Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
jantelo So here we are making a movie about how the white devil impacted this tribe
liam_donnaz Let's get the obvious out of the way, this is a very disturbing movie, and as someone who can watch abbatoir footage completely stonefaced, this is somehow worse. Watching it at times I honestly felt sick and finishing it I vowed I would never watch it again. This is a very uncomfortable film. Approach with caution.Now that's out of the way, while I don't like this movie for a few reasons (I'm not even going to attempt to say why) I do have to admit it is pretty clever. In spite of its hypocritical production (again, I'm not getting into it) the basic idea is about sensationalism and how the media chooses to spin things, so to be completely fair it is pretty clever......at first. Like I said, this movie is very disturbing and veeeeery uncomfortable. It is admittedly very well acted, though inevitably some of the ADR is kinda flaky, the idea is quite clever and I hate to admit it but it's directed and shot very well, especially by 70's/80's exploitation standards, but none of this justifies anything that happens on screen. My five out of ten grade was very begrudging. Make of that what you will but don't say I didn't warn you
duccshmucc I was pretty disturbed in a very good way and im still coming down from the shock a bit, even a day later as I am writing this. Maybe some of the animal abuse was sad but animals eat each other so who cares. The gore in this movie is really good for the time and was enough to trip me out. and cringed with sympathy pain when that tribe woman was raped with a rock
rameyzamora No, I did not see this film, nor will I. (Spoiler) Nor do I watch old western movies. or foreign films showing real animal cruelty, suffering and death, such as "Texas Chain Saw Massacre." Actors paid to simulate being tortured, injured, killed are one thing. Animals actually harmed because they are weaker than their killers and because someone wants to make money off their pain are quite another. Inhumanity is fostered with the acceptance of this kind of cruelty, and it is the true horror of films like "Cannibal Holocaust."
