Title: Not Really That Good
Review: After watching a "Top Five Most Disturbing Films Countdown," I thought I'd finally give this film a chance, after years of consideration. Well, it was a let down. Yeah, I'll grant that it has a certain off-putting quality and it isn't exactly light viewing. But still, it is basically a very low budget, amateurish gore-fest, with little redeeming quality. The closing scenes are pretty vivid and the impaled girl is fairly horrendous. But, in the end, Cannibal Holocaust is pretty weak. The final detractor is the fact that several animals were actually killed during its filming. So not only was it amateurish, it was unnecessarily barbaric. In the end, there are many more legitimate films which are far more scary, disturbing and creative. Take a pass on this BS and try: Irreversible, Antichrist, Jacob's Ladder, Requiem For a Dream, Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1973) or many many others.
