During the course of a tropical expedition, Jeremy Taylor and his family become the unsuspecting prey of a primitive and cannibalistic tribe. While his wife is savagely killed and devoured, and Jeremy’s arm is also dismembered and devoured, his young daughter is instead taken prisoner by the tribe. Years later, Jeremy has not given up hope of rescuing his daughter and, with the aid of some friends, organizes a new expedition to bring her home. However, to his shock and dismay, he discovers that her white skin and blonde hair have caused her to become worshipped as a god by the cannibals and that she has gained a tolerance for consuming human flesh.
An expectedly outrageous lo-fi cannibal film from Euro-sleaze master Jess Franco (Venus in Furs), this delectable marvel of bad taste stars Al Cliver (The Beyond), Sabrina Siani (2020 Texas Gladiators), Olivier Mathot (Draguse), Franco regular Antonio Mayans (Night of Open Sex) and, of course, his wife and muse Lina Romay (Female Vampire). Bursting with the bizarre and transgressive creative flair for which Franco is known, on top of plentiful gut munching and other perversity, WHITE CANNIBAL QUEEN (aka La Dea Cannibale) remains a fascinating outlier from Franco’s transition between more commercial and erotically-minded fare and his plunge into almost outsider art weirdness throughout the 80s. Vinegar Syndrome is delighted to present this oft-overlooked effort on Blu-ray for the first time, newly scanned and restored in 2K from its 35mm camera negative.

"Blind buy. Strange film trying to capitalize on the cannibalistic films popular at the time. Not as nonsensical as most Italian films, but nonetheless will leaving you scratching your head. I enjoyed it. I watched the original Italian language cut and had a few laughs. Nothing really too special, except the artwork, packaging and restoration are all very well done. The movie is middle of the road, but enjoyable."
"Another Great Sleazy Gory Franco Flick! Fun Cannibal Carnage with a cool Cast! A++ Love the Box art! A++ Highly Recommended for fans of sleazy gory mayhem!"
"The campiest cannibal movie i've seen and Franco fans will see his touch in this, for example it has Lina Romay need i say more? I watched every extra which there are plenty to go through. So, go for it."
"Art vibe from Jess Franco while still exploitative. Title says everything"
"I'll admit that this isn't one of my favorite Jess Franco movies but I was happy to add it to my collection. Great transfer and loaded with extras."
"Hilarious bad that’s good cannibal movie."
"OK, this is a pretty bad film, only recommended for Franco fanatics(like myself). The slipcover and extras are better than the actual film lol. Like I said, only for hard-core Franco fans."
"Beautiful transfer. Decent commentary piece"
"One of the only cannibal productions I tolerate, and not as bad as some claim to be. The scenes that take place in New York in particular feature great interiors and a Christmastime Big Apple outside."
"Enjoy the slipcover and the quite excellent restoration. The film itself is a mindstorm of bad dubbing and low budget cannibal shenanigans with Euro stars Al Cliver and Sabrina Siani at least adding some much needed value. I had my fun with this!"
