DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Ruggero Deodato Italy

Provocative documentarian merging found footage realism with extreme horror to interrogate civilization's veneer.

 Pier Paolo Pasolini Italy

His film 'Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom' uses cannibalism and consumption as metaphors for fascist power and the destruction of human dignity.

 Rodney Rothman USA

His 'Hostel' films and 'The Green Inferno' explicitly explore cannibalism and ritualistic violence in visceral, transgressive ways.
