I like them both but to be fair I've seen Ferox more than Holocaust. So I'm kinda of more sided to Ferox.For those of you that own Nightmare City on DVD. Check the interview that Lenzi gave. He clearly says he was trying to top Deodato's Cannibal Holocaust.
Yep, and he failed miserably. I've seen ferox once and don't plan on watching it again.
As I said, the gore was kinda neat, but blatantly fake and it was more or less a rip off of Holocaust. (Castration scene that wasn't nearly as good or believable as holocaust, the animal death scenes that were painfully amatuerish, at one point when an animal is supposed to fall from a tree you actually can see a prop mans arm within the shot holding the animal, then dropping it.)
Holocaust had some great social commentary as well, whereas ferox had a similar message but was not nearly as potent in it's portrayal of it.
Oh, and the music in Holocaust was outstanding, some of the best music I've heard in a horror film.
Holocaust is in so much better, while it does have some unwelcome animal death, it’s a structured and sad movie which does deliver a strong message all be it in a some what twisted way! Ferox is nasty cheap rubbish with no redeeming factors at all and even more Unnecessary animal death to try and add shock value because the movie itself is so lame!
