This gives a visual
aid to the phrase-UP YOURS! I don't know about you but I love
Italian horror films-especially those having to do with cannibalism
(I think
I should seek professional help! Ha!) Few can stomach sitting
through the entire movie- it is choked full of unrelenting GORE, it
really
doesn't get anymore shocking than this celluloid splatterpiece!
Famed Italian director Ruggero Deadoto deserves an Oscar for this work
of
cinematic art! This film was the predecessor to the "Blair Witch
Project". It was the first film to use the premise of found film
footage to recreate the story. Even Gregg
Hale who created the "Blair
Witch Project" pays homage to this
forerunning film by stating - "If we had seen Cannibal Holocaust

| we probably wouldn't have - We'd have been like, "awww, it's been done". But Ed and I are convinced. The cadaver, the girl on the pole, we're convinced that's real. There's no way that body is fake!" Well I hate to burst your illusion Greg and Ed but the impaled girl on the pole is fake-the actress, who was actually one of the script supervisors, is skillfully sitting on a small bike seat (I'd buy that seat if it ever appeared on eBay! Ha!) and the wooden pole coming out of her mouth is made of ultra light balsa wood! But I must say this is one of the most shocking publicity pictures of all time! This "Killing Time Klock" features the impaled cannibal gal and the stars of the film filming the horrific sight for their documentary! Above them is the movie logo along with the dierectors name! It's a well-known fact that the movie poster claims that this film has been banned in 34 countries. So I pay a tribute to this clever marketing hype by adding the "BANNED in 34 Counties" movie warning on the outside of the clear klock face-it gives the whole horrific klock a killer 3/D effect! Now let me draw you attention to the kustom klock hands-the hour hand is a 16mm film camera - just like the ones the characters were using before they got consumed! The minute hand resembles a blood stained strip of film with some jungle foliage wrapped around it, and in the very center of the second hand is a film reel that revolves around 24 hours a day! Yes all of this imagery ties in perfectly with the films plot, if you haven't seen this movie yet, go out and see it now, you won't be disappointed! | |||||
