I am interested to see what happens with the CH blu-ray release.
I don't particularly like the animal cruelty in Cannibal Holocaust, the thought that those poor animals died for entertainment BUT to say it offends me to the point that I won't watch it would be very hypocritical of me. Animals are killed every day for food, fashion and sport and I think we are all guilty of exploiting animals to some extent unless you are living a hardcore vegan lifestyle.
I probably would be happy to watch the film sans animal cruelty, but only if absolutely everything else in the film was left in tact. Unfortunately I can't see the BBFC passing some of the scenes in the film, such as the wooden dildo/spiked mudball scene and rapes scenes given their policies on sexual violence. Shame really.
