Review of Cannibal Holocaust (1980) by Nwakego I — 19 Mar 2011

"The most disturbing thing i've ever seen" ~Eli Roth...and I couldn't agree anymore. Sometimes when the new stuff is getting old, you got to journey into the past in search of gold and I found it with this movie.

Not trying to be too bias in this review, I happen to be a fan of most 70's Italian Exploitation films. other ballsy directors I like are Lucio Fulci and Dario Argento, and RUGGERO DEODATO, the man behind Cannibal Holocaust whom also served a cameo in Hostel II.

These guys are not afraide of getting their hands dirty nor law suits up their asses since Deodato was sued for potential murder on his very realism style that was of Holocaust. With top gun acting by a very talented underrated group of actors whom soon starred in only a handful of later projects, ones by which they weren't big spotlights of appearances.

Not to mention the special FX that new film directors will wet themselves to. And amazingly, he was running off a low budget yet still made death scenes that looked more real than any top end CGI now days.

This movie is a must see, though forewarned, there is a ton of gore and this isn't a movie to see after or during lunchtime. Don't see this movie if you're easily squeamish or have a very low tolerance to violence and Rape.

Don't watch this movie if you hate surprises and ballsy plot twists. and most certainly, watch a few Friday The 13th movies to get prepared for this, well maybe that wouldn't be enough.
