Cannibal Holocaust
I saw this movie the other day, although not for the weak stomached i found it a very powerful movie. I would like to hear from anyone who has seen it.
Heres the low down.
Cannibal Holocaust (1980) is a controversial exploitation film which was banned in Australia (where the ban has since been lifted), the United Kingdom and Italy, due to its depiction of graphic rape, torture, and the killings of real animals. It was conceived by Gianfranco Clerici and Giorgio Stegani, and made under the direction of Ruggero Deodato with a budget of around 100,000 USD. It is probably the best-known and most financially successful of the exploitation subgenre of Italian cannibal films.

The most controversial movie ever made
The film contains two timelines; the �real� timeline shows Harold Monroe�s trip into the jungle to determine the fate of the young American explorers, and his later subsequent reviewing of the recovered films. Much of the film is the depiction of the �recovered� film�s contents, which grow increasingly disturbing as they are revealed. The films depict female and male nudity, rape, and human and animal killing.
