CH is a great film but it's great because it is really well done, great story, fantastic direction and the crew would have been scared for real.
The tribes are real cannibal tribes for example and the crew didn't know they would have to do some of the things they had to do.

This film though, it has to be said, is not for everyone.
There is some extreme animal cruelty (real) some extreme rape scenes (not real) and not many men can watch a man have his pride and joy chopped off and not many women can like an abortion by hand.

A great, shocking film but it will disturb you and shock you if you get the uncut version, as much for why you are watching it as due to what you see.
There are very few films that have the power to mark you for life and this is one of them, I enjoyed it a lot but couldn't stomach the animal scenes much and had to question what I was willing to allow to entertain me.

They don't make films like this now and I am glad in a lot of respects but sad as until Blaire Witch the art of moving the audience with horror rather than boo are you scared yet? had long been forgotten in the west. BTW once you see this you will know where the BW story came from.

So all in all get it if you want to see how mind blowing horror can be but watch it before you get your mates round to show off, they might just ask you wtf you are doing showing them something like this and label you sick, lol.

Another thing to remember in the UK is that if customs catch you importing this you may well be in trouble, as in more than a fine, this uncut version is right at the top of the trying to pervert society ban list :)

Having said all that (I had to, some people might seriously regret ever having seen this) it is a great film and a great example of how to scare, sicken and blow away your audience with film and get them to question themselves.
As the film points out, I wonder who the real cannibals are, kinda the point of the film really.

Anyway, wasn't trying to put you off this, in fact all this would have no doubt encouraged the younger reader, lol, I just wanted to give an honest account of the film.
Should be in everyones collection, sadly not everyone will make it to the end.
