Review of Cannibal Holocaust (1980) by Sylvester K — 23 Sep 2015

Shot as a mondo film, Cannibal Holocaust remains as one of the most disturbing movies ever made and has inspired the found footage genre. The plot concerns a group of film-makers gone missing in the Amazon and the footage found that documented the last days of their lives when they encountered primitive tribes.

The main selling point was the iconic "human stake" scene that was so real that people thought it was a snuff film in Italy. Other than that, most of the violence were done to the animals. The make up and special effects were so incredible even by today's standard but the gore was pretty fake sadly. It's not a film that you would want to watch again.
