Cannibal Holocaust
There is a case of cruelty to animals in the South Korean film "The Isle" (2000), according to its director Kim Ki-Duk. In the film, a real frog is skinned alive while fish are mutilated. Seven animals were killed for the camera in the controversial Italian film "Cannibal Holocaust" (1980). The images in the film include the slow and graphic beheading and ripping apart of a turtle, a monkey being beheaded and its brains being consumed by natives and a spider being chopped apart. "Cannibal Holocaust" was only one film in a collective of similarly themed movies (cannibal films) that featured unstaged animal cruelty. Their influences were rooted in the films of Mondo filmmakers, which sometimes contained similar content. In several countries, such as the United Kingdom, "Cannibal Holocaust" was only allowed for release with most of the animal cruelty edited out.
