Sure I've eaten turtle soup once or twice but the scene still bothered me. Hell, I eat meat, but I have no desire to see what goes on in a slaughterhouse, I'd probably be disgusted and repulsed. Maybe that's hypocritical of me, but I'm sure I'm far from alone in that.
Personally, although I'm not a big fan of animal deaths in films, I've always thought it was done in Cannibal Holocaust to blur reality and fakery. People would be hit in the face with horrific real animal deaths, and then start thinking "Wow, what else is real in this film?" and perhaps be a little more susceptable to believing the effects involving human deaths. The Italian courts were fooled, director Ruggero Deodato had to testify and prove that the impaled woman scene was a special effect and needed to produce the very much alive actress to authorities.

There's an unpleasant scene in Cannibal Holocaust to offend just about any viewer. Personally, I was commenting on the scene that I found most 'gut wrenching'. I think that movies such as Cannibal Holocaust, and indeed Man Behind the Sun, which blur the distinction between real, and simulated violence on screen, must be approached and discussed differently to films that contain simulated violence, such as 'I spit on your grave'.
After watching Rambo I understand the Revenge Film Payoff idea, Death Proof etc. I guess I might have gotten "the message" if I had watched it to the end.
I haven,t seen Canibal Holocost in a while. Just the bootleg I brought back from the Pacific before it was available here. that was 5 years or so back.
My buddy the gore hound says 120 days of Sodom is the worst for him. But he still is lookig for more shocking stuff.
Animal Death? I think it was a 70s action film with Teddy Savalis that had a long scene of sctual footage from isside a slaughterhouse. Seen from the point of view of a very young illegal worker. Border Cop?
Faces of Death was pretty nortorious for teh animal deaths.
Wel we know what Hostel three will be.

Not gruesome or horrific but just a film that sends shivers through me is THE CHANGELING with George C Scott.Leave a comment:

I get what you're saying, but the animals in this movie weren't killed in any kind of normal way - that wouldn't have ticked me off - they were basically just used as props and tortured.Leave a comment:

very "Westerner" attitude here.
People EAT turtle. Everyday. That turtle was probably eaten.
Where do you think McNuggets originally come from? live animals.
Theres a fate worse than "Turtle Death" and that is being exploited by foriegn filmakers. Those "Extras" didnt know what the hell they were doing nor the world would see it.
That movie was like Bruno does Hostel
Most disturbing for me was I spit on your grave. At least the first 15 minutes. I turned it off.Last edited by babycyclops; Nov 1, '10, 1:18 AM.Leave a comment:

I kept thinking that the turtle could have been 50 or 60 years old, maybe older, and here it is being killed for the sake of a film.

I actually watched the version of Cannibal Holocaust without the animal stuff. There's 2 options on the DVD.Leave a comment:

Cannibal Holocaust as a horror movie did not bother me. What bothered me was the killing of the animals. I have a soft spot for animals and felt it was in VERY poor taste.
The only thing that got to me about the Human centipede is when the "head" of the centipede had to "relieve" himself.Leave a comment:

I like Cannibal Holocaust but it's tough to watch the scene where they are tearing apart that big turtle. I have no problem with the human "killings" because I know they are fake.Leave a comment:

The parts where they killed animals kinda do make it animal snuff. I wasn't effected too much by the film horror-wise, but felt icky about the people involved in making the movie. Personally, not a fan.Leave a comment:
