I promise you that you will NEVER find a more unsettling and graphic movie than "Cannibal Holocaust".It's that kind of movie that viewers, including myself, must send a warning to any other person before they view that film.All of the rumors about this film that you may have heard are all true.I can't recommend it as a film for someone looking for it to be a campy gorefest.It's a gorefest, but it definitely isn't campy.The director is very serious with the material that he put in the movie.He actually went to the Amazon where nobody could stop him so he could film actual animals being killed in grotesque and grizzly fashions.A muskrat is gutted alive and is seen squealing and kicking.A turtle is decapitated and has its breastplate cut open where you can see the guts, even the heart is still seen beating.A monkey has its face cut off with a machete and has its head bashed and brains eaten.A piglet is shot in the head.Let's not forget the rape scenes.This film has the kinda rape scenes that even "The Last House On the Left" couldn't have made more graphic and disturbing.If there's anything, anything at all, in this ugly movie thats beautiful, its the soundtrack.The song at the beginning and end of the movie is just fascinating in a haunting and creepy kinda way.Despite the grisly nature of the movie, "Cannibal Holocaust" is a very well-made and entertaining movie.It's shock value should definitely be taken in for credit of the movie because the director did not believe in censorship when it comes to filming the disgusting things that happen in this film.
Let this be a warning: This is a very good movie and should be seen, but view it at your own risk.
