Here it is for you kids… the full movie. If you don’t know anything about Cannibal Holocaust … first check your Horror Movie Fan card at the desk, then check out Amazon’s site to learn about the movie.   It is definitely NSFW.  It’s violent, non-PETA friendly, and it’s F-ing awesome.  This is one of those movies that people will film their reactions after seeing the movie.  So if you’re a puss, step aside and go check out Disneys web site.

Here’s a couple quotes from Romero:

- “It’s about tribalism …. There are two factions. It’s the idea that even when faced with a crisis, tribal concerns about power control people’s motives.”

- “Diary was like Night. It had a brooding personality,” “This one is more like 1978′s Dawn of the Dead, with a lot of action.”

- “It’s this whole idea of tribalism, that we can’t pull it together, … News reports about the presidential race still bring up religious topics or racism. That’s pretty much the central theme.”

SO, he’s making a zombie movie about racism?? I doubt that he really meant that. (God I hope not).

Although, I think Romero now believes that he’s “supposed” to use zombies to comment on the state of our society in general. I’d like to tell him to stick with the “Romero Zombie” and gore and skip the social commentary. I actually wonder if he really thought about the “shopping mall as a symbol of materialism in our society” as a “statement” when he made Dawn of the Dead? Anyway, get on with the Zombie stuff.

I am not writing a review, but rather recommending you watch this piece of garbage … if for no other reason than to give you a feel for what crappy filmaking is really like. I didn’t even know it was based on a video game that I like to play (very loosely “based”). The story line is ridiculous and full of holes. Here’s what sucks about it:

1. Rave on an island. Supposed to be a huge rave. Maybe 20 people were there.

2. Rented a boat to get to island where they’d join friends. Paid $1000 cash for round trip, instead of returning with their friends.

3. Lots of 360 degree panning (ala Matix) around EACH of the characters while they shot at zombies.

4. Zombies that would almost just hang out waiting for their turn to get shot.

On the plus side … boobies and the brother of Ron Howard (in sailor gear).

Get this piece of cinematic history today.

Put it on your Google Calendar or whatever you use to remind yourself of important stuff like this.

Looks like a Black Sheep type story with a subtle (or not so subtle) warning on the risks of genetic engineering.  Movie is "Squeal" and it certainly looks interesting.  Website here
