4K UNCUT NEW RESTORATION
An anthropologist ventures into the Amazon rainforest on a rescue mission, where he recovers footage shot by a film crew documenting their disastrous encounters with local cannibal tribes.
Now recognized as the first true found footage film, Ruggero Deodato’s relentlessly grim, downbeat, and graphic horror classic remains one of the most controversial films ever made.
Featuring stomach-churning, ultra-realistic violence (so realistic, in fact, that the filmmaker was brought up on murder charges), real animal cruelty and death, graphic scenes of torture, mutilation, assault, and sexual assault, CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST was and is considered groundbreaking, influential, and polarizing to the max … and yet, despite this, it’s a bona fide horror classic that remains unmatched in its ability to shock.
