Exploring Cinema's Most Controversial Horror Movie

The girl on the pike please tell me that’s fake that looked insanely real!

I see the 2 groups as savages
Defending yourself is one thing but going nom nom mode on another person is pretty savagery

The Green Inferno is better.

I can't stand dubbing.

Honestly, all I remember from this film was a person full-body impaled on a stake, and that's only because of stills online. I saw this in my teens, and it didn't leave any lasting impression.

As disgruntled as the cast was, they did show up in court to prove that the film wasn't snuff.

Cannibal holocaust,serbian film and Matrys are crimes to humanity

I think this is an interesting piece of film history, and I think the way they approached the subject matter they dealt with is unique. But I definitely got a sense that the director was a massive asshole

You might say, Deodato exploited exploitation cinema.

I'd love to see this

Christ this movie was fucking lame. Even setting aside the exploitative methods and the animal cruelty, it's just not very good. The line readings all feel forced as fuck, the main character is buffeted around like a piece of fluff on a summer breeze (yeah, sure buddy, intervene in the corrective rape after it happens, real helpful), and the only people who are remotely interesting have no intelligible lines and aren't even credited.

Also, regarding the muskrat, that's an idiot's idea of how to kill your dinner - if you give the animal time to understand it's going to die its adrenaline will poison the meat. So the director is multiple kinds of stupid.

I think you missed a huge detail here – the Yanomamo people "depicted" in Cannibal Holocaust are real. They are mistreated and displaced to this day and Deodato casting them as crazed cannibals is just salt in the wound.

It's interesting where we draw the line on animal cruelty. Apocalypse Now showed the real slaughter of a water buffalo for actual ritual (and food I assume) purposes.
I'd like to believe that the only distinction is intent (the water buffalo's death was incidental to the movie), but I think we're largely factoring in artistic value – when John Waters accidentally kills a chicken, it's just seen as filth.
I don't know if we should rope something so vague and subjective as art into our consideration of animal life. Seems like a conflict of values.

If you don't like it then shut your f**** mouth

Well....living in New York is obviously superior to being a cannibal

I once read someone say about "Cannibal Holocaust": "You'll watch this movie for the first time, and you'll want to watch it again...but you never will." I bought the DVD, watched the movie for the first time, wanted to see it again for its' sheer audacity and uncompromising nature, can't even stick it back in the DVD player. It's the Grand-daddy of all f'd up films. At least I still have The Shining to worship.

Am I the only one who noticed that his wallpaper got more and more zoomed in thru out the video?

The director: I will make a film that critiques the sensationalization of violence in documentaries and in the news media

Also the director: Yo lets kill some animals for realsies then put a bunch of people in legitimate danger by shoving them in a hut we'll set on fire

Fuck Cannibal Holocaust and fuck Deodato

For the love of god, please learn how to pronaunce "however". Its HOWever, not "hoyever".

Animals are here to be killed.

One of the best movies on earth, great film!

why talk about defend?
its just a movie that tries to get shock from the viewer

I really do think that to a point, that this movie makes a great point in how we think we are the more civilizated and greater of human life. Even though, deep inside we aren't all that different then what we think as brutal savages. Also, I really like the so called savages takes their sweet and justice like revenge on the film crew.

Just googled what snuff films are…… i need a minute

Still my favorite movie.

i have just three words, if you'll forgive me: fuck...this...movie!

I cannot recommend the Cursed Films documentary on Shudder enough. Turns out the trial for murder is absolute garbage. Never happened. The cast has a lot of negative things to say about the film, in particular the animal killings. It's a short watch coming in around 50 minutes. It's still slimy and exploitative as Hell, but seeing a lot of the "legend" of it get disproved is interesting, to say the least.

I saw this on a first date lol

I watched this film and as an avid hunter I knew immediately those were real animal deaths. It did admittedly give the second half violence more realism in my mind so job well done, you psychopath.

I watched this finally a couple of years ago as well as a couple of the other main cannibal movies from the time. Two things....the soundtrack for this movie is amazing. The other is that the 'cannibals' are the 'good guys' in all the movies. They are just doing their thing when westerners come along thinking they know better.

The fucking movie Zulu treated the natives better than this shit

It is possible for a film to be horribly exploitative, shamelessly brutal and rightly disreputable immoral in other words and still have elements of artistic brilliance, even historical significance. Cannibal Holocaust is the Triumph Of The Will or Birth Of A Nation of sleazy genre movies

This is a bad movie which until lately was one of my favorites, then finally unnumbed because of the despicable animal cruelty and bts horror stories, I started to see his flaws. It's hard to admitting, but still entertaining, minus the obvious.

You look like thom yorke

I watched this movie up to the killing the little monkey rat, I couldn’t stand the screaming and blood from the creature.

The animal cruelty aside this is a very smart film and of a different calibre from the other cannibal films of the same era.

The fact this video didn’t get 5 million views years ago is scary. ❤

I know we shouldn't speak ill of the dead... but fuck Deodato, man. I can say that with my whole chest, that guy sucked.

Great Movie , also Banned in Germany . 🤘👍🔨

EXCELLENT REVIEW,

I got this recommended to me almost exactly after watching this movie which was absolutely vile, disgusting and horrible.

This not the first found footage the first was Came Before: The Connection in 1961

I like the movie it aint as bad as saló lol i feel like people hate on this to much

The first 20 seconds was already the cringiest shit I've ever heard

i love that the message of the movie is of critique of western hypocrisy (colonialism among other things) and this comment section is all triggered westerners whining about animals being killed while likely ordering burgers on grubhub every day in their comfortable homes. The turtle was food for the natives, there just happened to be a camera rolling while it got killed this time. Their lifestyle is 100 times more eco-friendly then ours.

I watched this movie on an illegal streaming site and there was no video quality option for it anywhere so I had to sit through it in its mighty pixelated glory. At first I felt kinda bummed about it but after finishing it I felt like I just dodged a bullet, I wouldn't have had the stomach to finish it with a quality over 480p

I have most of the banned cannibal films. 'apocalypse' has to be one of the better ones. I got a copy of 'ferox' but it is so heavily censored it can hardly be called a horror film anymore.
I like what Eli (Roth) was doing with 'green inferno' which was a tribute to these films, but part of me felt he was still trying to hard to impress Quinton.

please upload the Hindi dubbed
