The horror of the ‘Cannibal Holocaust’ remains the same today
The horror Italian film ‘Cannibal Holocaust’ has been fraught with controversy, from cannibalistic holocaust to murder charges. Italian horror has a much bigger worldwide presence in the 1980s than it does today, with dozens of horror flicks emerging from the European nation. The films of directors like Dario Argento and Lucio Fulci may be strong, but this Italian film was the one that shook cinema to its roots.
The film shows the death of animals
Though it’s not hard to understand why jungle cannibal movies aren’t really a thing anymore. ‘Cannibal Holocaust’ was released in 1980 and was directed by Ruggero Deodato. Robert Kerman began working in film after first pursuing a career in the adult film industry. However, despite all its accolades, Cannibal Holocaust remains one of the most controversial horror films ever made for a number of reasons.
film banned all over the world
So much vandalism and cruelty was shown in this film that it is not possible for the people to watch it. That’s why the court banned it even before its release. This ban is still in place in many countries. Painful scenes of violence were shown in this film so that it looks real. For this, the director got the actors to kill many animals. Even the real rape scenes were shown in the film to maintain its authenticity.
The story of ‘Cannibal Holocaust’
Talking about the story of the film, it was based on the tribals living in the forests. The Hindi meaning of the title of the film is ‘The Holocaust of the Cannibals’. The director tried his best to keep the film alive but VFX were not there at that time, due to which he had to do all this to make the scenes look real. In such a situation, the director just thought that it would be better to do all this in real and you know the story after that.
Case was run on the director
Another thing related to the film is that when actress Francesca Ciardi refused to strip for a scene, the director scolded her a lot. But later the actress did that scene without clothes. According to reports, the actors used to vomit on the sets during the shoot, some even went into depression. There are also reports that the case against the director was going on for several days.
