That's all I have to say. Just thought I'd share. It is a good film. Obviously a classic. I saw it at a midnight showing recently, but once I watched the gore and the unsettling imagery in its entirety I decided I never wanted to eat meat again.

I reluctantly decided to watch the infamous 'Cannibal Holocaust', and I found it to be every bit as shocking as people make out. It was by far the most uncomfortable experience I've ever had watching a film. From the sickening violence and killings to the torturing of animals and graphic rape scenes, this film is as morally low as they come.'Cannibal Holocaust' is not art - it's not even entertainment. How can anybody enjoy watching a coati being repeatedly stabbed as it screams in pain? Or a turtle being decapitated and then pulled to pieces? It makes for an extremely unpleasant and uncomfortable viewing experience. Unfortunately, it's also an unforgettable one, so watch at your peril.

This movie was in no way aided by the amount of gore and animal torture included in it. And for anyone using the excuse that "it happens" and "what about factory farming" need to stop. Rape, murder, and cannibalism all happen as well, but they were able to depict those actions realistically without harming any humans. Factory farming is wrong. That is correct. Not sure why that makes hacking the head off a screaming in fear defenseless monkey okay. Oh right, because some sicko will pay to watch it. I'd call this snuff for snobs: 1.5 hours of aninal torture and rape with a plot and script to make it digestible.

This movie is just downright appalling, not for it's content but just the fact I can't believe a movie like this even exists, and here I am trying to review it... like what am i supopsed to say. First things first, I fail to believe there are tribes out there that are actually like this because this movie fails to provide any solid proof of real life existence. Now lets talk about the content... this film contains:Multiple animals being killed on screen purposely for this film. Rape scenes and torture scenes for no REAL reason whatsoever. Nudity and sex just for audience appeal. Naked children (yes and lots of them too). Actors who you would swear the director just dragged out of 10th grade. I found out the director actually used a heap of prostitutes from a local brothel in one scene so there you go I guess... Combine all this with the worst concepts in the history of film from one of the worst directors in the history of film and there you go. Cannibal Holocaust in a nutshell.I don't care if this review gets nothing but negative points, it only makes sense due to this being such a negative and abysmal film. If you're a sick minded, bloodthirsty moron who likes dehumanization, this is the film for you. if you're a normal person like me, you will probably feel the same way.I just cannot fathom what the director was thinking wanting to make this film, what a sick pathetic joke of a film maker he is...
