Angra, if you like DeNiro in horror, I saw a trailer at Elektra for a film called "Hide and Seek", looked kinda interesting, look up the trailer to watch if you can.

I just saw Canibal holocaust...for starters, the movie contained the real executions of at least two animals (I wasn't sure about the turtle), either way, I didn't like this.
I personally think the rest of the film is a little over-rated, weak, pointless storyline and for the better part, very shitty acting.
I was pretty bored most of the way through, even during the "snuff" type scenes, some of which were convincing, some were not. I dunno, I just founf it distasteful and not much more.
Sure, some gore freaks would have loved it no doubt, but personally, I don't give a shit to ever watch this movie again.

Hey thanks Cheeba. Im definitely gonna watch that movie when it comes up. ;) :)

You can never leave the awesome Cannibal Holocaust unaffected by the experience.

The turtle was really killed by the cast members (whose acting is really very good, although their ethics in respect of the animal killings is questionable).

The "snuff" scenes you refer to (in the Road to Hell sequence?) is actually real footage of third-world executions.

Interestingly, these scenes are portrayed as fake in the movie, where conversely the "found" footage of Yates and his crew is suggested to be the authentic stuff (which, one supposes, some of it is considering the genuine animal slaughters... though more than one person has been convinced the cannibal killings were also real, hence the hightened furore over the film).

Sounds disgusting and distasteful. :mad:

animals weren't slaughtered for those films.

Cannibal Holocaust sounds sick and over the line . There was a thread on this before. I wouldn't bother wasting my time........:rolleyes:

Whatever the reasons...the same things have been said about horror films from day one!

YOU may piss on "C. Holo", but there are just as many people who woulld piss on a film you like and consider acceptable while screaming the same slogans of "disgusting and distasteful".

And in fact many horses used to be killed for Westerns. hence the banninig on tripping them up with ropes.
So lets slam and refuse to watch them as well.

HK films have been killing animals on film for decades, and they are still so cool and hip to johhny come lately fans.

And animals die worse deaths every day for your burgers.
Yes the animal snuff (although the turtle is actually a very fast death, they take the head off first) is very dubious and should be thought about...but that does not change the quality of the film it is in.
And a film should be judged as a whole.

And again, there are just as many 'others' out there who would vomit out venom with such power they make you look like a child...and it will be venom aiamed at a film you DO like and approve of.
