Cannibal Holocaust

A New York publisher and an anthropologist recover the film reels of a missing documentary crew who vanished while filming in the Amazon. The recovered footage—presented as the crew’s final recordings—documents their encounters with isolated tribes and escalates into graphic violence and the filmmakers’ own brutal actions. Shot as a faux-documentary/found-footage picture, it attracted intense controversy and censorship for its explicit content and depictions of on-screen animal deaths.
