Cannibal Holocaust is definately a movie that stays with you a while. Just the animal killing scenes are enough to give you nightmares. Some people write it off as a simple exploitation film, but I do believe it does make a point about who are the real savages. It is one of those movies that I never know how to describe to someone. I also am not sure who I would want to show it to. I love showing shocking movies to people, but this may be a bit much for most. I do have trouble with the rape scene with the young native girl. Someone close to me was raped. The depiction is very real for guys in this situation that think they have the right to do whatever they want to do to these "savages". I personally couldn't wait to see the offending "member" removed! Although I did feel the need for a shower after watching this, I still feel it did have something to say, and was not just exploitation like I Spit on your Grave or another movie that is pure exploitation trying to pretend it is empowering for women.
As far as the new DVD, I heard that it is supposed to be unedited, but I have no details on the release.
