Wardinski breaks down a hotly debated grindhouse 'gut muncher.' Exploring its roots in jungle adventure flicks steeped in racism and sexism, factually dubious nature documentaries, and Italy's 'mondo' shockumentaries of the Sixties; as interestingly, he explores the politics that inform the film and the cultures of the tribes depicted.

Nathan Wardinski offers an authoritative critical analysis exposing the deeper meaning and significance of the (in)famous horror movie Cannibal Holocaust. Moreover, his profound historical and comparative analysis reveals that this film is a microcosm with virtues as well as vices. The vices include the gross misrepresentation and exploitation of Amazonian people like the Yanomami. The virtues include the critique of corporate media, industrial capitalist society, civilization, politics, colonialism, racism, sexism, and violence through the film's repulsive excesses of aesthetic terrorism. Among ethical concerns, diverse provocative questions are raised like projections--- Are we what we watch?
