No one cared thus far. Do you?

AKA: Ruggero Deodato’s Cannibal Holocaust
Year: 1980
Directed by: Ruggero Deodato
Starring: Robert Kerman (Prof. Monroe), Gabriel Yorke (Alan), Francesca Ciardi (Faye), Luca Giorgio Barbareschi (Mark), Perry Pirkanen (Jack)
Country: Italy, European Cinema
Language: English (Optional Eng Subs for foreign parts)
Runtime: 01:36:02
Genres: Cannibalism, Violence against Men, Rape-Sexual-Violence against Women, Gore-Gruesome-Splatter, Torture, Violence Against-Relationships with Animals

Plot – Spoilers:
A crew of four cocky documentary makers who routinely push the boundaries of journalistic ethics head deep into the Amazonian rain forests to film undiscovered cannibal tribes. We pick up from them having gone missing, and so an anthropologist, Prof. Monroe is commissioned by the broadcasting corporation that financed the project, to follow the missing crew’s trail and uncover what came of them.

Monroe has a couple of guides to help him and they begin by making contact with the Yacumo tribe who are relatively benign compared to the fierce and cannibalistic Swamp People and Tree People whom Monroe believes might be responsible for the crew’s unknown fate.

As we follow the mission, we’re lavished with copious scenes of animal torture and brutal sexual violence as Monroe’s rescue team uncovers darker aspects about the missing filmmakers and the cannibal tribes.

Cannibal Holocaust pretty much pioneered the concept of found-footage in films and is a true masterpiece by any standard with great music, though its shock-value has often detracted from this truth.

Director Ruggero Deodato was actually arrested in Italy soon after Cannibal Holocaust’s release following claims that he had made a snuff movie. One of the major issues related to the infamous impalement scene and allegations that actors had been killed on location.

My first cannibal movie: Spectacular plotline, convincing acting, didn’t think the animal cruelty was that bad, i feel like maybe people overhyped those scenes. overall an 8-8.5/10

Nah but wtf was that corny ass ending “I wonder who the real cannibals are.” what a shit way to end a movie after all the shit i just watched just to deal with that. That line was by far the hardest thing to deal with in the entire movie.

The rape scenes were just so unnecessary. Like, I get it, they’re savages. But is everyone in this movie a savage?
And the gore is actually very impressing. Though some looked obviously fake, the impalement and dismembering scenes actually made me think that they were dead, for real. They look more realistic than most recent horror movies, lol. To think that this was made more than 40 years ago is kinda crazy.
I liked the story overall, nothing TRULY revolutionary, but it was nice seeing Prof. Monroe getting along with the tribe. Liked the music too.
As a Brazilian girl, I enjoyed this. I actually expected more from the gore itself – it was shocking to watch, but it’s not TERRIFIC as people says. There are some sensitive people here and there, but come on. It’s 2023, let’s just grow up.
6/10.

Unfortunately, this is the result of the education system in democrat run cities. mars.all happens to be a college graduate but is just slightly more intelligent than a 2nd grade student who can barely struggle out ebonics phrases. More bad news – tax payers have paid over $300,000 dollars for mars.all’s education and he/she/it is being groomed for a high level position in the Biden administration. mars.all has been shouting “Fuck the 4th” all weekend and believes that anyone who wants to Make America Great Again is an unpatriotic asshole. What is frightening is that the majority of people agree with mars.all, the fucking retard. (mars.all is secretly that bug-eyed retard Lori Lightfoot, the one that all the democrats jack off to).

On an educational note. I am currently reading a book on electronics: Make electronics, Charles Platt but struggle because it is written in American English and although I am a native English speaker I sometimes find it difficult to follow. Rediculous but true.
I wonder if the US education system started failing once Webster took hold of its language and made it too basic. This meant even the most retarded individual could succeed and breed.
Not sure what Websters politics was and not sure it matters.
As for the book even though I stuggle I have to admit it is a very good text book to learn from.

“That says to me that the people who are acting so brazenly have no not only no respect for themselves, but they don’t have respect for the institution like the police department, who men and women every single day on every watch, are literally risking life and limb for our safety,”
“But toxicity in our public discourse is a thing that I think we should all be concerned about, right?”
“That’s the thing I think that concerns me the most about what we’re seeing, really over the arc of these last two years- I get it. People are angry. They are frustrated. And they’re fearful,” Lightfoot said. “But we can’t let those things mean that we lose sight of each other’s humanity. We’ve got to find a common sense and a purpose.”
“Every single person has a role to play in healing the wounds that are plaguing us in our country. And I just pray every single day that each of us will stand up and have that bravery of self and soul to do what is right in this moment. Because we desperately need that kind of healing,”

Direct quotes from the bug-eyed retard Lori Lightfoot, the democrats dream lay, one week after saying “Fuck Clarence Thomas.”

Now is the time for you retards to decide – do you really want the democrats to keep ripping you off? You woke fucking retards?

The best! If you don’t usually watch gory movies and is curious to know, watch this one. It’s surprising how such a good movie you can find from such a crappy genre. The movie is beautiful and grotesque at the same time, a true masterpiece. It has a very important lesson to teach if you’re smart enough to catch it. 5/5 no doubt.

Suicide rates increased 30% between 2000–2018, and declined in 2019 and 2020. Suicide is a leading cause of death in the United States,3 with 45,979 deaths in 2020. This is about one death every 11 minutes.3 The number of people who think about or attempt suicide is even higher. In 2020, an estimated 12.2 million American adults seriously thought about suicide, 3.2 million planned a suicide attempt, and 1.2 million attempted suicide.4

Suicide affects all ages. In 2020, suicide was among the top 9 leading causes of death for people ages 10-64. Suicide was the second leading cause of death for people ages 10-14 and 25-34.3

If you’re looking for just a good fucked up, gory movie, Cannibal Holocaust is your all around winner. While I wouldn’t necessarily group it as horror or psychological horror (as those have more substance to the story), I would categorize it as disturbing.
It was incredibly messed up with the countless rape scenes and brutalization and murder of animals (which were all real kills, not staged) and I would recommend this movie only if you’re looking for something that’ll make you want to turn your head but reels you back in with the gore.

the cannibals/cannibalism is by far the least “horrifying” aspect of this film. I’d say that the MAJOR pacing issues detracted from the weight of the actual horror of the second half, which is disappointing. There was a lot of room for terror/dread here that was missed, they instead wanted to shock, which, at least for me, was boring. Seems weird to call this boring, but there it is, I found it to be quite a BORE. 2.5/10.

So I have heard so much about this movie. One thing I noticed is it is said there is animal torture. This is not true at all. Have any of you ever been on a farm or in much of the real world at all? Where do you think your food comes from? People have to eat. They humanly kill each animal in this movie. There is no torture involved. Nerves kept the turtles legs moving after they cut off it’s head. It’s bizarre and sad the director got animal abuse charges, but they probably just did that to show they were doing something about this guy. Like one of the comments above, you are quite the unique cupcake if you were offended by the animal deaths in this. The world is full of love spitting dipshits now in days. As kids you should be forced to behead a duck at least once to understand the sacrifice creatures make for you. The funny thing is that we are much nicer in our kills than other animals.

i think it depends on the point of why the animal is killed. if it’s done humanely for food then that’s very different to just killing animals for fun, or even for the point of making a film. the animal deaths were unnecessary imo

Yeah, it relly detracts from it in my opinion. Like I would love to be able to argue for the art, but I think there should be limits, and this movie crossed them.

Saying meaningful things doesn’t justify acting against those same motives. Not to mention the treatment of the people on set was pretty awful, Ryan Hollinger has a decent video on it.

Was okay, definitely wasn’t as bad or good as some have said about the film. The graphic content was over the top but that being said, the over use of sexual violence was boring and the overall feeling of desperation and cruelty made for a good ride. I think from an artistic stand point it’s worth a watching. 4/10
