When I saw Cannibal Holocaust I was sickened and disgusted. I could see the point the Director was making- juxtaposition of the twisted savages from tribes' people to film-maker - but did it have to be so graphic?? Perhaps the shock factor helped to make it's point, but each scene became increasingly gory, until I began to wonder how much more shocking the film could get. Either the acting is some of the best I've ever seen, or the 'actors' really are absolutely terrified.
Make no mistake, this is NOT a film you can just turn off when you've finished watching and go to bed with your cup of cocoa. It is without doubt the most graphically disturbing film I've ever seen (and I've seen a few), and is only to be watched if you can distance any kind of emotion you may be feeling from what you are seeing. I still can't believe it's legal.
I've given the film 5 stars not because I enjoyed it or ever want to see it again, but because it fulfilled it's purpose - to make this film one of (in fact probably) the most emotionally challenging films you'll ever see.

This is not the "complete version" as it states on the cover! This DVD release is a little more complete than the last UK DVD release but it is still cut. All of the animal killings (which I found the most horrific) were cut and most of the rape scenes were cut. The movie as it stands on this release is still pretty shocking. A mans penis is cut off, a womans fetus is pulled out (I think this scene is slighty cut) and then she is beaten to death, a mans leg is cut off because he is bitten by a spider, a man is forced to eat human liver. Many of the violent scenes have been left in but it just does'nt compare to its full uncut version. The BBFC obviously does'nt think that us adults, here in the UK, are mature enough to see the complete version of this movie.

This is a great film in its original form and can not be fully appreciated in its expurgated version, however judiciously edited. I feel somewhat patronised watching a film where the music soundtrack (which is excellent accompanying the brutal murder sequences with harrowing effect)is broken-up at times and thoroughly disjointed indicating that whole sections of the film have been removed. To add to this (if not already obvious signpost) plot points make little sense. My point is a simple one...why shouldn't mature adults over 18 be allowed to watch this film as the director intended it to be and judge it accordingly? Surely, some scenes will distress even the hardest of people, but this is not your average Saturday night material and anyone who buys this WILL ALREADY KNOW about its content! So good film...YES, good DVD presentation...YES, a chance to own possible the most disturbing visceral AND hauntingly beautiful horror film of all time...well, sadly NO! Sorry, but another black mark for the BBFC in my book.

Cannibal Holocaust is still as disturbing now as it was 30 years ago. This isn't a movie for the faint hearted. Yes the animal killings were unnecesary but i'm a firm believer that censorship should take place before the film is shot, not afterwards.I don't like animal violence but would've rather have had the uncut version released. This new "2011 Deodato re-edit" basically addresses some of the directors and the publics concerns and exorcises some of this material. Why not all you say? well thats anyone's guess, but the BBFC have NOT cut all the animal violence out, most are redited with scratchy film inserts obscuring shots and lengthy scenes have now been trimmed down. The turtle's death is still on here as the BBFC class this as "slaughter", so it being a quick death is deemed ok. The Muskrat killing is gone coz the BBFC classifield this as unnecessary cruelty. I don't miss these scenes particularly, i've seen them on the Grindhouse U.S edition anyway.

The new blu ray print looks superb. You can actually now see what a well made film this actually is. Ruggero Deodato is a superb director.

There are 2 documentaries each running about 40 mins. One has various critics and academics discussing the controversry on the film, the other has interviews with director Deodato and star Carl Yorke. Both are worth checking out.

...from the BBFC version.I promise,if you disregarded this as a dud,as I did after watching the pointless 18 cert BBFC offering then wait,put together this is easily the most disturbing film I have seen,it's horrific but not really a horror,no strange goings on in the dark,nothing like Fulci or Argento,Umberto Lenzi released Cannibal Ferox on the back of the success of Holocaust which upps the ante with some of the visual gruesome effects and similar animal deaths but is opportunistic and clumsy by comparison.Dedatos film is very different,I shifted uncomfortably ready to look away after about 20 mins until the end,the first 20 minutes seducing you into a false sense of security with Riz Ortolani's beautiful musical score playing over spectacular shot's of the sprawling rivers,lush greenery and exotic wildlife whick completely defy your expectations of such a notorious and luridly titled film.The documentary style in the way the film is presented is expertly done,smashing to bits the notion that The Blair Witch Project was an original idea,and making Bland Witch seem as menacing as a child brandishing a sawn off water pistol.That Deadato faced murder charges shortly after it's release as the Italian authorities actually seized copies of the film in the belief that the deaths on show really did happen,is testament to the realism of Holocaust.He had to prove in court that the film was fiction.The marrying of actual animal killings with extremely realistic and brutal staged human deaths and violence plays it's part,as well as the not inconsiderable feat of directing a real Amazonian tribe seamlessly along with the paid acting cast,this combination of factors tricks your brain into thinking everything is real,creating a quite unique sense of mounting dread and grim anticipation.Read more ›
