Uncategorized Splatter Cinema: Cannibal Holocaust
Posted by Curt Holman @Curt_Holman on Tue, Jun 9, 2009 at 1:59 PM
The Plaza Theatre's monthly, ultraviolent Splatter Cinema screening flashes back to 1980 and the highly controversial Italian horror flick, Cannibal Holocaust. Partly a faux-documentary along the lines of The Blair Witch Project, Cannibal Holocaust depicts an ill-fated camera crew's investigation into people-eating up the Amazon. The film features such disturbing, stomach-churning simulations of realism that it was banned in multiple countries and director Ruggero Deodato was arrested in Italy on obscenity charges. Offering the grindiest of grindhouse experiences, Cannibal Holocaust plays at 9:30 p.m. tonight, June 9, and even the trailer of less than two minutes isn't entirely work safe:
