Italian Cannibal Film Appreciation Thread

[Roland Deschain]

I've always loved this sub-genre. I've had Cannibal Holocaust and Cannibal Ferox (uncut) for several years now, and they still affect me the same way as when I first saw them. I've not seen any of the rest of these, and that really shames me. Maybe a little shopping trip is in order. I have some catching up to do.

I'm a recent fan of the cannibal movies as I've went farther and farther into horror I kept coming back and I watched and loved Cannibal Holocaust (minus the animal cruelty which was excessive but meh it was a different time). Enjoyable watches and something that I believe I'll be interested in for years to come and I can't wait to get farther and farther into these films as my horror knowledge grows

btw a local store has a Cannibal Holocaust Delux edition for like 23 bucks and I can't decide if I should get it cause i can't see what type of special features it has, anybody know of a good review of the dvd?

Sadly it doesn't get better then Cannibal Holocaust as far as the sub-genre is concerned. Cannibal Ferox and Jungle Holocaust are worth checking out, but nowhere near as good as CH IMO.

well I don't expect them to thats like showing someone the original Halloween and saying "ok theres more of these but your sorta not gonna get as good as this" but it doesn't mean I don't wanna see more just because I liked the style

Oh don't get me wrong they worth checking out, I was just giving you a heads up. I haven't seen The Mountain of the Cannibal God yet though, I've owned the DVD for years, but never watched it.

I love Cannibal Ferox, Cannibal Holocaust, Eaten Alive, Mountain of the Cannibal God and Horror Cannibal! This is a great sub genre. CH is the best of the bunch, however.
