I wonder who the real cannibals are.

Cannibal Holocaust...Now, I have to give it credit for doing exactly what it intends on doing, and that is to repulse and show you something you've never seen before and the film sure as hell did both. I saw this only once a few months ago (and probably for the last time) and have rarely ,if ever, been that deeply disturbed by a film. I've seen some pretty disgusting movies in my life, but not even Faces of Death had affected me as much as CH. It would never ever be on a favorite movies list of mine, nor would I consider it a "great" film, but out of all the movies I've seen since them almost none of them have stuck with me as long as CH. There were multiple times were I had to look away from the screen. I had even gotten to the point were I was considering turning it off and being done with it, (but as I'm sure other movie geeks know, It's hard to do that) this is something I hadn't done since maybe I was 8 or 9 years old. If you want to see a movie that is meant to disgust, than check it out, but I'm warning you; this movie isn't for the squemish, it's not even for people like me who have seen some of the most digust things ever put on film, I'm pretty sure it was "gross you out" if not anything else.
