Cannibal Holocaust 4K UHD [Blu-ray] [2022] [Region A & B & C]

Product Information

We hear at the beginning how four young film-makers travelled deep into the jungle, only to never be heard from again. A professor, curious as to their fate, retraces their path and finds their footage. What you have here is two stories in one. You have the more 'traditional' Hollywood story-telling of the professor talking to TV executives about showing the found footage on network television and the footage which was retrieved from the jungles (first person, ala Blair Witch). King, Geoff: The Spectacle of The Real: From Hollywood to 'Reality' TV and Beyond (Intellect Ltd., 2005). ISBN 1-84150-120-4. Coming in hot and heavy with a fresh new 4K restoration, 88 Films delivers an often stunningly beautiful and detailed 2160p Dolby Vision (with HDR10+) transfer. This film has always been treated fairly well on home video, and this transfer holds high marks. Fine details in facial features, the scenic locations, costumes, makeup, gore, and yes even some animal dismemberment is all on display for you to either digest or regurgitate. Fine film grain is retained throughout for a healthy cinematic appearance without appearing scrubbed or hit with DNR or edge enhancement. Some sections the grain structure can be a tad noisy but that’s mostly a hallmark of the “found” footage scenes since those scenes were captured in 16mm. No, the nostalgia for yesteryear’s 42nd Street fodder instead seems to stem from the way the genre’s playful disregard for sexual propriety and “revolutionary” violence now serves as a premonitory anti-PC manifesto, refreshingly direct given the current era’s ultra-rhetorical, ultra-humorless public handwringing over the two cinematic topics that used to be lotsa larfs: sex and violence. Is there a money shot more tasteless or rewarding than that of The Gore Gore Girls, in which a killer dispatches with a shrieking bimbette via repeated bludgeonings to her bare ass with a meat tenderizer, topping off his handiwork with a dash of salt?

Then, as if that isn't enough, you have four of the most unlikable characters ever created. They rape villagers, torch their homes, enslave the same villagers and of course murder them. How exactly is this a film that has any redeeming values to it? Cannibal Holocaust is the most vile and disgusting film I have ever seen.

It feels stuntlike, yet the combination of amplified bloodlust and world-weary regret is unique. Like Lucio Fulci's even more personal CAT IN THE BRAIN, it's an affecting enactment of an exploitation artist's conscience tearing apart. DeVos, Andrew (2010).

Firsching claims that "The fact that the film's sole spokesperson for the anti-exploitation perspective is played by porn star Robert Kerman should give an indication of where its sympathies lie", [27] while Schager says Deodato is "pathetically justifying the unrepentant carnage by posthumously damning his eaten filmmaker protagonists with a 'who are the real monsters – the cannibals or us?' anti-imperialism morale."

The gore fans hail this movie, and keep saying that it had a "deep story" (We should add hypocrisy to the bad things of this movie,because if the message of this movie is against sensationalism, then why this movie just feed it with morbid publicity) The big deal of this movie was the fake rumors that the people in this movie were really killed. That wasn't true, and "only" the animals were killed. That cruelty doesn't not make this movie to be more realistic, it only made it more disgusting. The other thing is the movie became infamous and Ruggero knew what he was doing. Nowadays this is almost unthinkable. Apart from Blair Witch Project, where the filmmaker apparently never had seen this, otherwise he wouldn't have made his movie which changed the landscape ... but this one changed a lot of things too. While the movie pretended that its actors were dead (told them not to involve themselves in other projects after this was finished), the filmmaker got into legal trouble, because people believed this was completely real. The real animal torture killing and the overall realistic looking effects did the rest ... especially one impaling scene! Ruggero has since explained how he did (quite "easy" faked), but still many are awed by how it looks.
