Cannibal Holocaust (1980)

(Director's Cut)
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


Cannibal Holocaust is a cannibal exploitation horror
film directed by Ruggero Deodato from a screenplay
by Gianfranco Clerici, starring Carl Gabriel Yorke,
Robert Kerman, Francesca Ciardi, and Luca Giorgio
Barbareschi. Influenced by the works of Mondo
director Gualtiero Jacopetti, the film was inspired
by Italian media coverage of Red Brigade terrorism.
The coverage included news reports Deodato believed
to be staged, an idea which became an integral aspect
of the film's story. Cannibal Holocaust was filmed
primarily in the Amazon Rainforest with real
indigenous tribes interacting with American and
Italian actors.

Cannibal Holocaust achieved notoriety as its graphic
violence aroused a great deal of controversy. After
its premiere in Italy, it was ordered to be seized by
a local magistrate, and Deodato was arrested on
obscenity charges. He was later charged with making a
snuff film due to rumors that claimed some actors were
killed on camera. Although Deodato was later cleared,
the film was banned in Italy, Australia, and several
other countries due to its portrayal of graphic
brutality, sexual assault, and genuine violence toward
animals. Some nations have since revoked the ban, but
the film is still banned in several countries. Critics
have suggested that the film is a commentary about
civilized versus uncivilized society.

STORY:

A New York anthropologist named Professor Harold
Monroe travels to the wild, inhospitable jungles
of South America to find out what happened to a
documentary film crew that disappeared two months
before while filming a documentary about
primitive cannibal tribes deep in the rain
forest. With the help of two local guides,
Professor Monroe encounters two tribes, the
Yacumo and the Yanomamo. While under the
hospitality of the latter tribe, he finds the
remains of the crew and several reels of their
undeveloped film. Upon returning to New York
City, Professor Monroe views the film in detail,
featuring the director Alan Yates, his girlfriend
Faye Daniels, and cameramen Jack Anders and Mark
Tomaso. After a few days of traveling, the film
details how the crew staged all the footage for
their documentary by terrorizing and torturing
the natives. Despite Monroe's objections, the
television studio Pan American still wishes to
air the footage as a legitimate documentary. In
order to change their minds, Monroe shows the
station's executives the film's final reels,
so they could see first hand how the crew's fate
came to be.
