Xenophobic Snuff Filmer

**Alan Yates** is the main antagonist of the 1980 extremely controversial Italian exploitation film *Cannibal Holocaust*. He is a racist and sadistic snuff filmer who is known for recording his crew (and sometimes himself) raping and killing innocent people as well as committing numerous atrocities.

He was portrayed by Carl Gabriel Yorke.

## What Makes Him a Complete Nightmare?

* He is an incredibly racist and sadistic psychopath who loves to put gritty realism in his own documentaries even if it means hurting other people along the way.
* He forced the people of the Yacumo tribe, children included, to stay inside a hut and then he proceeded to burn it down with them inside.
* When watching watching the villagers die, he became ecstatic and immediately started having sex with Faye Daniels in front of the suffering Yacumo people.
* He ordered his minions to rape an innocent Yanomamo girl on the spot.
* When Mark Tomaso announces they're filming, Alan feigns shock and announced they discovered that the girl had been killed by the "barbaric" Yanomamo tribe and that he can't imagine what kind of person would perform such cruelty, stifling a laugh as he says this. This heavily implies that Alan himself impaled the girl off camera and framed the Yanomamo tribe for it to gain footage of the tribe's "savagery".
* In one of his films, Alan was shown to brag about the strong people dominating the world and overtaking the weak in society. After he said this, he had Jack Anders launch an attack on a Native village and he planned to have the massacre spread to another tribe, which would have caused even more deaths.
	+ Plus, Alan ordered Jack to attack a village and kill the inhabitants, so this would mean that Alan is indirectly committing populicide in a way.
* He shoots Jack Anders in the leg so he could film his corpse being mutilated and eaten.
* While it is implied that he is protective of Faye and loves her, this is completely false because he just wanted to have sex with her and later left her to die by being raped and killed by another vile person. As a result, Alan never loved Faye.
* While he is quite charismatic for the first half of the film and has a few cool moments, all of them are gone by the second half of the movie when he becomes incredibly evil and psychotic. In fact, when the first signs of his evil nature are shown onscreen, he begins to subvert his charm slowly and eventually, he becomes an utterly nasty man before the end of the movie, thus demonstrating his petty, sadistic, hypocritical and smug personality.

## Trivia

* Alan is so vile that even Carl Gabriel Yorke hated him. Carl stated that he was horrified to portray such a cruel and racist character, and he even refused to shoot a pig for a scene in the film. If that scene was included, it would have made Alan much worse.
