Some of the Road to Hell footage is fake.

er..we know that

In that case, sorry 'We'! Please forgive me for thinking you didn't know.

:D

WE meaning other members of the forum!

Be sure to see this film, it is quite simply a masterpiece, by any standard, not just European Cult Cinema...

Okay I'll get it off of eBay :)

I'm tempted to say Deodato sold his soul to the Devil for Cannibal Holocaust, but he is a talented film maker even if his filmography is patchy - I'd recommed his 1985 jungle flick, Cut and Run...

It should be mandatory for every Horror fan to watch Cannibal Holocaust at least once - I did, and I won't watch it again. You'll either love or hate it - or you'll simply acknowledge its film-historic importance.
If you want a Deodato film that you'll revisit in the future because of its brilliance, go for an uncut copy of The House on the Edge of the Park and / or the Shameless release for the special features.

Greetings!

Just bought CH off Amazon.

Excellent stuff dude, it's an incredible film, in another league altogether from Cannibal Ferox or Slave of the Cannibal God. Let us know what you think of it when you get 'round to seeing it...

Deodato took some serious heat for the film and in fairness the fx work is so good, one can't be too surprised at the scandal the film caused - that shot of the girl impaled on the stake still has that how-did-they-do-it quality...
