I have Cannibal Holocaust in 4k but I doubt I?d buy any other cannibalism films at this point they?re all the same lol.

[Susan Foreman]

I have the Blu-Rays of 'Cannibal Holocaust' (88Films), 'Cannibal Ferox' and 'Mountain Of The Cannibal God' (both Shameless)

The only one which I think is a well-made film is Holocaust

Although it's not really a genre I like, I do think that the Italian cannibal films of the 70's are historically valuable for fans of low budget exploitation films. These were made in a different age, and I think it is always interesting seeing things from a period that no longer exists
