Nope, that one's different. And I've seen that one.

It's also horrible and jacked up. But from what I've heard about the penis-eating movie, it runs circles around Cannibal Holocaust.
Damn, is that one just called "Cannibal" then?

I'll watch both.
Yeah, there's:

-Cannibal
-Cannibal Holocaust

separate flicks.

Be sure to read the wiki page for Cannibal Holocaust before jumping into it. It's one thing when a movie actually has some artistic merit or some kind of value and it shows a bunch of shocking, disturbing [expletive] and blurs lines the way Cannibal Holocaust did. It's something entirely different when it blurs those lines, but is also a steaming pile of feces without any artistic merit whatsoever. That's Cannibal Holocaust. There wasn't a single thing that was enjoyable about watching it.

Thanks for the heads up. Yeah I think I'll skip Cannibal Holocaust. I'm still going forward with "Cannibal" though. :)

I dunno if I'd give Cannibal a shot. Some years ago a friend sent me the video of Nick Berg being decapitated by terrorists and I nearly threw up. It took a while to get that out of my head (no pun intended, [expletive]) and even to this day I can make myself sick just by picturing it.

i never watched that video but i saw pictures.. and that was enough for me..
and even though the stuff in "cannibal" is obviously fake.. it sticks with you
because it really happened.. oh.. and they show EVERYTHING in the movie..
up close and personal.. technically the movie is amazing because you'd swear
everything happening was real..

To be honest, I think wanting to watch that sort of [expletive] makes me wonder WTF is wrong whomever it is that wants to watch it.

Years back I saw Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer and it was hardly graphic and I was disturbed because I knew that basically the [expletive] was real. I can see and deal with some pretty nasty [expletive] in real life at work but wanting to watch that [expletive] for entertainment just escapes me.

I saw the Nick Berg thing as well and it bothered me. I didn't think it would until I saw it. That was REAL and it was terrible.

Yeah the Cannibal movie was based on a true story but it's still NOT real. It's a movie so I don't see the big deal with me wanting to see it. I find it hard to see how someone could be ridiculed for wanted to watch a movie, but whatever I'm still going to watch it.

(CNN) -- Four boys ages 9 to 14 have been charged with sexually assaulting an 8-year old girl, police in Phoenix, Arizona, said Wednesday.

The girl was lured into a vacant storage shed by the suspects, who offered her chewing gum, police said at a news conference.

The girl was restrained while the boys -- ages 9, 10, 13 and 14 -- sexually assaulted her, police said of the July 16 incident.

All the suspects except for the 14-year-old live in the same apartment complex, according to Phoenix police Sgt. Andy Hill. The 14-year-old has been charged as an adult, Hill said.

Detectives said the girl was placed in the custody of Phoenix child protective services after the attack because of her parents' attitude toward her.

The girl and the boys charged are all from families that have come to the United States from the West African nation of Liberia, police said.

Wow, that poor girl's life will never be the same, and she probably doesn't even realize what's going on.
