Tema: Holocausto caníbal (Cannibal Holocaust, 1980, Ruggero Deodato)

Se anuncia el lanzamiento en UK de esta película de terror del añó 1980.

Cuatro jóvenes documentalistas se adentran en la selva amazónica (América del Sur) para realizar un reportaje sobre las tribus que habitan en esa región, de las que se dice que todavía practican el canibalismo. Debido a la desaparición de los reporteros, dos meses después un grupo de rescate es enviado para averiguar qué ha sido de ellos; lo único que encuentran es el material filmado sobre su terrible fin.



Shameless Screen Entertainment have announced the UK DVD and Blu-ray Disc release of Cannibal Holocaust on 26th September 2011. Ruggero Deodato has revisited his controversial horror film to produce a brand new Director’s Edit of the film especially for its High Definition debut on Blu-ray.

This new Director’s Edit, which removes or partially hides several instances of real-life animal slaughter, will be released as a special Blu-ray (£24.99 RRP) and as two-disc DVD (£19.99 RRP) edition that includes both the new version and the original full version of Cannibal Holocaust, along with a host of extras specially commissioned for this release.

In a statement explaining the artistic decision to re-edit the film, Deodato says, “At the time, I would have preferred not to kill the animals during the making of the film, but this was requested by the producers. We’d sent them some early dailies and they kept calling us on set in the jungle asking us to shoot increasingly bloody scenes.

“I would not change anything to the film, its structure and content, aside from the fact that, now – thirty years later – I’ve reassessed the way the animals were dealt with. Now I would not do it.”
