Cannibal Holocaust (Italy, 1980)

With that title, what can you expect? It says it all, and it gives you an idea of the hardcore scenes that the movie contains. Director Ruggero Deodato decides to shoot this film in Colombia, right on the shores of the Amazonas river in the middle of the jungle. The film tells the story of a group of journalists who go look for a cannibal tribe. And of course they find it, but they all get killed, and eaten for that matter. Years later, another expeditionist goes to the same place and recovers the film tapes that the group had left. When he goes back to New York and watches all the reels, he and his crew are shocked (to say the least!) with what they see. Cannibalistic rituals, murderous rapes and killings, and a lot of flesh eating. This movie was banned for three years in Italy right after its release and many compare its plot to that of the Blair Witch Project. And this film was shot 20 years before! But believe me, this movie makes Blair Witch Project look like entertainment for kids.
