''Cannibal Holocaust'' is considered one of the most controversial films in history due to the unprecedented levels of graphic violence depicted, leading to the arrest of director Ruggero Deodato on suspicion that actual murders were committed and filmed.

The film was swiftly banned or heavily censored in several countries. Despite the controversies, Cannibal Holocaust has since gained a cult following and is noted for its novel filming style and storytelling structure, which was designed to give it an air of gritty realism.
