Erhm, it's not a snuff film because the human-killing parts, at least, weren't real in Cannibal Holocaust. Though animals actually were killed in production. It's definitely one of the more screwed up movies I've seen. Up there with Salo (120 Days of Sodom) on the top end of the "Jesus, why did I just watch that?" meter.
The director's point in making Cannibal Holocaust was to prove, graphically, that there are some things that are grossly inappropriate to be shown, and that self-censorship in the media can be a good thing. I think he did a very good job of it. At no point after seeing that movie do I kid myself into thinking I have lived a better life for having seen it. |
