This week we return to our video nasties with one of the most controversial films of all time Cannibal Holocaust.

We discuss the film in-depth talking through the first found footage film and it's many horrifying and taboo elements. We dive into the many controversial issues such as its believed status as a snuff film, the many elements of animal cruelty and how this all led to the filmmakers in court for murder.

We also talk about how this film became not just a UK video nasty but a world wide banned film and in many ways how it pushed boundaries but was also ahead of it's time within horror and filmmaking at the time.

So join us back in the murky depths of video nasties, making our way through some of the darkest and dirtiest horrors of all time.
