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.

With real animals being killed in this film, I just cannot recommend it, a gross and outright disturbing watch, I am watching this once and never again
Without doubt, the worst 'movie' that i have had the misfortune to experience in my lifetime. But I did watch this to the end, fascinated in how they would close off this 'masterpiece'. Suffice to say they exceeded my expectations of a non event, 3 things more horrific than the real life dismemberment of animals: the acting, the directing, the screenplay.
a struggle to get through, a lot of scenes containing absolutely heinous acts yet they do not progress the story in the slightest, this movie is the definition of gratuitous. the scenes in New York with the professor seemed like the only scenes with actual story development with the professor being the beam of hope throughout. Do not watch it if you have a weak stomach.
Yeesh 😬
this might be the best horror ever made.
