Funny you should bring this up. I saw a preview for Eli Roth's new movie last night ("Green Inferno" I think) and almost up until they showed the film title I thought he was remaking "Cannibal Holocaust".
While I'm familiar with a number of the older titles in the genre, my only real experience with them was what we could get our hands on in high school (mostly "Faces of Death" type stuff).
Ugh Faces of Death.. the hardest part to watch were the people sitting around a table eating the monkey brains,, i think i remember they knocked him dead by hitting him on the head with a little mallet.
Yeah, that sticks out in my memory, too. I remember everything seemed so shocking at the time (it never occurred to me until years later that much, if not most, of the footage was staged), although it's all much tamer than what's readily available on the internet nowadays.
"Monde Cane" is what I might start with
How did it fix you? Was it that shocking?
I was too young when it was in the movies but when it made it's TV premier I begged my mom to let me watch it because I had heard about it. The theme song to the movie "More" actually won the Academy Award for best Movie Score. It was basically a global cultural anthropoliogical study. Shows people doing things like cutting themselves with glass to feel the pain Christ suffered, and other things. I was way too young to see it and I've never watched it again or anything similar.
I remember a scene in Mondo Cane (or Mondo Cane 2) where the natives bent two trees toward each other in a cross pattern and tied a man on it, a leg on each tree.
Then they let the trees go, wheeee.
