Cannibal Ferox Re-Released on DVD

Flipping sweet.  Been looking for this for a long time.

Lol. Yeah, I'd rather see an exploitation film over some corny film like the covenant. Still, what i hate about exploitation films is that they lack plot and character development and substitute it by filming numerous shock and gore scenes. I understand that some people love them though. I personally just don't like them and would rather see some more in-depth movies like The Thing(which had both gore and plot)and Dawn of the Dead.

Your right about that. They took Cannibal Holocaust way too far with the animals. They even slaughtered a live sea turtle on camera. I'm not quite sure what was running through their minds when they decided that would be a good thing to film.

I read that somewhere actually. Saying that they seem to always avoid that question of why they used real animals to perform those scenes.

I'm sure PETA is aware of it, but theres not much they can do now. The movie has been available over here in the U.S. too long for them to take any action now. It would just be like beating a dead dog.

I'm sure it would be. Now imagine an exploitation film focused solely on animal murder. That my friend would cause quite a stir among the ranks of PETA.

I have never seen Cannibal Ferox and I'm still curious about it. I mean I think Cannibal Holocaust is a great film.
Those animals that were killed were eaten by the actors and crew. It just so happened that they filmed those people killing them.
If you have ever hunted before then those scenes are nothing. They didn't just kill them for the sake of killing. It was food. I know they did exploit it, and it didn't have to be in the movie but that was to show their true characters.
Even if it wasn't in the film they still have to eat.
I don't mean to come off as cruel because I'm not a cruel person. This debate is not new and has been going on since this flick came out.

Are you kidding? Do you really think if they were filming a movie that they wouldn't have prepared food earlier? No matter how low a budget they had, they would have had enough to feed the actors and crew. No, those animals were used purely for exploitation. No where in any commentary or in any article was it stated that those animals were used for anything other than filming purposes.

In the interview he talks about how he was young when he made the film and how just killing the animals for his film was something he would never do now. Hes gotten older and he realizes how stupid it was to do at the time.. I looked for the interview but I can't seem to find it.. It was on Fangoria..

As far as feeding the crew, maybe they did but they killed that thing specifically for the movie.. Maybe later they decided to eat it but that wasn't the intent..
