Mangeuses d'Hommes (English language release title Man Eaters) is a cult 1988 French-language sex-comedy/horror film, shot in Sierra Leone (mainly in the jungle near Tokey Beach and Black Johnson Cove) and based on a farce of the same name, first performed on stage in Paris, running for over five years and written by French author/director Daniel Colas. It is loosely based on the story of the survivors of the 1972 Andes plane crash who were forced to eat the bodies of their fellow passengers. It stars Catriona MacColl, Daniel Colas, Coralie Seyrig, Marc Sinden, Ray Lonnen, Roberta Weiss and Daniel Russo.

The publicity strap-line is "Two shipwrecked castaways discover the island they have landed on is shared by three beautiful women living alone." The 'island girls' decide to fatten up one of the men (Charles, played by Sinden) as a future store of food and use the other (Hubert, played by Colas) for menial tasks. The method of killing Charles for the feast is for Deborah (played by MacColl) to have sex with him until he dies. This caused some controversy and a review that said "En France ce sera considéré comme l'Art. Partout d'autre le considérera comme pornographie presque hardcore." (translation: "In France this will be regarded as Art. Everywhere else will regard it as almost hard-core pornography.")

Synopsis

Un bateau de croisière, avec à son bord plusieurs couples de grands bourgeois et leur petit personnel, échoue sur une île déserte. Après le choc des civilisations, la survie se met en place, les hommes aux commandes. Réduites aux travaux de couture, des champs et de cuisine, les trois uniques femmes, Deborah, Audrey et Elizabeth, profitent des rivalités masculines sanguinolentes pour reprendre la main… et la manger. Car chaque nouveau cadavre est prétexte à des libations gustatives, jusqu’au moment où tous les hommes ont été mâchés et digérés. Heureusement, deux nouveaux naufragés, les anthropologues Hubert et Martin, débarquent sur l’île. Martin passé à la casserole, reste le naïf et lunaire Hubert, qui doit désormais, seul, répondre à toutes les exigences des femelles carnivores. Parvenant à s’enfuir, Hubert tente de raconter son histoire, mais personne ne le croit.

A shy and timid man who lives with his mother buys a plant he thinks talked to him. His loneliness is very apparent in the way he tries to turn the plant into a friend. Well, the plant is carnivorous and can talk with a woman's sexy voice. Henry, the protagonist, now has two joys in life. One is being a voyeur (he is much too shy to actually talk to a girl) and the other is his new plant friend. Soon he discovers the plant likes bugs (and then frogs and dogs and cats but he draws the line at elephants). Eventually the plant wants to try a delicious woman, like in the pictures Henry has hanging in his room.

The movie begins as a sexually insatiable woman named Dexy implores her husband Nathan to find her "someone to play with," implying a polyamorous relationship. Immediately afterward, a man armed with a one-handed sledgehammer and a number of long spikes is engaged in hand-to-hand combat with a zombie, which he ultimately kills by overpowering it and driving a spike into its head with his hammer. His name is revealed to be 'Matool', a reference to the movie Zombi 2, as he has the same name as the island in the movie. He then sees another zombie approaching him, which appears to annoy him more than frighten him. He is also shown being extremely protective of his glasses, since zombies have overrun the world and he might find it difficult to acquire another pair.
