Plot: In the beginning, we meet a documentary team of three young men and a young woman. They are heading for the South American jungle in search of real cannibals. After the crew is reported missing, a rescue team is sent from the U.S. The team makes contact with an Amazon tribe called the Tree-people, who give them the only remains of the first crew - with rolls of film containing the material shot during their search. Back in the States these films are shown, revealing the carnage suffered by the first crew.BANNED IN THE UK SINCE 1982! In 1979 four documentary filmmakers disappeared in the jungles of South America while shooting a film about cannibalism... Six months later the New York University, along with the Pan American Broadcasting Corporation, sent a search team in looking for the film makers. They could never have been prepared for what they found!!! Owing to the harrowing and graphic nature of the film, CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST has been banned in over 50 countries and has achieved a notoriety surpassed by no other horror movie. Paying compliment to Ruggero Deodato's masterpiece, other film makers have tried to imitate but all have failed. Better to be in the warm body of a friend than in a cold hole in the

 This is one of the nastiest films of all time; In my opinion, it's even nastier than Cannibal Ferox. However, it is not quite as trashy as Lenzi's flick, as it's better-shot and not as cheesy.  --p.rinse (ColdSpot)
This bizarre film out of Italy has its following. More violent porn than horror, it does own the dubious distinction of being the best in what`s known as the "cannibal" genre, often involving sick gore and, in the case of this film, real animal killings.-- (eSplatter.com)
One of the most infamous films in gore exploitation's history, Cannibal Holocaust is a gut wrenching experience of insane horror.  --Zaero (Bloody-Disgusting.com)
This is some strong stuff, folks, even for the hardcore gore hound. Not one to wince at blood or violence on screen, Cannibal had me looking away several times, especially during the totally unnecessary killings of real live animals. But it is the power and emotion of the film that packs the true punch. --Matt Dalton (Bloody-Disgusting.com)

| A movie that somewhat lives up to its hype. Should be able to please many gore fans and those of you who want to see something that is banned in America. Check this movie out if you want something to remember days after you watch it. 5/10 --FrighT MasteR (UHM)
