Get out of my head, OP. I just got some cannibal movies tonight to binge on this weekend. Massacre at Dinosaur Valley or whatever it's called looks promising. Jungle Holocaust looks like a full blown creepfest.

Just ordered Emmanuelle and the Last Cannibals and Eaten Alive from Severin Films!!!FACT!!!

Bone Tomahawk you pleb

Its good - but Ravenous might be better.

Bone Tomahawk was shit you moron, the only good thing about that movie was Kurt Russell.

The director was almost charged with murder for that scene. That why its good.

they're eating but it's not human meat

What is it with Italians and cannibalism?

Fires on the Plain

cannibal holocaust made millions and everyone else tried to cash in

Is cannibal holocaust actually watchable? Or is so shit that it's a total waste of time

Of course it is, at least in context.

there's no reference to cannibalism in the first movie

The Neon Demon

I bet it takes a few tries to really get good at impaling someone through and through. You probably get a few snickers from the other tribe members.

of course there is.

Its pretty fucking cheesy, but they do IRL kill animals on screen.

I'm with this user. I'm remembering final chick realizing the cannibalism when she sees the barbecue inside the old guy's little shack.

Wait is this a legitimately decent movie? I thought people thought it was shit

this movie was so boring. hyped up to be a really fucked up movie but was honestly pretty tame

7.5 on imdb

It's a classic, but I'm personally not a fan. It's dated, but in a bad way. Characters say/do annoying shit throughout.

It depends on your pain threshold went it comes to film. It's pretty slow moving and the first half is mostly concerned with the slaughter of animals, which was supposedly real and not special effects. That's why other than the gore of the death scenes the film is pretty notorious. It also doesn't help the party of four people are pretty unlikeable and they're the leads. The anthropologist who's kinda the hero is played by American porn actor Richard Bolla and it's funny he's probably the only decent actor in the thing. So watch at your own risk.

Delicatessen

Alright, thanks. If I know I'm getting into some cheesy hyper-gore fest I'll give it a go.

Directors should kill more animals on screen

>hyper-gore fest
there's only one gory scene and it takes itself very seriously

Edgy

eggy

Fucking Green Inferno was better than this shit.

These days it would get your studio burned down
PETAfags are insane

Green Inferno lacked a decent rape scene though making it far inferior to a film with two juicy ones

If you eat meat or consume animal products but don't want animals killed on screen you are a hypocrite

>If you eat meat or consume animal products but don't want animals killed on screen you are a hypocrite
I think you mean don't mind instead of don't want

Apparently he was such a bad actor they had to dub over all of this lines.

that's just an Italian thing, they film silently and dub everyone

Oh.

Shut up you faggot ass vegan.

Whoops, meant for

>that scene where the cannibals gang rape the female photographer and then scalp her

Not gonna lie it was kind of erotic.

Real screen death of animals, rape scenes and gory cannibal deaths aside one thing that Cannibal Holocaust did first was be a "found footage" film that set the course for films like Blair Witch. It also explored the themes of media footage of violence vs the hungry appetites of people's demand for violence in their entertainment. It at least tried to open dialogue on some issues but it got overshadowed by its notoriety of the urban myth that the cast being killed for real.

It was totally erotic bro
Don't worry you're among friends here

It is actually and unironically watchable. It has a good score, decent acting for what it is, and a complex narrative which doesn't bore or drag.

Italians are naturally evil. It's in their character as a people, and it's closely related to their proximity to Austria, another people who are naturally evil. This goes way beyond the old Hitler/nazi memes:

-an Italian directed Salo to 'make a political point' even though there was no absolute need for him to use fucking 120 Days of Sodom for such a project. No, he just really wanted to make an edgy movie about perversion and dress it up in the politics of the time to play it off.

-an Italian invented fascism.

-the mafia

-the roman catholic church

etc

-Italians also have an excellent (albeit moralistically depraved) aesthetic sense, of course (no one will object to this), and this plus their natural cultural evil enables them to carry out a sort of /complex, beautiful/ evil on a regular basis. Mafia, church, etc.

Someones already mentioned it, but Green Inferno was pretty great if you skip the first 10-20 minutes of boring character interactions and start from the plane crash.
That plan of stuffing the girls stomach with pot was fucking hilarious

>What is it with Italians and cannibalism?
Symbolical and symptomatic of the socio-political situation at the time

It's also why they came up with all that awesome giallo and nazipolitiation

Fucking this. I'm pretty sure there was a rape scene in the unofficial Cannibal Holocaust sequel Roth took the title "Green Inferno" from

It feels like they just kept re-using the same wigs for these guys in all the cannibal movies

Pretty much

looks like kino to me

What a shame that the US is going through such fucking bullshit turmoil and the escapist media coming out of all this is mainly Marvel movies and ghost horror. Sucks.

The ending of Perfume.

The fuck it was! Eli Roth being the huge fan of gore films he is really dropped the ball on his attempt to mimick cannibal films

If you vouch for war but care about your relatives being shot on the street you are a hypocrite

For me, its The Road

IMO if we're counting Rosemary's Baby & The Shining as psychological thrillers, then it's the best horror movie ever made.
It's an intelligent film that perfectly rides the line of being a realistic scenario and being truly horrific. It introduces elements, and then builds on them and revisits them. It does fluid stages of character development with all of the villains. It has reasonably good performances.
It also genuinely makes you scared of sleepy backwater places, in the way that Jaws did for the ocean and Blair Witch did for the woods. It has a truely iconic setting, visual style and villain. It ends extremely well.
I disagree that it's dated. The flaws are that the chase scene is a little one note and the woman lead is not quite good enough.
