10 Great Gory Films to Watch

3. Cannibal Holocaust (1980)

We have The Hills Have Eyes and Wrong Turn, but Cannibal Holocaust should have its own category for cannibal horror. Originally thought to be a snuff film, Ruggero Deodato was put on trial and charged for obscenity and eventually murder. They had to actually prove their innocence by showing that the human deaths, rape, and abortion were staged. However, the animal deaths were indeed real. They murdered a tarantula, turtle, pig, snake, and two monkeys. In fact, they were the inspiration for the animal ethics in film law.
