OVERALL: Draw

Between both R0 releases from Severin Films for offering the uncut version of the film, in its original aspect ratio, with an Anamorphic transfer and an interview.

General note: This movie is not to be confused with Jess Franco's similar movie from the same year, "Cannibals AKA Mondo cannibale (1980)".
CUTS:
- R0 America- Severin Films - No cuts (~102min NTSC).
  Restored from the original Spanish negative and presented uncut and uncensored, with its original Spanish title "El Canibal".
  "Severin's "The Devil Hunter" is at least 10 minutes longer than any version I've seen and now has the feel of a fullscale Eurosleaze Epic. Besides the previously blocked out footage at the beginning (EDIT: the opening scene which was covered by the opening credit cards in the late 1980s TWE video) there's a lot of extra nude native dancing with Franco's telezoom exploring the exposed genitalia of the black dancer and Ms Buchfeller. There's even one shot, through the spread legs of native leader Claude Boisson revealing that he didn't wear any underwear beneath his native shirt. Too much information! The final struggle between the nude black cannibal and Al Cliver is also longer. There is also some extended dialogue in various scenes."
  Special thanks to Robert Monell and his I'm In A Jess Franco State Of Mind blog for this information.
- R0 America- Video Asia - Yes.
  Several gore sequences have been cut and digital censoring has been performed. The opening credits have also been cut and the bottom of the image masked off, probably to cover subtitles.
