Album Description:
The most controversial movie ever made has finally arrived on DVD! Banned and heavily censored throughout the world, here is a film that surpasses its reputation as a shotgun blast to the senses. CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST presents the 'found footage' of four documentary filmmakers who experience brutal death at the hands of a savage South American tribe of flesh-eaters. This footage is so intense, so graphic and so unflinching in its realism that the director and producer of CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST were arrested upon its original release and the film seized.

Average Rating: 
Rating: - Classic. Sergio Leone called it a masterpiece. Actually has a lot to say about "documentaries."
"Cannibal Holocaust" is notorious, to say the least. Some claim it's the most notorious film of all time. Upon its release, the director was arrested and Italian police began confiscating prints of the movie from theaters because a rumor had started that the film utilized real dead bodies. This is of course not the case, but was likely thought plausible due to the convincing special effects (such as the very realistic scene of the impaled girl) and the actual footage of several animals being killed and slaughtered onscreen. (One disturbing scene shows a native eating a monkey's face.)
Many of the reviews here will likely focus on the gore in the film, which, honestly, if you've scene any number of other cannibal or "junglesploitation" films, the gore in this movie is really nothing exceptional. Rather, it seems exceptional because, unlike other equally gory exploitation films, "Cannibal Holocaust" is actually a very well-made movie, which makes its gore more powerful and disturbing.
Let the reader be warned, however, that this is not to say this is not a gory film! For instance, the scene where the muskrat is stabbed oncreen is extremely upsetting and is liable to make one consider becoming a vegetarian. (What interests me is that viewers find such things disgusting and violently object when a real animal is killed in a movie, and yet, they eat meat! Do they not realize that whenever they eat a dish with meat in it that SOMEONE KILLED the animal they are eating! But I ... Read More
Rating: - THE MOVIE THAT MADE ME SAY...ITS ONLY A MOVIE..ONLY A MOVIE..ONLY A MOVIE!!!!
CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST will be a cheap exploitation film to some. And a complete grab your blanky and hot co-co to others(like me :)_ This starts off with a warning note on the movie you are about to see(a lot like another HORROR masterpiece did in 74)while the warning is being shown you are hearing some of the most HAUNTING music put to celluloid. We then are in a plane flying over the coffee like water of the Amazon(No! Not this Amazon) we then jump scenes to New York where a T.V.commentator is telling you the viewer that a so few hours flight can take you to the life of Cannibals(DA DA DUN) We are introduced to 4 very young and brave individuals who will fly to what they call the Green Inferno and document the lives of Cannibals(DA DA DUN)well they don't come back and a T.V. station hires a professor to find them with a search party. To make a long story short he finds cans of film and brings them back to N.Y. to view them. What he and the others(including you the viewer)see is truly HORRIFYING!!! I can only tell you this...I have a vast HORROR collection and no HORROR film has done to me what CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST has done! I'm not saying it is the grossest horror film,nor am I saying its the best horror film. But I will say their is a scene in this movie that made me pause the DVD and get up to go to the bathroom splash water on my face and say YOUR O.K. Clint c'mon just actors having a good time"COUGH"get a hold of yourself...Thats a good lad. If you are looking for blood,blood,BLOOD! Then ... Read More
