Review of Cannibal Holocaust (1980) by Kuehnau — 18 Jan 2019
Cannibal Holocaust is a "horror" film in the exploitation genre of films. In it, four people go deep within the Amazon in order to study and research local cannibal tribes.
After two months, when they don't come back, a rescue party is sent in order to find and save them, only to discover they are dead, but the rescue crew manages to recover their footage.
Cannibal Holocaust is a slow, boring film. I imagine, at the time of it's release, the thing that stood out most was the controversy of the film, it's gore and it's real animal violence. Besides that, there's nothing outstanding about the film. And considering it's almost impossible to find a complete uncut version of the film, it's unlikely people will be able to experience what the original film actually was.
Give this a hard pass.
