Cannibal Holocaust

Banned under the 1984 Video Recordings Act, Cannibal Holocaust has become a notorious film. Only released for Britain in 2001, it was passed with a number of cuts. When a careless film crew goes missing in a South American jungle, a rescue team is sent in from the United States. Upon the team's arrival, a native tribe called the tree people' offer them the only remains of the crew--rolls of film documenting their search for true cannibals. The footage reveals the missing crew's shocking discovery--and their gruesome fates. Ruggero Deodato's horror classic features a surprising amount of social commentary along with its gore. In addition, its premise is considered by many to be a major influence on THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT and CLOVERFIELD.
