Cannibal Island
1956, English. Directed by Edward A. Salisbury.
He destroyed his victims but saved their heads!
Though the release date says 1956, this film consists mostly of footage from a 1931 documentary called "Gow the Killer." It was the first sound film to deal with cannibalism, as it documented the social life and customs of primitive tribes that in fact did engage in cannibalism.
