Cannibal Holocaust is a horror film released in 1980, directed by Ruggero Deodato and scripted by Gianfranco Clerici. Shot in the Amazon, the film tells the story of four documentary filmmakers who go deep into the jungle to film indigenous people. Two months later, after the group disappears, renowned anthropologist Harold Monroe travels on a rescue mission to find them. He manages to recover the lost cans of film, which reveal the fate of the missing filmmakers.
Cannibal Holocaust is a film well known for the controversy and controversy it caused soon after its release. The film was seized by a magistrate in Milan, Italy, and Ruggero Deodato was arrested on obscenity charges 10 days after its premiere.
It was also accused of making a snuff film (where actors actually die), due to rumors that some actors were actually killed. This belief was reinforced by the fact that there was a contract signed between the director and the cast, which stipulated that they could show their faces in any media tool only after a year after the film's release.
Despite the brutality that the film presents, the investigation showed that it was not a snuff film and that all the actors were alive. Despite the fact that crimes against animals were committed during filming.
