Reviews from Letterboxd:

1. Lou (rhymes with wow!) – ★★★☆☆
   “A laughably bad cannibal flick courtesy of everyone’s favourite pervy uncle, Jess Franco. White Cannibal Queen honestly doesn’t deserve half the stars that I am giving it, but I find the level of incompetence on display hella charming. No amount of face paint will ever obscure the fact that these tribesmen are just a bunch of middle-aged Spanish dudes.”
2. Jon Peters – ★★★☆☆
   “For a brief moment, the Italian cannibal genre ate up everything… White Cannibal Queen falls somewhere in the middle, as Franco himself was quite dispassionate about the whole thing too.”
3. Fungi72 – ★★★☆☆
   “Tight story about a scientist who takes his wife and daughter on an expedition. They are attacked by cannibals and the daughter is kidnapped. The father escapes and returns many years later to find his daughter is now the ‘White goddess’ of the tribe.”
