Zombie Holocaust? Is that the Italian film where everyone thought the cannibal tribe was real?
That was actually Cannibal Holocaust, which is also on my list.
Oh, right. I haven't seen it, but I know that in general I tend to lean towards horror films with entertaining storylines, so that one in particular doesn't appeal. I did find it interesting, though, that the film-makers had to go on trial to prove that people hadn't actually died to make the film.
What appealed to me the most about Cannibal Holocaust is the very strong theme of who the real savages are. The "civil" documentarians were far more savage and cruel than the cannibals.
