So, in Horror and Fantasy films we're watching this film called "Canibal Holocaust" which our teacher stated is supposed to be the most controversial horror movie ever. And, well, it's kinda rough to watch. I'm trying to remember everything there was. Of course there's scenes of people eating human flesh, but that's not that big of a deal since that much is fake. Um, oh there was a scene where the protagonists' group comes across a ritual where a woman caught in adultry is dragged through the mud by ropes, hangs those ropes on a dead tree and then proceeds to fuck her with a sharp stone while pulling her up by her hair between thrusts. Then he grabs mud with rocks and bones in it, spits in it and smashes it against her bleeding crotch. Then kills her.
There are scenes where real living animals are killed and gutted, starting with a muskrat, then smaller animals like snakes, tarantulas, and then a large turtle which was very very graphic. Twitching and oozing. I ate dinner right afterwards, and strangely the food tasted better than normal. There was rape and skeletons and full frontal nudity every few minuets from the natives and the white protagonists. Young girls, little boys, didn't matter.
What really really scares me the most is that none of it scared me in the least. o.o It was different and graphic and interesting, but I wasn't sickened. I was just more hungry for dinner than I had been. I'm looking forward to watching the last part. It stopped just as they were beginning to amputate their guide's leg because he had been bitten by a snake.
