@schmoogie "Although six animal deaths appear onscreen, seven animals were killed for the production, as the scene depicting the monkey's death was shot twice, resulting in the death of two monkeys. Both of the animals were eaten by indigenous cast members, who consider monkey brains a delicacy. The animals that were killed onscreen were:
a South American coati, an Arrau turtle, a tarantula, a boa constrictor, a squirrel monkey, and a pig." (Yorke, Carl Gabriel (12 May 2005). "Alan Yates Uncovered". Cannibal Holocaust DVD Extras (Interview). Interviewed by Sage Stallone. Palo Alto, California. via Wikipedia)

This was just a very bad piece of film making. The missing documentary crew were truly despicable horrible people and deserved what they got in the end. The animal cruelty is probably the most horrifying and disgusting thing in this movie, because it appears to actually be real.
The biggest reason this movie got some traction back then, was due to Italian authorities seizing and destroying the prints seemingly believing what they saw in the film was real. It was not.
How I rate:
1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too
9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!
