Cannibal Holocaust

[JamesKurtovich]

Anybody seen this film? I watched it on Google (entire film is, I believe, divided into two segments) as I've heard so much about it.

What can I say, I abhor every second as it utterly disgusted me and still I find myself thinking about certain scenes that left a mark in that realm of the mind that's reserved only for the most disturbing (Oldboy's tongue scene, for example). Did it achieve its goal? Was it well made? I think so. But that doesn't mean I have to like it. The subject matter includes abortion, gang rape, killings and torture, execution, and everything else that makes your stomach churn. Also, some number of animals are actually killed in front of the camera (they chop two monkeys skulls in half, cut a turtles head off and show his guts as they take the shell off the body, cut up a tarantula, and kill a muskrat-thing). I can take quite a bit from movies, but this movie pushed the envelope. Easily the nastiest film I've ever seen.

Have you seen it? What was your reaction? What are other films that church your stomach (Last House on the Left is a close second, I've heard)?
