Cannibal Holocaust

(1978)

Once again I must commend the Italians for being able to put ANYTHING in their movies! This thing is FILLED with REAL animal mutilation and naked, under-aged, tribal girls! Okay, okay, settle down... settle down... Alright, a search party goes into "the Green Inferno", a dangerous chunk of the Amazon jungle, to find out what happened to a group of snot-nosed documentary filmers. They come to a village of cannibals and buy their trust with a switchblade and their bare-asses! The party then goes to the "tree people", where they gain acceptance with a tape recorder, and find the remains (and film) of the documentary group. The guys take the film back to the "civilization" of the US, where they find out what happened to the kids and why the cannibals were so bitchy. Turns out the film makers were pissed because the cannibals WEREN'T savage and brutal. So, being the geniuses they were, those no good whipper-snappers started runnin' around with their "thundersticks", harrassin' the neighbors, and having INTERCOURSE in front of the neighbors' kids! No respect! Oh yeah, they also gang raped a native girl! But, what goes around comes around, and the cannibals have them for dinner. Well, after torturing and raping THEM (not the cheesy Sci-Fi movie!) that is. The movie pretty much ends here. One thing you gotta love about this flick is not only the gore and politically incorrect (Bill Maher is such a dork!) scenes, but also the music! It's this fuckin' Snow White/ Alice in Wonderland mix! Ah, them crazy greaseballs, what movies they make. Also, if YOU'RE ever stuck in the jungle, try GREEN INFERNO TURTLE SOUP! Just dismember a live tortoise, pry open shell, massage the internal organs for several minutes, then cook slightly. Serves four (or one really fat guy)! Also girls, never cheat on your cannibal boyfriends, because they'll ram a ball of mud and sticks into your "pelvis" and bash your head in with a dildo rock! Don't forget!

DVD X-tras: There's an all music track (which, with this flick, is very surreal heh heh) and there's also photos from the unfilmed "Piranha scene", which looked too fuckin cool to have to be left out! Also, there's a trailer and an interview with creator Ruggero Deodato (in which he mentions he has NO desire to make CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST 2... greasy old bastard! Depriving me of good cannibal flicks!). But, I'd say my favorite thing was the scene access! Now I can zip straight to all my favorite rape/brutal slaughter scenes with the push of a button! Gods bless DVD!

Sequels: Nope
