Do not watch if easily offended; and rest assured, this last part of Cannibal Holocaust doesn't contain animal cruelty.

Cannibal Holocaust (1980) is a controversial exploitation film directed by Ruggero Deodato and based on a screenplay written by Gianfranco Clerici and Giorgio Stegani.

Filmed in the Amazon Rainforest, it focuses on a team of four fictional documentarians who head deep into the jungle to make a documentary on the primitive native tribes that live there. After two months and no word from the team, a famous anthropologist is sent on a rescue mission in hopes of finding the team alive.

Cannibal Holocaust caused a storm of controversy upon its release, and was banned outright in many countries. Deodato was even arrested and charged with murder, but set free when he provided evidence that swept aside all accusations. The film has now acquired a legendary cult status.

Since its original release, Cannibal Holocaust has been the target of censorship by moral and animal activists. Other than graphic gore, the film contains several scenes of sexual violence and genuine cruelty to animals, issues which find Cannibal Holocaust in the midst of controversy even to this day; in 2006, Entertainment Weekly magazine named Cannibal Holocaust as the 20th most controversial film of all-time.
