About Searching for Cannibal Holocaust
Italian horror fan and academic Calum Waddell speaks with some of the original makers of the controversial horror classic "Cannibal Holocaust" before venturing into the Amazon jungle and surrounding city port, Leticia, to uncover some of the local stories behind the making of the motion picture. What is uncovered, however, leads to a wider and unexpected "true crime" story.
Directed by Calum Waddell, Searching for Cannibal Holocaust leans on a strong ensemble — Calum Waddell, Carl Gabriel Yorke, Danilo Abadia — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2021.
