Cannibal Holocaust is mother of all cannibal films and was filmed in 1979, by director Ruggero Deodata from a story by Gianfranco Clerici and
produced by Franco Palaggi and Franco Di Nunzio. This movie is well known on the Internet as being the sickest and most disturbing movie of all
time. But now days it’s a bit of a cheese fest which a little nudity, gore, rape and of course animal cruelty within the film.
Cannibal Holocaust
managed to stir a fair bit of shit worldwide back in 1980 when it hit the theaters, but now days it is praised and loved by every exploitation fan in
the world.

Cannibal Holocaust is filmed in two parts. The first half is about a an Anthropologist from New York by the name of Professor Harold Monroe
(Robert Kerman), who travels to South American and heads deep into the Amazon which they call The Green Inferno to find the 5 Documentary film
makers who have gone to shoot a documentary about cannibals, if they do they actually exists or if it is just a myth, but for some reason they have
not returned. So Professor Harold Monroe finds himself the best tracker there is by the name of Mark Tomasso (Luca Giorgio Barbareschi) and then
they head into the jungle in search to find them. After a while he discovers that the Amazon Jungle is actually ruled by three cannibal tribes. The
Yagumos tribe (Where the crew torch and rape there village) Yanomano tribe (A friendly tribe where Professor Harold Monroe and his tracker helps
them cause the) Shamatari tribe (Which was raping and eating the women of the Yanomano tribe while the male hunters where out hunting for
food) He then has to bond with one of the Yanomamo tribe and view brutal rites before he can set off to find the missing crew, or should I say
what is left of there bodies. He soon finds some 16mm film cans wrap around a half eaten carcass impaled on a stick that should be one of missing
crew members. He then must try and find a way to bargain with the chef cannibal of the tribe who have turned there corpses into some form of a
ritual monument. He then finally gets back to New York with the film and the television station wants to show the contents on the film to the
American people in tribute to the five missing crew members. But surely enough the editor refuses to view anymore of the brutal contents within
the canisters, so the television network decides to view the footage before airing it. Now this is where the second part of the film kicks in as what
you would say "A Birds Eye View" of what exactly happened in The Green Inferno. The networks are yet to realize who actually the savages are.
They see the crew discovering a cannibal tribe (The Yagumos tribe) and how they shot one of them in the leg like a mongrel dog, so he will slowly
lead the crew back to the  cannibal’s village. When the crew got there they realize the tribe was a peaceful tribe, so they decided to start setting
there huts on fire and killing there livestock and pissing in there river where they drink from. They even went as far as bashing and raping a
teenage girl within the tribe in a open field while filming and laughing about it just so they can gain some footage to take back with them to New
York for the documentary. But the crew pushes the cannibals too far which they end up devouring there attackers one by one in a ritualistic rites.
But the dick heads don't try and run away from the cannibals they stand around filming each others death and even the women journalist being
raped by cannibal after cannibal and then eaten to death, still that wasn't enough for them so they still film the documentary until its too late and
they find themselves next on the cannibals main menu. The footage just goes to show how far these 5 crew members will go as far for the sake of
journalism even to there own death, all for just for a fucking story.

Now is the time to talk about the sickening animal mutilation scenes. Where you get to see a turtle getting its head chopped of while for minutes
later its still gasping for air, then they tear open the shell & start gutting the turtle while they reach deep into the turtles stomach and start ripping
out its intestines and other organs. This scene is not fake and its actually real live footage of them doing this and they throw it on the fire and start
chowing into it. It kind of rolls your gut a little but you do feel sorry for the poor turtle that’s for sure. Then you get over it and enjoy the movie
because you know these sick bastards are going to get what they deserve for doing what they did. You also get to see other animal cruelty
scenes also. Which I won’t tell you because, I don't want to spoil too much of the movie for you.

But if you do end up tracking this movie down and you hate seeing cruelty to animals I suggest you don't watch this film.

I Am Warning You, after watching
Cannibal Holocaust it does make you think, who the real savages are.

A New York anthropologist, named Professor Harold Moore (Robert Kerman), travels to the wild,
inhospitable jungles of South American with two local guides to find out what happened to a
documentary film crew which disappeared nearly a year earlier while traveling into the same jungle,
called the 'Green Inferno' to film a documentary about reputed cannibal tribes. After a long search and
encountering a few primitive tribes, Professor Moore finds the remains of the crew and several reels of
their undeveloped film. Upon returning to the USA, Professor Moore views the film in detail featuring the
travels of the director Alan Yates (Gabriel York), his assistant Faye Daniels (Francesa Ciardi), and
cameramen Jack Anders (Perry Pirkanen) and Mark Tomaso (Luca Giorgio Barbareschi) venturing into
the jungles where the inexperienced, street-wise film group, after finding the indigenous tribes to
docile for their film, decide to push them for kicks, with drastic consequences.
