60 of 293 · most liked first#nowwatching Oh we may stir some trouble up today. Today's movie is Cannibal Holocaust (1980) Often mentioned, rarely seen due to it not really getting distribution. Holy f🔪k, like every content warning ever. Made to be shocking, it still works today. Anyone else see this one? Love it, or hate it?

Blair Witch went MAINSTREAM so your regular viewing audience did not have a backlog knowledge of found footage at that point. Anyway, here's your horror nerdery courtesy of Goth Aunty today.

The game follows a group searching for a film reel on a tropical island, with its footage containing disturbing material tied to real cases of cannibalism.

It’s also the genre that has pushed the boundaries of what can and should be seen on the screen, particularly in recent years. Horror films, particularly those released in the 1980s and afterward, have worked very hard to plumb the hearts and minds of viewers, bringing out those things that many people are afraid to face in their…

Craig Zahler/2015) Zahler's awesome horror/western that asks what if Cannibal Holocaust ran headlong into The Searchers. Great film for fans of both westerns and horror. Check it out!

neutral · AI labelView post →Rite of passage. I'm finally watching the OG Faces of Death. My older brother made it seem like the most grusome film. My mother forbade it. When I read what it actually was, I had already seen Cannibal Holocaust and too many films involving necrophilia (please don't ask). The magic was gone.
neutral · AI labelView post →Another great video from Ant dissecting The Green Inferno, a film from notorious hack and megadouche Eli Roth. It says something that his film manages to be more regressive and racist in its depiction of the cannibals than the film he’s paying tribute to (Cannibal Holocaust).

neutral · AI labelView post →Cannibal Holocaust (1980) is one of the most brutal horror films ever made. This brutal Italian shocker pushed the boundaries of cinematic ethics, censorship, and audience manipulation so far that it triggered criminal investigations and real-world legal trials upon its release. #folkhorror #horror

Carl Gabriel Yorke as Alan Yates in Cannibal Holocaust, smiling at the sight of an impaled woman before being reminded that he's on camera. For such a shocking film, this subtle little thing is the scariest scene.

neutral · AI labelView post →Just to add the audacity, the movie takes its title from the in-universe film of Cannibal Holocaust, which was all about how western cultures are actually more savage than the indigenous people we look down upon and seek to exploit...
neutral · AI labelView post →There are things about the film that simply cannot be fixed in an edit. (See: Jackson’s baffling decision to make the islanders into Cannibal Holocaust monsters, making the film even more racist than the original.) But every time I watch it, I am filled with the urge to tinker
neutral · AI labelView post →Cannibal Holocaust is one of the few horror movies I will never watch. It is not horror. It is an animal snuff film and documentation of real abuse. Even if it has a larger fictitious plot it doesn’t excuse it from the REAL atrocities the director was committing

neutral · AI labelView post →Basically, Deodato forced two actors to film a sex scene against their will, so it’s technically rape since no consent was involved. Cannibal Holocaust is a deeply immoral film on several levels, and it’s the one Italian genre film I refuse to watch.

Me: While some people think that The Blair Witch Project is the first found footage horror film, the truth is that it's actually Cannibal Holocaust. It also was so violent the director went on trial for murder.
