I'm writing a review of this wonderful family film : any thoughts and/or advice?
We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness.

Olivia Bauer

Isn't that known as the most violent film of all time?

Trevor

That's why I said it's a wonderful family film. :) The only nice thing about it is the theme music.

No..Nothing seems weird to me.
If it isnt weird- think Norman Bates.
Everyones crazy.

Gotta say I agree. It reminds me of this:

And a bit of Apocalypse Now thrown in, from a psychological standpoint.
Raw bacon is GREAT! It's like regular bacon, only faster, and it doesn't burn the roof of your mouth!

It sucks when you can't remember one cannibal film from another.  I think I've seen this one.

I'm sure you'd at least remember this one. I know I did.

Perfect party movie also, you guys should try it sometime. Trust me your friends will love you for it.

It's one of those movies that really seperate high and low art fans. I think it kicks ass, but you could easily take it apart for the various faults or the politically incorrect stuff.

To review a movie like CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST, I think it is important to concentrate on its whimsical elements, feel-good moments, and wacky characters.

"Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much leave me the hell alone."

All done: I'll post it soon.
We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness.

I would agree with you but my stomach doesn't.  :teddyr:

I wish I could have written the voiceover narration for the theatrical trailer:

"Hilarity abounds as a wacky group of ne'er-do-wells come face-to-face with cannibals in . . . CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST!  You'll laugh until you cry when you see the zany antics of these bumbling knuckleheads as they travel to the heart of a jungle paradise . . . "

"Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much leave me the hell alone."
