“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds."

Primitives (1980)
aka Savage Terror, aka Primitif
This is an Indonesian knock-off of the Italian "go in search of cannibals and regret it" films. It's available on DVD in "Tales of Voodoo Vol. 2" though it has nothing to do with voodoo. There's a lot of animals killed - there are the requisite wild animal attacks before they encounter cannibals - and no nudity, but otherwise it's just like every other film where Europeans play "primitive" by dancing and speaking gobbledygook. The gore is modest and mediocre and there's nothing else to recommend it, except some interesting music score choices; Kraftwerk is strangely out of place.
