero of this film, Michael Sopkiw, is someone you enjoy watching moving around, beating the bad guys up, and winning the girls. The women, mind you, are very lovely indeed. The story itself is not really there. I mean really...look at the title of the movie. You watch this kind of film for the pure mindnumbing adventure that leaves you wanting to watch it again and again. The movie itself has a bit of everything. Not really a "Cannibal Inferno" like the label on the DVD case speaks of, I'd say the "cannibal" portion is ... ah...maybe twenty or so minutes (give or take). The movie is really a bit of vignettes--one small story after the next wrapped around a plane crash and a need to get out of the jungles. All in all, I really think that if you enjoy really bad adventure movies, if you are the kind of chap or lass who enjoys watching goofy t&a, good fight scenes where the good guy pulls off the fight against the bad guys at the very end, then you'll enjoy watching this Michael Sopkiw film."

"If your a fan of foreign cannibal exploitation horror than you may very well enjoy this movie. This "Massacre in Dinosaur Valley" was also known as "Cannibal Ferrox 2". It is actually alot better than "Cannibal Ferrox" but not quite as good as "Cannibal Holocaust". It is, of course, poorly dubbed and poorly acted as are most movies of this genre. And it suffers from poor pacing. However, it offers up plenty of cheesy gore, a very cheesy male lead, and plenty of wanton violence and nudity. It also offers the 3 sexiest female leads ever seen in any cannibal movie. Suzane Carvalho in particular is a real treat. Its no wonder the cannibals and perverts of Dinosaur Island can't keep their hands off her.."
Into the Jungle!

"As with Suzanne Carvalho's other films,this movie is a pure gem. It may be an imported film,but it has a great storyline. The movie tells the tale of a group of people who are interested in visiting Dinosaur Valley,an ancient and exciting jungle. However,the trip becomes a fight for survival as the plane goes down and the survivors must fight for their lives. The deaths are gruesome and the fights are breathtaking,and the special effects are worth every penny. The characters are great,and the action is exciting. It all leads to a deadly showdown between the final survivors and a group of cannibals who want to offer up the women for sacrifice. Gunshots and arrows clash,and many people are killed. This movie is a great Brazillian hit and you'll love it."
Yes, this is exactly what a B-movie should be!

"I got this flick as part of a three-pack and wasn't sure what to expect. What a pleasant surprise! Suzanne Carvalho running around in the jungle topless, bondage, kinkiness, girls in peril, fisticuffs, explosions, shooting, Suzanne Carvalho, smart-aleck humor, and Suzanne Carvalho. Too bad she didn't make more flicks."
