Excellent movie.
It's influence was seen when Blair Witch ripped it, sometimes scene for scene, and made trillions.
Awesome music as well.

Good to see it get a bit of recognition.

It's not quite accurate (or fair) to say that Blair Witch ripped it off, although it was obviously heavily influenced by it.

The film is excellent though, it's leaps and bounds above its peers in Italian gore flicks* in terms of depth. I recall the first time I saw it, the group had varying degrees of exposure to this kind of film but I don't think anybody was less shocked than anybody else.

I was upset to miss the screening in the IFI and the Q&A with Ruggero Deodato, but it was out of my control at the time.

* zombie/cannibal - ferox/holocaust/creeping flesh etc

If you are going to get it you will have to buy online to get the uncut version.
The only version that got a general release over here has something in the region of 8 minutes cut from it.
The longest possible version is the ultrabit release.It contains the full "road to hell" sequence that isnt in any other version.
For the edition with the most extras go for the 2 disc grindhouse release of it.
It has the road to hell sequence but its only in the extras section and not in the movie itself.

It is a top,top movie and really is a must for any horror movie fan.

Missed out dude...that was my first time seeing it, about 3yrs ago i think at the ifi horrorthon. Music was really creepy...can still remember how it went. I havnt seen the rest but there was about 5 or 6 other Italian directed cannibal movies with real animals been killed, ferox was one of them...not meant to be as good though.

Otis Driftwood

Of the Italian cannibal movies Ive seen,CH stands head and shoulders above the rest.
Ferox isnt bad and has some nice gore but isnt on a par with Holocaust.
Eaten alive is ok,again,some decent gore but apart from that not a whole lot.
Slave to the Cannibal God is,well,meh.

There are a few others who's title's currently elude me but they are really for completists only.

How much would the Ultrabit dvd be on the web?

The top comes in a nice slipcase and is limited in number.The second one isnt numbered or in the slipcase but is exactly the same.Ive used both sellers in the past and they are both very trustworthy.
