Italian maestro Ruggero Deodato's landmark found footage cannibal film reveals the fate of four documentary filmmakers lost in the Amazonian jungle, highlighting their descent into inhuman depravity with unflinching realism and extreme cruelty. Not for the faint of heart.

Cannibal Holocaust (1980)

The idyllic seaside town of Potter's Bluff finds its tranquility disturbed by a series of violent murders. Tragedy becomes impossible when the local sheriff discovers the victims are somehow resurrecting as cheerfully ordinary residents about town. An atmospheric shock classic.

In a trashy horror movie, a young man and his friends visit his disabled uncle. Their mundane trip is interrupted by a neighboring film crew shooting on location. Soon, real-life violence mimics the movie's script, earning it a 1-star rating for sheer trashiness.
