Lost in Translation: Cannibal Holocaust

An exploitation film's German Box Art.  I wonder if a certain reader from that area has seen it...
So yeah, that's a pretty direct cover.  I mean, you've got a dead body and what appears to be rape on the VHS Box.

I guess that stops the 'I didn't know that it would be so violent' excuse.  Deodato was never subtle, I suppose.

  1. Believe it or not: a certain reader knows and remembers a VHS cover that uses a similar image on the front.
