In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

Cannibal Ferox (1981)
A horror directed by Umberto Lenzi.
In New York City, a pair of gangsters are looking for a missing man who ran away with their money. They hound his tour guide girlfriend while the police tail her. Meanwhile in the Amazon rainforest, a group of Americans meet the boyfriend while they are searching for cannibals that they don't think exist. The group of 5 Americans is taken prisoner by the cannibals.
Ifg you thought Cannibal Holocaust was gruesome, you should watch this grizzly film. There's the obligatory turtle dissection scene along with more animal deaths and some human mutilation. Every time that the city is shown, Rocky-esque "city music" plays with a strong brass section and a little bit of funk groove. The first time it was o.k., but the following dozen times it gets redundant. If I were to rate this on a gore factor, it would get a 10/10. As a film, I'm rating it good.
