"Cannibal Holocaust" is prime Euro Exploitation!
Deodato made an exciting and thankfully serious movie.
The documentary footage looks suitably authentic with its light flares, scratches, jump cuts and ever-moving camera.
This technique also helps the gore effects to no end as Deodato chooses to film his gore scenes from a slight distance with unstable camera set ups.
Add to this the absence of garishly fake blood, and what you have are truly unnerving dismemberments and beheadings.
Wonderful score as well.
Cannibal Holocaust is difficult viewing i agree. The animal suffering is hard to stomach for sure.
Yet the film itself is a well made, multi-layered, exciting and ultimately satisfying wallow in the blood stained waters of extreme cinema.
A movie that's a very, very guilty pleasure.
