Cannibal Holocaust (1980)
On a mission that looks even more terrifying in the forests, where the operation is a rescue mission in the Amazon rainforest. There, a professor stumbles through a film filmed by a missing documentary crew. A rescue mission may be dangerous when a man discovers that there is another cannibal scientist who can transcend his most blunt imaginations and create havoc everywhere in the forest.

This is, bar none, the most revolting, weird and disturbing cannibal film I have ever seen.

The completely heinous nature of the film...is exposed through its own inconsistencies.

An enormous master work from Ruggero Deodato whose own film has pretty much guaranteed to outlive its creator.

Basically perfect: it achieves its goals in virtually every respect. Deodato made a movie whose purpose is to make me feel awful, and I do.

Its pointed attack on exploitative film-making seems somewhat rich in the circumstances, but this is well made, uniquely unpleasant and almost deserving of its huge cult status.

Ruggero Deodato's purposefully unwatchable opus questions the film image's validity while debasing it
