Lacking substance... bad acting... repetetive soundtrack?
Substance is something Cannibal Holocaust has in abundance ("found" footage of some racist jungle atrocities, and its startling retribution), the acting is more than commendable (remember at some points the actors are acting "within" acting) though the dubbing is at times questionable, and the much respected Riz Orlani soundtrack is used to devastating effect throughout (unnervingly soft and dreamy during some atrocity sequences, and harder in the more passive scenes) - most soundtracks of course stay within their own boundaries to ensure the constant "sound" of the film.
As for "being into" animal slaughter... what of a man who praises Aftermath, Lolita, The New York Ripper or just about any other contentious film? Or is the authenticity of this footage the problem?
In which case, do not champion Deep Red, The Isle or Men Behind the Sun?
Or do the sheer number of animal killings turn Cannibal Holocaust into animal-snuff, not cinema?
