Satan's Cannibal Holocaust (2007) User Reviews

Nobody would have banned this one.

This would not make the "Banned in Britain" list because no one would likely sit through it all.

I did so you wouldn't have to.

The fact that it is free on Netflix is not an inducement to watch. I just found it by accident and, boy was I sorry.

The acting is absolutely atrocious, the FX is non existent, and the gore is nothing I want to see again. If covering yourself in blood and eating flesh is your bag, then have at it.

The only thing worth watch in this whole film was Ashleigh Schremmer. Yes, I know you thought I was going to say Savage Noble, who showed her big tits, but I fooled you.

Schremmer was just perfect as some Hitler She-Wolf type character that she was funny. Kind reminded me of a certain vice-presidential candidate. So I give it a star for Ashleigh.

This ain't no Deodato...

No Budget movie that exploits the "Cannibal Holocaust" title, adding a "Satan". Satan s Cannibal Holocaust is a good title, at least in a cheesy way, if you buy a movie called "Satans Cannibal Holocaust" you know you are getting gore, blood and cheesy. Unfortunately, while the movie have gore, blood and is cheesy, it takes itself too serious and its boring. This movie is not a gore fest, it have blood but not over the top. Its like a thriller with no budget and no good acting. With a title like Satans Cannibal Holocaust i expected a better movie, "better" in the "over the top blood and chicks" arena. Unfortunately, this ain't Deodato. If you want cool Subrosa movies, get SADOMASTER, SCRAPBOOK or CHEERLEADER AUTOPSY.

A fairly fun time

Satan's Cannibal Holocaust is a cheap gore movie that was shot on location in St. Louis. This is a very indie production made with what looks to be a shoestring budget and more passion then skill. The combination is almost a winning one though as the movie is often hilarious with its poor writing, hammy deliveries, and cheap practical effects. The shot on location aspect provides it setting with a nice touch of urban decay as the cannibalistic killings continue. The core plot of a bizarre, ancient, cult living on the edges of society (in this case the tunnels under St. Louis) feels like the start of a modern Lovecraft tale. The cannibalistic nature of the cult only furthers the feeling of the other that this cult has, making them feel like the type of backwards and crazed groups that typically populated his works. Sadly, the beliefs of the cult are much more generic and have nothing to do with "Things Man Was Not Meant to Know" but it makes for a fun atmosphere. While most of the characters are fairly replaceable, one cult member, a happy go lucky woman in a school girl outfit, steals every scene she is in. She plays almost like if Harley Quinn was some sort of sado-sexual serial killer and the actress is easily the best in the movie.

All this being said, when cheap gore isn't on display or the murderess school girl is else where the movie often falters. It has some choice bits of dialog here and there but it mostly turns into a slowly paced mystery movie. Still, if you are into trash cinema you could do much worse.
