Review of Cannibal Holocaust (1980) by Matthew F — 26 Dec 2009

Surviving the length of this film is a difficult task because of how truly gruesome it can be--an honest vivid though cultural shocking depiction (may seem surreal to most viewers) of cannabalistic tribes in the amazon jungle aka the green inferno.

Cannibal Holocaust's integrity stems from its realism that transcends the unease you may be used to from other horror films--never afraid to add that extra depth by the actual murder of life, this film can easily break your innocence.

I would not suggest this for anyone who is easily disturbed and does not have an open mind for experimental film of quality that I've prior mentioned.

I love the musical score of the film; a unique quality that absolutly frightened me--reminiscent to some of the dungeon symphony that the artist Mortiis composed in albums such as: Stargate.

I personally found the film to be absolutely beautiful from a storytellers perspective; I was offered everything I didn't expect from a horror film.
