I love this movie. Your sister is right to love Christian Bale, how could anyone not?

I love this movie too, and Christian Bale is fucking awesome.

Man, I was so disappointed when I saw Cannibal Holocaust. It'd been hyped up since I can remember as being one of the most intense, realistic horror experience put to film..and then I finally saw it, and it was sloppy and dated to the nth degree. I agree that the effects are uniformly pretty good, but the acting is so awful I can't believe anyone thought it was a documentary. Ah, well.
And if you're a fan of gore-horror, I can think of two names that should be very well-known to you: Lucio Fulci and Herschell Gordon Lewis. Not everything they did was great, but most of it is fascinating.

Since when people really care about the acting in a GORE movie? It blows mymind tbh, because it's irrelevant. I save that for drama, thriller and well... all the others except gore. I think everyone who has ever seen the movie agree with you but don't really take it as a big deal. Since the most important thing in a gore movie [in my opinion of course] is that the effects are good enough. And the ones in CH are very very good. That's all that matters to me, that's why I overlooked the lack of good acting, it was even funny at times when I heared some dudes talking in spanish.
The actors were pretty bad, at least the dudes who were doing the "documental" but the savages did a great job imo, although I would like them to scream less since they seemed too retard at times and I'm sure that people that live like that are not stupid.
Thanks for the recommendations btw!

Respectfully disagree. You seem to have skimmed over where I also called the film "sloppy and dated", because it totally is. The effects themselves were fine enough, but they were handled so haphazardly that they didn't really have an impact on me. Another way of saying it, is I saw latex not viscera. I could be being too critical here, and I haven't seen the flick in years...but as it stands, it did nothing for me.
As I stated before, if I want to see gore I'll watch something like The Beyond or Zombi 2...which as I'm sure you'd point out, also have terrible, terrible acting. But in my opinion, the violence has a much more visceral impact. You can say that gore movies are mainly about the gore (which I agree with, to a point) but I think another large thing that makes them work is an intensity and take-no-prisoners attitude...they seem dangerous in a way, you know? Cannibal Holocaust just seemed lightweight.
By the way, sorry to everyone else for turning this into the horror thread. Haha.

Gore doesn't make me feel a thing, it's just plain amusing to me. Thank god I have something to laugh at because I hate the usual comedy movies. :-P So I can't really give an opinion about "some movies in this genre have this dangerous atmosphere and stuff" because it's never there, I just laugh at the dude/girl/furry who got "pwn3d". It's always the same to me.
But I understand your point and respectfully disagree as well :-)
And also... The thing was quiet cheap and limited to 4 000 copies, and since I love to collect stuff, it was a must in everyway possible even if the movie was just for the lulz.
