Quick Answer

What is Virgin Sacrifice about?

Virgin Sacrifice is a 1959 action film directed by Fernando Wagner about a white hunter in South America who must save a native woman he loves from being sacrificed by an evil tribe.

Programmer's Pick

Virgin Sacrifice delivers sun-baked exploitation straight from the mangrove swamps, complete with amulets, animal attacks, and a white hunter who’d rather dodge arrows than heartbreak. It’s all knife fights and cantina dancers until superstition threatens to turn love into a ritual.

Overview

Virgin Sacrifice thrusts viewers into the tangled wilds of South America, where a childhood trauma shapes the fate of an adventurer. Haunted by witnessing a virgin sacrifice as a boy, he vows never to allow such brutality again. Years later, this same adventurer finds himself confronting his greatest fear when a female friend is abducted by a hostile tribe, intent on repeating the same ritual. Fighting both the perils of the jungle and human cruelty, the film mixes action, superstition, and forbidden romance in a world where danger emerges as quickly as a jaguar from the underbrush. This is a blend of exploitation action and exotic adventure with a race against tradition.
