Anyone seen cannibal holocaust?

I'm really tempted to watch it, but at the same time, it's probably gonna make me sick.

 

i own the the director cut dvd. it is a pussy of a movie! of course, i'm a guy, who worked almost 5 years in an ER, and i have seen far, far, far worst things then are in that movie.
you need to become de-sensitize, to all that horrible shit going down around you, to be able to carry out the job, of helping people who are right at death's door, and save their lives.
due to being de-sensitize, i may not be the "best" person to give a recommenation about 'cannibal holocaust.'

if you want to see one hell of a horrible "gross out" movie, i recommend 'philosophy of a knife.' SICK! SICK!... GOD DAMN MOTHERFUCKING SICK SHIT!
'philosophy of a knife' is the real life story, of the infamous top secret bio-chemical warfare research unit 731 of the imperial japanese army.
'cannibal holocaust' is fiction. 'philosophy of a knife' IS real life red in tooth and claw!
and belive me. real life is always far, far, far worst then fiction!

 

Philosophy of a knife sounds similar to men behind the sun, which was about the atrocities the Japanese did to pow's during ww2, and that was sick. About cannibal holocaust though, see ive heard different things, isn't some of the stuff real, some is fiction?

 

the real parts of 'cannibal holcaust' are where they kill three animals. you can't get away that type of shit today, thank god in heaven for that!

'philosophy of a knife' is a historical documentary on unit 731. it runs 4 1/2 hours, and is in 2 parts, each part is about 2 hours and 15 minutes long.
'men behind the sun' is a historical movie about 2 hours long.
i have seen both 'men behind the sun,' and 'philosophy of a knife,' and 'men behind the sun' can't even hold a punks candle to the deprave sick shit in 'philosophy of a knife!'

 

so do they show real video footage in philosophy? see cannibal holocaust would probably be worse for me since it's got animal cruelty.

 

I've seen it. Remember growing up thinking it was real.
Kinda dissapointed when I found out it wasn't.

 

i don't care if it's not real, cannibal holocaust is one of my favorite films. people always remember the blood and guts (which, i mean, is the point, but whatever) and forget that it was innovative at the time for using the idea of people making a documentary captureing their own deaths on film. where do you think the people who made the blair witch project got the idea from?

 

also, the vast majority of the graphic scenes in philosophy of a knife are faked, making it akin to an art-film faces of death. it's a great film, but i'm just pointing that out.

 

I've seen Cannibal Holocaust.
I'm 16, saw it when I was 15 and was convinced
it was all real until my drama teacher poked a hole
in that idea. And then I was really, really disapointed.

The cutting open of the turtle made me really sad for some reason.

 

Personally, I was relieved

 

awe.

 

I've seen it... it's pretty much what you'd expect, but it's probably better for your brain than something like '10,000 BC' or 'The Day After Tomorrow'.

 

I saw it in the theatre a few years ago at a midnite screening. I thought it was entertaining, worth watching, I didn't think it was real though. Kinda stylized as a narrative mondo movie, might want to check out "Faces of Death", which has some real death scenes or "Shocking Asia" which has some other weird real stuff.

 

I saw it in the theatre and it was O.K a llittle too much shock value and not enough substance.

 

I agree. I still love it, though.

 

I've decided not to see it.

 

It's a pretty gruesome film. I saw it once. Like 10 years ago.

 

I saw it, I like it, and of course, their goal was to make a movie to make people talk about it, they did, dont you think, we are here writing on a forum about a movie that is 30 years old, they did their job. A cult movie.

 

I downloaded it, and have flipped through it. I didnt catch anything that was particularly disturbing, but then again maybe I need to watch it straight through to get the context.

 

Movies only truly shock when you know nothing about them going in.
