a 2003 sequel or prequel or remake or ripoff of cannibal holocaust . direct by bruno mattei . ok and sure and why the hell not . it not like it be shoot on video and right . . sigh . alright and let me start over . cannibal holocaust represent the beginning . mattei remake of the undisputed king of the ever traumatizing and italian cannibal sub genre . now and when first hearing about it and and possibly even sit through it and one word that may or may not come to mind be pathetic and or possibly desperate and maybe even typical . the truth be and this day in time and with big budget super hero or fantasy movie rule the world and and most exploitation sub genre be dead and buried and we should consider ourselves lucky to have access to authentic and modern day and italian cannibal gore and and yes and i realize that vincent dawn make it and and i be fine with it . a nearly identical story . sadistic film crew and in the amazon and look for proof of a primitive tribe of cannibal for shock tv and to further their career . everyone desire to keep on shooting and no matter how bang up they get and be exaggerate to humorous level and and this version be every bit a brutal and unflinching a the original and or at least close enough . unfortunately and the whole shot on video thing be pretty much and the only difference . nothing too original or thought provoking and just the same old impalings and rapings ( real ) animal killing and cannibal burning and let get the hell out of here and and i wonder who the real cannibal be . you know the drill by now . one have to wonder how bad and financially ( or mentally ) thing be for mattei and for him to pull something like this and ( once again ) this day in time and but i be glad he do . it like herschell lewis blood feast 2 and from a few year ago and it just give you that warm and fuzzy feeling of nostalgia for a long forgotten era and and for that alone and this piece of garbage be a ok in my book . not quite on par with mattei earlier work and like my favorite and hell of the living dead and and not quite as real a the one from the golden era ( minus cannibal terror ) and but a rare treat and no matter how you look at it . bruno mattei be dead now and which probably mean that this be it . so and do not be too hard on it and in fact and try to enjoy it and try to overlook the many and many flaw and and accept it for what it be and the last of the italian cannibal gore epic . positive .
