Cannibal Holocaust (1980)

Cannibal Holocaust

June 19, 1985

Adventure, Horror

Rated X

Director: Ruggero Deodato

Rating: One Thumb Up

This film is truly a disturbing film. I've called some films disturbing before (Saló, A Serbian Film, Butcher Boys), but those films have nothing on this film in the disturbance it has. I found myself covering my eyes a few times while watching this film.

After the disappearance of a former film crew, a different film crew journey into the jungles of the Amazon to find out what happened with the other crew, and to research a suspected tribe of cannibals in the rain forest. Well, needless to say, they got what they were looking for....and much more. 

I found out about this movie reading Scene Magazine. It was listed as one of the top 30 scariest films of all time. In all due respect, this film is not scary at all. It's just mad insane. This film gets very unsettling and uneasy. It's not easy at all to watch this film, and is definitely not for the faint of heart. BUT....like every other screwed up movie I recommend, I recommend this movie as well.

Peace.
