I've seen the documentary and completely agree with Mike Hostench. It's clearly made with skill and passion, and is a fascinating look at the background to filming, the locations, and people involved. I half expected it to be a documentary about the pros and cons of the film, its merits, influence, and place within the Italian cannibal cycle.
I was therefore very pleasantly surprised to find a compelling travelogue with interesting interview subjects. I really liked the way Calum and Naomi were able to use several bits of film to link Cannibal Holocaust and Cannibal Ferox, showing how they are connected, and having the guided tour around the locations was very illuminating and engaging.
