Although the courts confiscated the film based on a citizen's complaint, the initial audience reaction was positive. Jack is hit by a spear, and Alan shoots him so the team can film how the natives mutilate his corpse. Monroe expresses concerns over the staged scenes and poor treatment of the natives, but his worries are ignored.

Ruggero Deodato's Cannibal Holocaust will soon be coming to the video game world, but why would studios choose this movie for a video game adaptation? Cannibal Holocaust achieved notoriety because its graphic violence aroused a great deal of controversy. They promptly spot a large turtle, which they butcher and eat. Thankfully, the still very much alive actors in question were summoned to disprove the allegations, and Deodato also revealed to the court how he accomplished some of the shocking gore effects. Not that he's done it, or has he met anyone who has — but when it comes to cannibalism, the year-old director is still something of an authority. Thus, when Deodato claimed that he had not killed the group, questions arose as to why the actors were in no other media if they were alive. Monroe wants to see the raw footage first. Authenticity Guarantee. Deodato fought in the courts for three additional years to get his film un-banned. The film asks the questions 'What is it to be 'civilized'?

Scariest Found Footage Horror Movie? The locale presented many problems for the production, in particular the heat and sudden rain storms, which sporadically delayed filming. Sean Axmaker praised the structure and set-up of the film, saying, "It's a weird movie with an awkward narrative, which Deodato makes all the more effective with his grimy sheen of documentary realism, while Riz Ortolani's unsettlingly lovely, elegiac score provides a weird undercurrent. The music itself is a variety of styles, from a gentle melody in the "Main Theme", to a sad and flowing score in "Crucified Woman", and faster and more upbeat tracks in "Cameraman's Recreation", "Relaxing in the Savannah", and "Drinking Coco".

  • Resavoring Cannibal Holocaust As a Mockumentary
    hobbs Back to Issue 7 "Eat it alive and swallow it whole!": Resavoring Cannibal Holocaust as a Mockumentary by Carolina Gabriela Jauregui ©2004 "The worst returns to laughter" Shakespeare, King Lear We all have an appetite for seeing, an appétit de l'oeuil as Lacan explains it: it is through our eyes that we ingest the Other, the world.1 And in this sense, what better way to introduce a film on anthropophagy, Ruggero Deodato's 1979 film, Cannibal Holocaust, than through the different ways it has been seen.2 It seems mankind has forever been obsessed with the need to understand the world through the eyes, with the need for visual evidence. From Thomas the Apostle, to Othello's "ocular proof," to our television "reality shows," as the saying goes: "Seeing is believing." We have redefined ourselves as Homo Videns: breathers, consumers, dependants, and creators of images. Truth, in our society, now hinges on the visual; it is mediated by images. Thus it is from the necessity for ocular proof that Cinéma Vérité, Direct Cinema, documentary filmmaking and the mockumentary or mock-documentary genre stem. It is within this tradition that the Italian production Cannibal Holocaust inserts itself, as a hybrid trans-genre film. To better understand this film, I will not only look at it as a traditional horror film, but also as a contemporary mockumentary satire that presents itself as "reality" and highlights the spectator’s eye/I’s primal appetite. In the manner of Peter Watkins' film Culloden, Deodato's film is intended to confuse the audience's

  • Spaghetti Cinema University of Bedfordshire, 9-10 May 2014
    Spaghetti Cinema University of Bedfordshire, 9-10 May 2014 What is Spaghetti Cinema and Why Does it Work? Devised by Dr. Austin Fisher and first held in 2013, Spaghetti Cinema is an academic conference and film festival that celebrates the history and contemporary reach of Italian genre cinema. The first event focused on Spaghetti Westerns and the next was a two-day event dedicated to the giallo and Italian horror cinema. Both these events took place in association with the University of Bedfordshire. The balance of academic rigour and cinematic appreciation is a key element of the Spaghetti Cinema approach. The 2014 event featured screenings of Dario Argento’s Phenomena (1985), Lucio Fulci’s ...E tu vivrai nel terrore! L'aldilà/The Beyond (1981) and Ruggero Deodato’s Ultimo mondo cannibale/Last Cannibal World (1977). These screenings were set in context by the appearance of figures involved in varying degrees in the production of the films including Deodato himself alongside his Last Cannibal World actress Me Me Lai. The event also welcomed Luigi Cozzi who worked on the special effects for Phenomena and star of The Beyond, Catriona MacColl. Spaghetti Cinema represents an evolution in both academic conference and film festival terms. Fujiwara claims that festivals have seen a ‘calcification of taste’ (2013: 218), while Cousins argues that ‘so many of them present retrospectives of, or tributes to, filmmakers, genres, or themes that are already well established, part of the canon’ (2013a: 169). Cousins also states that ‘[they should] look at the past of film culture in the broadest geographical terms’ (2013a: 169).

  • Why Found Footage Horror Films Matter : Introduction
    Why Found Footage Horror Films Matter : Introduction Peter Turner, Oxford Brookes University The cinematic image of a young woman staring into the camera – crying, hyperventilating, and talking directly to her audience – has become the definitive image of The Blair Witch Project (Myrick and Sanchez, 1999). It is arguably the most famous scene, and certainly the most parodied image of found footage horror cinema in general, perhaps even one of the defining images of cinema in the 1990s. This character, Heather Donahue, is played by a hitherto unknown actress called Heather Donahue, in her feature debut. From what we see on screen, and the manner in which her monologue is delivered, it can be inferred that she is not reciting scripted lines. She does not seem to be acting; her fear appears genuine. Heather is alone in a dark tent, shooting this footage herself with a handheld camera. The shot did not look like most other horror films that had been previously shown in cinemas; it is poorly framed, poorly lit, and the character knows and acknowledges that she is on camera. There had been previous films in this style: Cannibal Holocaust (Deodato, 1980) contains the use of ‘found footage’ within its narrative structure, and Man Bites Dog (Belvaux, Bonzel and Poelvoorde, 1992) is a mock-documentary that purports to be completely filmed by a diegetic film crew. However, neither of these films had the cultural impact or box office success of The Blair Witch Project, a film that eventually spawned numerous imitators, and arguably the entire found footage horror sub- genre that now consists of hundreds of films.1 There is a straightforward economic reason why filmmakers continue to produce found footage horror films.

  • Il Profumo Della Signora in Nero and the Giallo Film
    Scope: An Online Journal of Film and Television Studies Issue 22 February 2012 Cannibals and Other Impossible Bodies: Il Profumo Della Signora In Nero and the Giallo film Alexandra Heller-Nicholas, Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne, Australia For cult film audiences and academics alike, the Italian giallo film is considered predominantly an auteurist domain, where films by the subgenre‟s big names—Mario and Lamberto Bava, Lucio Fulci, Aldo Lado, Sergio Martino, Umberto Lenzi, Luciano Ercoli, and of course Dario Argento—have generally garnered the most attention. Translating literally to “yellow,” the word giallo refers to the yellow covers of the pulp crime novels released by publisher Mondadori during the 1920s, locating the origins of the giallo in the work of authors such as Edgar Wallace. As one of the first giallo films, Mario Bava‟s The Girl Who Knew Too Much (La ragazza che sapev troppo, 1962) contains many of the giallo film‟s signature elements: sex, crime, and most famously a psychotic killer in black leather gloves. But as Mikel J. Koven notes in his book La Dolce Morte: Vernacular Cinema and the Italian Giallo Film (2006), these generic traits are far from uniform, and a privileging of the most well- known giallo auteurs risks missing the subgenre‟s thematic foundations. Inherent to Koven‟s analysis of giallo is its status as a fundamentally Italian cultural phenomenon. However, the reality of their production contexts speaks of a category that expanded far beyond national borders. While the giallo film is commonly discussed in terms of its fundamental “Italianness,” it is worthy of note that 68 of the 134 films listed in Adrian Luther Smith‟s book Blood and Black Lace: The Definitive Guide to Italian Sex and Horror Movies (1999) are international co-productions.
