CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST

horror 1980 / Italy / 95 minutes / Format: 35mm
Director: Ruggero Deodato Cast: Robert Kerman, Carl Gabriel Yorke, Francesca Ciardi Print Source: Grindhouse Releasing

Still banned in some countries, the notorious Cannibal Holocaust is the originator of the “found footage” phenomenon. When four anthropology students go missing in the Amazon, Professor Harold Monroe goes to investigate. His futile quest takes him deep into the remote Amazonian jungle, where white men fear to tread and cannibalistic tribes lurk. Monroe barely escapes with his life and a film canister that will reveal the brutal truth about the cruel fate of the hapless students who dared to enter the jungle of death. A legend in the world of exploitation cinema, Cannibal Holocaust has the honorable distinction of having had the Italian government put the filmmakers on trial to prove that no one was actually murdered during the film’s production. A classic in its own right, this rare showing of this controversial shocker is a disturbing event that will be essential viewing for true horror fans.
