This may not be a well known film, but that would be for good reasons. Cannibal Holocaust is a "shockumentary". A New York anthropologist, named Professor Harold Moore, travels to the wild, inhospitable jungles of South American with two local guides to find out what happened to a documentary film crew which disappeared nearly a year earlier while traveling into the same jungle, called the 'Green Inferno' to film a documentary about reputed cannibal tribes. After a long search and encountering a few primitive tribes, Professor Moore finds the remains of the crew and several reels of their undeveloped film. Upon returning to the USA, Professor Moore views the film in detail featuring the travels of the director Alan Yates, his assistant Faye Daniels, and cameramen Jack Anders and Mark Tomaso venturing into the jungles where the inexperienced, street-wise film group, after finding the indigenous tribes to docile for their film, decide to push them for kicks, with drastic consequences. It is a sickening film to watch and is NOT for the squeemish. The day I watched the film I didn't smile or laugh for the rest of the day. It is so disturbing in so many aspects (i.e. Killing REAL animals for a shock value). Has anyone else seen it and like to discuss it?
