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.

tbh i wondered how messed up a film made in 1979 could be, but needless to say this film is fucked up.
Real Animal killing No thanks ! I’ll give it a massive swerve if you don’t mind.
second time watching, maybe the most hypocrticial film ever made? could rant about how far up its own arse it is for days. cool atmosphere though
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.
