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.

Look I get that it’s the first found footage film but the on screen animal violence and the exploitation in this movie is kinda too much even for the time. Don’t get me wrong I’m an avid viewer of horror from the universal monsters to the mind fuck of creepy horror films of today but this movie is just violence for the sake of violence. Plus trying to give the message of “who’s the real savage? The natives or the explorers” has been done well in other works. I watched it because of its horror significance (plus it was on Joe Bob Briggs) and that’s all.
A classic and it's brutal. Don't watch if you're vegan.
The one and only :D Great romp on the wild side. . .
Good movie
The cannibal film that shock the world and was banned in so many countries.
