SHAM031/SHAM201 - Cannibal Holocaust: The BBFC Advice & Decision

[platostotal]

had a friend years ago who had a book on snakes and lizards, think it was that a snake can still move for up to 10 days if decapitated, the body doesn't bleed to death like normal and it's nerves think it's still alive, same might aply to the head, tho would not be sure.

It is bad. I mean, it's a bad movie. Bad, but funny (animal cruelty aside). It's like Lenzi was determined to outdo Deodato, but missed the whole social commentary thing, so you just end up with a very silly but very nasty movie.

How can you resist a film that includes gems of dialogue like:

'There's something I can't quite figure out...'
'What's that?'
'I don't know.'

I mean, c'mon, who wrote that script??

You're right -- it is not a great cannibal movie and that dialogue you quoted is fairly typical of the exchanges within. Actually, looking at those three lines, they could easily be from something like The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra!

Ferox is a repulsive movie if you don't like animal cruelty, it's far more protracted than in CH.

But, John Morghen loses so many body parts you wonder how long he can live!

The BBFC decision is excellent...but it also makes their contunued cutting of films such as The New York Ripper even more frustrating. After all, the scene involved, although gruesome, does not break any law and is not real. The animal violence in CH is.

If the BBFC can now leave real life violence uncensored, surely their is no case for cutting special effects violence in films like NYR?

Motor-reflex twitches aside, something that troubles me is the squealing of the Pig after being shot. Surely indicating a far from quick or humane death. I've never seen the Muskrat/Coatimundi sequence, but the squealing of the Pig was one of the most upsetting moments of animal violence for me. I mean it was enough to make one of the actors completely fluff up his lines, as evident in this interview.

The moment itself is featured, so proceed with caution.

Blimey, this thread reads like the long lost Snuff episode of "Animal Magic"

Just glad our friends at the Animal Liberation Front aren't posting on here. Hope the mods are on the lookout for avatars with beret wearing cabbage munchers. Just joking if there are any of course, heh heh.

Where is this interview from, please?
