Deep River Savages (1972)

Ivan Rassimoff is a photographer who while in Thailand kills someone and heads off to hide in the junglr. He is held captive by a tribe of savages and eventually becomes accepted by them and forms a relationship with the chief's daughter.
Notable as the first of the Cannibal sub-genre, it actually fetures very little cannibalism, but what is there is pretty gory. It features the romance between the the two leads far more. It's a well made film but lacks any depth. Still, it looks nice. There's a longer version with extended scenes of animal mutilations, but that's something I can live without.
