i would like to know the flim about Cannibal Holocaust 1980. I know it's horrid. But how horrid?

Question

If u have watched e film, please describe to me. It's very interesting. Also, is it a true story?

Answer 1

If you're an animal lover, stay away from this one:

* A large, screaming coatimundi (mistaken as a muskrat in the film) is stabbed multiple times in the neck by an actor.
* A large turtle (about three feet long) is captured in the water and dragged to shore, where it is then decapitated and its limbs and shell removed. The actors proceed to cook and eat the turtle.
* A large spider is killed with a machete.
* A snake is killed with a machete.
* A squirrel monkey has its face cut off with a machete.
* A pig is kicked and then shot with a rifle.

Now, about the human beings:
1. There's a scene in which a penis had been cut. (the finished product is explicitly shown)
2. A mutilation scene is explicitly shown.
3. Rinse, and repeat..


NO, it's not a true story. Everything is entirely fiction, but the animal violence are all real.

Answer 2

...my fellow question answerers are pretty much right on the money, as far as the intensity of the graphic violence in the film (though they forgot to mention the native girl on a skewer, impaled from her privates to her mouth).

If the premise of the film resembles a certain contemporary film about a certain Blair Witch, the similarities are much too parallel to be coincidence.

A team of college film students, armed with hand-held video cameras, venture into the South Amercan jungles for their studies; filming every step of the way, the students encounter, and eventually inflict inhuman horrors upon man (themselves, and the primitive jungle inhabitants) and animal alike.

They are never heard from again!!!

A college professor ventures into the jungles, in search of the student's whereabout, and encounters his own share of unrelenting horrors; he stumbles upon a native village, and finds various material items and personal belongings, identified as those belonging to the students. He also finds the cans of film footage taken by the students.

He retrieves the film footage for a production company, who wants to produced a documentary on the student's harrowing journey; in reviewing the footage, we find out first hand, exactly what happened to the students, what inhuman atrocities they conducted, as well as the vengeance inflicted upon them by the primitives they crossed.

...a very harrowing film, and quite uncomfortable to watch.....yet compellingly enough, it does warrent recommended viewing.

Directed by Ruggero Deodato, the DVD release of the film (released through Grindhouse Releasing) is generally still available, despite a limited pressing. Check out, perhaps, www.amazon.com

Answer 3

To many, this is a classic example of a Grindhouse film.

The scenes are so shocking and disturbing, it falls into a catagory of total gross-out films like "I Spit on Your Grave", "Kill Them All and Come Home Alone" and one of the later "Ilsa" films (one of them has a scene where a naked woman is standing on a block of ice with a rope around her neck. As the ice melts, she slowly is hanged)
