Cannibal Holocaust

I think the most horrible of all, is that the turtle scene is real, I absolutely HATE when they hurt animals for "entertainment" and the lack of respect of the director for the life of the animals in the movie is just disgusting.

This movies just shows how sick and disgusting White people can be also, which is why I loved the end quote because honestly I don't think the villagers did anything wrong. Eye for an eye is what some people may call it, or just plain karma. They had no business infringing, raping, and destroying this village...let them be and that's that!! And yet people still wonder why Native people are still pissed off at Europeans coming to Turtle Island(North America), because they killed and raped the people and destroyed their villages simply because they lack RESPECT of other cultures. Let them be!!

Not to say it was a bad movie, but it wasn't THE movie. Simply put, I believe director Ruggero Deodato tried a little too hard to make a masterpiece, and so the film suffers from outrageous amounts of debauchery. The viewer leaves disturbed rather than pondering, and as the film itself frankly reveals its theme ("who are the real savages?"), this could be considered a major blunder on the director's part. The only reason I took an interest in this movie was to see what all the fuss was about, and I can at least say it did not disappoint. I wouldn't say in this day and age that most of us couldn't stomach the film, but that doesn't stop it from being exceptionally gruesome and nauseating. I've copied and placed below the link from IMDB's parent guide; it gives a very detailed insight on what to expect. h t t p ://w w w.imdb.com/title/tt0078935/parentalguide All in all, it was an alright movie, but I wouldn't say anyone's missing out on not seeing it. If you want to see a real compelling movie with an undercurrent of offensiveness, I would suggest Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange. Otherwise, don't watch this film expecting to leave enlightened, just disturbed. I wouldn't call it a scary movie as much as unsettling. There were several real animals crudely killed in this film. The audience gets a closeup in the scenes, and on a personal note, I would say that's what was the most horrifying; the lengths this film goes to make its point, and yet not stop to reevaluate itself.

This maybe the most disturbing film in history. I ordered the uncut version from amazon because I live in the UK and it is banned in the UK. The turtle scene was absolutley horrifying. The greatest horror film ever made. BE WARNED: EASILY DISTURBED - DO NOT WATCH IT!!!!!!!!

i have always been a fan of strange and unusual horror movies, if a horror movie appears too fake,- it doesn't do anything for me, but some movies make you sit and take notice,,,,this is one of those movies, it starts out kinda cheesey, but stick with it, it will run a chill up your spine and make you wonder if it was for real, you DON'T want children to watch this movie, it is disturbing, but if you are a friend of gore type movies,- then you should enjoy this movie.

While this film is grotesque (you will certainly be disturbed), it also has something important to say about media, and sensationalism. It questions who are the real cannibals. It considers our society, specifically the media as being the savages, rather than the cannibals themselves. It is thought provoking, and a powerful visceral experience, but definitely not a film for everyone.
