Cannibal Holocaust 4K UHD (1980) [88 Films]

[Mr. Thomsen]

There is no way the muskrat killing will ever pass uncut in the UK. The other cuts were waived as the killings could be argued to be swift and humane. The muskrat, on the other hand, is clearly suffering.

I am split between this being one of my favorite horror films, the indefensibility of the killings and my personal love for animals and hatred against their ill-treatment.

That said, cutting it won't bring any of them back, and I find the movie equally as important as a historical document of the practices of the exploitation film industry of that time. Also, as someone who luckily lives in a country with no adult censorship, I can't stand other people telling me what I can watch or read. So, if 88 Films' release is cut, which it most likely will be, I'll pass on it, just like I did pass on Shameless' disc. Hopefully Grindhouse or some label in Germany will then eventually release it uncut on 4K UHD.
