This is the real shit. Intense, vulgar, extreme. There is a darkness inherent in Cannibal Holocaust that most other pre-slasher horror films of the late 70s / early 80s don't know how to manufacture (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre being an obvious exception). Not only are the practical effects believable (the film is extremely controversial because of its genuine depictions of animal deaths), the found footage elements create a sense of reality other horror films can only have nightmares of. It is a brutal depiction of journalistic sensationalism using sexual assault and animal cruelty as lenses. Viewers be warned.
