Review of Cannibal Holocaust (1980) by Nick Schager for Lessons of Darkness — 29 Aug 2005
The director’s grim commitment to shocking his audience is fanatical to the point of being enthralling, as he dramatizes one bit of extreme, rancid cruelty after another for little reason other than to turn viewers’ stomachs.
It’s far from a noble goal, but there’s no denying its effectiveness.
