Cannibal Holocaust ( 1980).

This is the controversial and notoroius Italian documentary-esque horror adventure shocker from Ruggero Deoato about these New York documentary filmmakers who are searching in the South American jungles to find lost footage from a filmmaker but finds cannibals.

It's a very morbid, realistic, immoral and fascinating film that assuaults your senses with dark images like cannibalism, impalments, gore, and of course real actual animals getting slaughtered like a large turtle getting it's shell ripped open to be cooked.

Sure it's hard to watch but i highly recommend it to anyone who likes foreign horror and the genre but not for the faint of heart! it's coming on DVD October 25th.

For those who seen the movie, since the animals in the movie were actually killed in the movie, do you think it's just plain wrong to kill real animals on film that are not make-up or puppet effects?

The animals are long dead and eaten. End of story. Last thing we need is some PETA looney come crashing on the film. btw in another thread I posted some info on the dvd. The original DVD cover for this edition has been banned. They're working on a different cover. Here is what it would had looked like:

Keep in mind the animals were primarily killed for food, they decided that they would film killing the animals just for an added bonus type thing, the animals would have died regaurdless of whether or not it was filmed.

Same here. I think a lot of people just are against this movie in general, and are finding any reason they can to try and keep it from getting a wide DVD release.

Arrow Pfft

Saw it, loathed the bastard students for being the vile pieces of human filth that they are, and I still cant get the images out of my mind.

If you like people being beaten to death with blunt axe like stones, then this is a treat for you.

I was not dissappointed that the students got what they had coming.

I am a member of PETA and although I chose to fast forward through the animal deaths, I recognize that they were executed as means for survival and I can understand that. They did not prolong the death of the animals in any way. They had to eat to survive.

Not everyone is the idealized tree licking liberal prostitute some of you are calling PETA members out to be.

I think it is important for me to watch moves like this to prevent myself from ignoring what happens all over the world. You have to expose yourself to things of all sorts, otherwise you end up being a sheltered little snot. I am glad I watched this movie, so that I know exactly how NOT to treat people I dont understand. That is clearly the moral and the purpose of the story.

Cheers,

redheadeddeath

Funny enough, I've recently found out about this title because I was getting into those Gore Horror type movies and found out it was banned! But I've seen that other ex-banned horror gore movies were recently release. Hopefully this on comes out here soon. I'd love to check these Italian horror movies that were released too.

The movie did inspired "The Blair Witch Project" did you know that? and i think this was inspired by "Faces of Death" same kind of subject matter.

I highly doubt that "Cannibal Holocaust" inspired TBWP. I mean, all the influence that movie had was from "The Last Broadcast". As for "Faces of Death", if you mean extremely fake deaths, sure.

Well, Blair Witch has almost exactly the same style as CH, I wouldn't write off the possibility of it being inspired by holocaust.
