"While it may not be nearly as powerful as Deodato's second cannibal feature Cannibal Holocaust, Jungle Holocaust remains one of the genre's most intelligent and well-made films. Like its successors, Jungle Holocaust doesn't play for scares, but shocks – and it succeeds... Violent and perverse, with moments of downright weirdness, Jungle Holocaust shows Deodato clearly honing his craft in the genre until the cannibal cycle reached its zenith with his 1980 follow-up feature. It may not be as powerful as Cannibal Holocaust, but Jungle Holocaust is nevertheless a fine example of the development of a fledgling genre." - Julian, Digital Retribution
