A film with a name like Cannibal Holocaust is bound to be horrific. Director Ruggero Deodato took the horror a step too far though.
More than a step. In 1980, Deodato released the fictitious film, which followed a group of American filmmakers in to the Amazon basin in search of a previous expedition looking for cannibal tribes.
The film consists of the footage of this American filmmaking team that is recovered after they too disappear. Deodato is often credited with creating the "found footage" genre (a la The Blair Witch Project).
The movie features murder, torture, the slaughter of wild animals, genocide, castration, and many more unspeakable acts before it's cannibalistic climax.
Deodato was fined for animal cruelty and the film was banned in his home country of Italy for 3 years. It was also banned in 40 other countries including the UK until 2001.
Deodato himself was accused of murdering his actors - that's how real the footage appeared. Talk about horrifying. He was put on trial but proved his innocence by bringing one of the supposedly murder actors in.
