Cannibal Holocaust
Directed by Ruggero Deodato
A documentary crew get on the bad side of the cannibals they're filming in this gruesome exploitation classic. A researcher recovers footage a crew of filmmakers shot before they disappeared. But when he watches it, he sees horror far worse than he imagined. Made in 1979, but not released here until 1985, this controversial film quickly became a grindhouse smash. But it's biggest impact on horror is surely its innovative found-footage conceit, which led to the emergence of an entire subgenre in recent years. Vegetarians beware: the animal violence is very real.

Fucking brutal. Love this movie
CH is the OG of FF films. It is over-the-top in its portrayal of the “savages” but “that” is what makes the movie even more polarizing; in the fact that the real villains are the documentarians themselves. If you are a true Horror Fan you should consider this a “right-of-passage. ” All of US must witness the “genius” of FF story telling.
It's an old-school sexplotation film . with a good overall feeling to it. if the watcher can sit back and see it for what it is, it's a deep look at what is. You will find a just dessert ending along with the understanding of tribal social norms based on old understanding. if you are easily offended or forced sexual acts, leave too much of a sour flavor in your mouth. i don't recommend watching if you can stomach those, then it's an interesting movie i highly recommend .
Vile. Seriously vile. Don't watch if you can't handle what's in this movie. I watched out of curiosity because I was surprised to see it on Shudder. But holy hell this is tough to watch.
such a disgrace to cinema and humanity as a whole. from the animal cruelty to the pare scenes, overall just an abomination of a movie. even if you were to ignore all of those aspects of the movie it would still suck. the gore is meh and script is even worse. the director should've stayed in jail over this piece of crap imo
