Controversial take: The real animal violence shown in Italian cannibal movies from the '70s and '80s always seems to be the subject of outrage and hand-wringing these days, with a lot of people - even genre fans - refusing to watch the movies if those scenes are in them. But, personally, I have always liked these scenes and appreciated their inclusion, and I think it makes the films feel even rougher and more uncomfortable (which is kind of the point). The moral discomfort of exploitation cinema is a huge reason I have always found it so appealing.

I saw a real clip of someone dying in the news the other day. Real footage. Fucking snuff videos basically.
