Answer 1

Cannibal Holocaust.
It's been praised in recent years for its Verité style camera work, and decried for its genuine scenes of animal abuse.
Not a nice film.

Answer 2

CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST (1979)
Director: Ruggero Deodato

A group of four American filmmakers disappear into the Amazon jungle while producing a documentary on the lives of native tribes. A New York college professor tracks down a series of film cans left behind in a native village, containing footage that holds the secret behind the fates of the crew and the ultimate truth regarding humanity at its worst.

CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST is a rare film that indeed lives up to, and perhaps exceeds, its reputation as a bonafide video nasty, a film so rare that it was only available through muddy bootlegs which made the extreme violence and sadism all the more effective. Laserdisc and DVD releases began around the late 90s, presenting the film mostly uncut, though some versions blurred out pubic hair (Japan) or edited some sequences that pushed the envelope more than others (The UK, Australia). After almost 30 years (the DVD is a year too late to mark the film’s 25th anniversary), CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST remains the bad boy it was in 1979, plagued with censorship problems worldwide, and will never age.

To proudly claim that you have experienced CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST, you must endure the entire film itself, without once closing your eyes or using the fast-forward button. Some viewers will rush to skip past the gratuitous animal violence (the infamous turtle dismembering scene, a muskrat stabbed to death, a monkey’s face chopped off) or any number of the brutal native rituals (an adultress is brained in the skull with a rock, a pregnant woman gives birth standing up and her fetus buried alive in the mud, a young virgin is defiled by the filmmakers and is impaled on a wooden stake). What remains is still a rollercoaster ride of the senses, but for the full impact, watch the entire film from start to finish. Most horror fans already know of the strong similarities between this film and THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT, but where BLAIR WITCH was a chilling story of what hides in the shadows and haunts our nightmares, HOLOCAUST is occupied with presenting real-life horrors, never turning the camera away to reveal a special effect. Everything is presented in a documentary format, creating the feeling of watching the closest thing to a snuff film one could imagine. The cinematography is flawless, both in the film portion with the professor investigating the disappearance of the filmmakers, and in the gutsy 16mm documentary footage which makes up the bulk of the second half of the movie. Additionally, composer Riz Ortolani’s score, while considered cheesy and melodramatic by some, works as both a beautiful counterbalance to what is seen on-screen and a mood-setter during some of the more graphic moments. In front of the camera, adult film actor Robert Kerman is top-billed, and is pretty much the star of the film, and it’s an interesting change of pace to see him in a role like this as opposed to his usual “dirty old man” roles of 70s XXX. The braver performances are from Gabriel Yorke, Perry Pirkanen, Luca Barbareschi, and Francesca Ciardi, as the cruel white invaders destroying native villages, killing animals, raping random native women, mocking rituals of death, and finally meeting their comeuppance in the final reel. Yorke and Ciardi especially make lasting impressions as lovers Alan and Faye, who one would think would be the voice of reason but instead corrupt everything they touch.

Deodato had already tackled the cannibal film subgenre with JUNGLE HOLOCAUST, the 1976 classick which is a cakewalk compared to CANNIBAL. JUNGLE’s primary villain was the jungle itself, acting as a character intending to kill a foreign outsider trying to escape the wilderness, but CANNIBAL wants to have its cake and eat it, too, by presenting as villains both the cannibal tribe as savage barbarians who have no feelings or compassion for their fellow humans and the American filmmakers who take and destroy what they want with no regard for others. Many will argue that Deodato’s film is sheer exploitation, condemning the violence while lovingly wallowing in it to provide thrills for the audience. If that’s all that some people can see in this film, they’re missing the big picture. The last line of the film reads, “I wonder who the real cannibals are,” and truer words couldn’t be spoken. While the tribal natives commit acts of violence as part of their society and ways of life, moviegoers and TV watchers (including the audience of this very film) eat up the violence with much fascination and gusto, at the same time condemning the “savages” for their “inhumane” behavior. Simply said, CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST is a brilliant film. Repulsive, disturbing, and soul-staining, as well as moving, emotional, and thought-provoking, Deodato never made a better film and one hopes his ideas for a sequel fizzle out quickly
