The horrors of war
take on a whole new meaning for Vietnam vet Norman Hopper. His quiet domestic
life in Atlanta is shattered by the return of Charlie Bukowski, a combat
buddy who dredges up terrifying flashbacks of flesh eating and bloodshed
in the war-torn Vietnamese jungles. Now on the run from the law after
taking a bite out of an unsuspecting victim in a movie theater, Charlie
begs Norman to help him get out of town with another fellow veteran. Soon
the ragtag team of cannibals are fighting for their lives, spreading a
deadly contagion through the city before heading into the sewers for a
gut-wrenching climax.
After contributing
to the major blood-n-gore sequences in Frank Agrama's DAWN
OF THE MUMMY (1980), Italian director Antonio Margheriti (here
billed as Anthony M Dawson) took his crew to America for this film.
Determined to deliver a unique 'gut-munching' shocker without relying
on the tired (yet-popular) zombie genre, Margheriti managed to bring a
fresh story of cannibalism to the screen. APOCALYPSE DOMANI (Apocalypse
Tomorrow) was heavily censored in most countries, released under a variety
of titles from CANNIBALS IN THE STREETS to INVASION OF THE FLESH HUNTERS.
This is the fully uncut English language International print, running
