I think I'm more disturbed by the fact that I just saw this, in 2015 and immediately said to myself "Hey, that's the guy from Debbie Does Dallas," which I saw on Betamax as a kid.
Aside from the hilarious fact they played that same soft song during every brutal scene, the movie is atrocious. The animal killings were unnecessary and if they'd spent half as much time making the human killings look real, I'd have liked it. How anyone watched this and thought it was real is incomprehensible.
I also found the "moral" laughable, because unlike most revenge scenes, we're only really shown the rape of Faye, which is simply exploitation. Pretty weak all around.

But people weren't as savy in 1980 as they are now.

"Awful, but"
Go back to Adam Sandler's movies, idiot.

"Go back to Adam Sandler's movies, idiot."
I applaud your penetrating insight.

Well, I think it's a great movie. I watch it each year and never grow tired of it. The human killings do look pretty realistic to me by the way.

Cannibal Holocaust is the kind of movies that you either love or hate. I personally love it, but each his own.
