But not the name of the film, sadly!

Well this is pretty amazing news.

I've actually never watched the film - the descriptions of the animal violence put me off and I'm buggered if I'm going to pay to watch Vipco's 'U' rated version.

However, it does have a reputation as a very powerful film, so if it gets through the BBFC uncut I'll definitely be buying this one.

I'm really not one to wish ill-health on anyone but I'd be quite satisfied if he got maimed by an animal. Especially if it were part of one of his shows.
Surely it'd be better if he was 'accidentally' impaled on a stick through arse and mouth?

An animal cruelty free version would be nice. Mine's the Ultra bit 2 Disc edition, so there's no such option to view it without any of the animal violence. I'll be interested to see what else happens with this release if Shameless have gotten extras for it that have never been seen, or other footage. So, it'll be nice to see! I'd pick it up for that alone.

Cannibal Holocaust on Blu-Ray did I hear!
If any film is going to get me to sign-up to this forum (after a good year of lurking) it is this one.

Pleased to hear that Shameless are behind this, it seems to me a no-brainer, if any film would be worth throwing a hefty advertising campaign behind it is this one ("the most notorious nasty of all time....blah, blah, blah"), they could make a mint off this one, if done well, drawing in the casual fan and the aficionado.

As for the new-cut I do hope it is merely the removal of the animal cruelty (which adds nothing to the powerful nature of the film) and addition of new scenes (we can all hope!).

Taking a steer from Melonfarmers, how much of the below do we feel would remain intact when resubmitted to the BBFC (bar the animal cruelty):

The distributor therefore agreed to make five minutes 44 seconds of cuts to remove unacceptable elements, after which the film was passed '18' for video and DVD release.

* The killing of a muskrat has been deleted
* Our intrepid adventurers witness the riverside murder and mutilation of a woman presumably by her husband. We don't get to witness:
o the girl being dragged through the mud and having her legs forced apart
o the girl struggling and being raped with a wooden dildo
o the man raising a mudball with spikes and the subsequent shot of genital mutilation
* Another woman getting raped on the river bank has been removed
* The disembowelling of a giant turtle has been predictably deleted
* A monkey gets his head sliced open and its blood is drained into a bowl...but not in the censored version
* The kicking of a tethered pig has been removed and its subsequent shooting and death
* The rape one of a native girl by 3 men has been reduced
* The cannibals eventually overpower the adventurers. The woman in the party gets stripped and raped but not in the UK version.
* The woman's death scene is missing nudity shots.


I remember the first rape scene with the wooden dildo being particularly disturbing on the first viewing (Ortolani's score making it all the more so), I would have my doubts as to that scene and the scene with the genital mutilation after the spiked mud ball.

Thoughts?

In any event an exclusive cut of the film presented by Deodato in glorious H.D is something to wet the appetite and presents much intrigue, no doubt one of 2011's most anticipated releases.

Good luck with it folks.

(oh and hello everyone!)

As mentioned earlier,the score for CH is one of the most beautiful scores ever,such a pleasant melody for such a brutal film!

Let's hope the Vladimir boy who 'rescored' Romero's classic NOTLD isn't mates with Deodato!


Should've kept that one for April the 1st!

Well, all the animal cruelty would have to go as per their guidelines so count all that out.

As for the sexual violence, I'd say.. 50/50. It's one of the things the BBFC haven't changed much on. It's nearly okay to show anything aslong as it isn't sexualised torture or rape these days. Apparently there SOME research that shows that it MAY be harmful to certain viewers so it's a policy they'll always have for a long time. I'm guessing the following would be cut for current '18'.

Shots of the dildo rape and mudspike.
The girl being raped by a cannibal on the riverbank.
Shots of Faye's rape would still be cut, including the shot of her vagina as she dragged away.

So yeah, that's what I think anyway.

This is an essential purchase on Blu Ray for me, looking forward to seeing what goodies we get as extras!
