Exploitation films have been popular all over the world. There is many exploitation films in English and other languages. The most notorious are from Italian and Japanese film industry. Italian and Japanese are very violant and contains nudity and sex. Japanese films are known for their violence.
One of the famous exploitation film which I happened to see is Cannibal Holocaust. This film is directed by Ruggero Deodato an Italian director. The film is in English. This film has caused many controversies. This movie tells the story of four documentarians who journey deep into the Amazon jungle to film indigenous tribes. They fail to retain. A famous anthropologist travel into the jungle, to find out what happened to them. He found that they are killed by the cannibals. But, he manages to retrieve the film magazines from the tribe in return to a mini tape recorder.
The professor then returns, and views the cans of films. Which contains footage of the expedition of the dead documentarians. It also shows their death.
It contains lot of graphic scenes of violence, nudity and sex. Many animals are killed in real for the film. This has caused many controversies. The death of the crew seemed to so realistic tha the Director of the film was arrested for making Snuff film. The actors had to undergo a contract according which they would not appear before the media for a year, to give the film Snuff film look. But this contract had to be cancelled, to prove that they are alive before the court.
To me the film and the style of picturisation seemed appealing. Especially the camera work was good. The killings looked real.
Those who love such real looking violence would love this film. This film is not for light hearted people.
When I first read about the film, I was curious about the film, but to me the scenes didn’t look much horrifying, because, the killing of animals and all that are shown daily on tv channels like discovery and animal planet. I have seen such films and real footages earlier. But still the film is good.
