One of the most violent and the sickest movies ever made. Cannibal Holocaust is one of the most violent Horror films in the early times and one of the first found footage movies before the Paranormal Activity films and The Blair Witch Project.

Cannibal Holocaust has a simple and intriguing plot about an anthropologist who visits the South American Jungle to find a group of missing students and what he find is a lost video tape of the missing team making a documentary about the Cannibalistic tribes that reveals their true intentions on what they did with the people in the South American Jungle.

This film is absolutely sick and insane and it's one of the early video nastiest since Evil Dead. This film is really sick and if you have a really weak stomach don't watch it you'll just end up vomiting too much in the toilet once you watch this film.

Cannibal Holocaust has a lot of cruel and violent themes that really turned into one of the first video nastiest along with Evil Dead and this movie is seriously sick and insane from start to finish. It has a lot of exploitation themes as well and the movie is full of heavy on screen violence and outrageous gore and graphic violence as well.

The movie itself is really extreme and disgusting to watch. This movie has a lot of nasty sequences even when the violence hasn't started yet there are lots of gruesome and vile plus disgusting scenes that instantly makes viewers nauseate really bad and it can also make viewers collapse on the ground as well due to the nature of the film.

What I do like about Cannibal Holocaust is that the entire film is disturbing and really icky from start to finish and it really makes the movie look good plus this film has loads of animal cruelty scenes like the slaughtering of the turtle, the stabbing and ripping of the rat like animal, the stabbing of the spider and the stabbing of the snake oh and let's not forget the killing of the pig as well which really makes the movie turn into a video nasty and it really got banned in several countries due to it's cruel and disgusting nature.

The violence in this film is seriously overwhelming and it will make you cringe as well. Every violence in this movie is seriously overwhelming from start to finish and this movie has so many nasty and gory scenes that will make you vomit from start to finish.

Each scene really shows the cruelty of nature and it's graphic violence and gore seriously shows the violence of nature and it instantly makes viewers feel sick so far. I do remember the scenes in this film the scene where one of the members dies after getting bitten by a snake and in order to save the person they mainly chop off his toe and then they chop off his leg that scene looks realistic and hard to watch because of how graphic that scene goes.

I also remember the scene when the Cannibal people are doing a ritual and what they did is that they hit the girl in the head with a heavy rock that is one of the most violent scenes in the movie and I almost forgot the scene where the group killed another cannibal member by stabbing her with a long stick and we see her body in the stick where she's impaled and stuck through that scene is really icky and nasty oh and let's not forget the last part when the last two filmmakers are killed by the Cannibals the ending of that scene is really the most bizarre and the most violent scene in the film so far and the violence in this movie is really heavy as well.

Now the acting is good in the movie so far all of the casts in this film are really good with their performance in the film so far and they really did a good job with their performances in the film so far.

Director Ruggero Deodato is one sick director and he really did a good job with his directing with this movie and he's like Director Lucio Fulci only that Ruggero Deodato is more sick than Lucio Fulci because Ruggero Deodato's film shows the violence and cruelty of nature not only he showed the extreme violence in the film but he also showed the cruelty and violence of nature and Lucio Fulci is different to this man because Mr Fulci's movies show a lot of graphic violence and gore but some of his movies also show various nasty sequences which makes his movie look good as well.

I felt bad that Ruggero Deodato was sent to jail because his movie showed various things about the cruelty and violence of nature and all the people think that the actors in the film died but at least Ruggero Deodato was released from Jail because the casts appeared in a late show so that Ruggero Deodato can be released in Jail and it was good that he's alright.

I also heard that Ruggero Deodato appeared in Hostel Part II as a Cannibal eating his victims in a cameo role and I should probably watch Hostel Part II so that I can see his performance in the film and I'm interested too see him in that film so far.

Overall Cannibal Holocaust gets a 10/10 because this is one of the most violent movies ever made with lots of disturbing themes.
