Somehow, someway, Ruggero Deodato’s notorious horror classic CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST will be back on the big screen starting this weekend at Landmark Theatres across the United States. I’ve actually been unfortunate enough to see Deodato’s controversial film on the big screen and it was an… experience, to say the least. It’s a sick, unnerving piece of cinema that will have even the most seasoned of horror fans cowering in their seats.
The film is so intense, so graphic, and so unflinching in its realism that the director and producer of CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST were arrested on its original release and the film was seized. How's that for an opening night? All that said, moviegoers are warned: This is the original, uncut version of CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST, and its strong content may upset some viewers.
CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST tells the story of four documentary filmmakers who experience brutal death at the hands of a savage South American tribe of flesh-eaters.
The film stars Robert Kerman, Francesca Ciardi, and Carl Gabriel Yorke.
