The Resume

    (May 7, 1939-December 29, 2022)
    Potenza, Italy
    Directed 'Jungle Holocaust' (1977), 'Cannibal Holocaust' (1979), 'The House on the Edge of the Park' ( 1980), 'Straight To Hell' (1985), and 'The Barbarians' (1987)

Why he might be annoying:

    He's divorced.
    He's known as 'Monsieur Cannibal.'
    His movies are extremely graphic and violent in nature.
    His film 'Cannibal Holocaust' featured two brutal gang rape scenes.
    In the same movie, a snake is chopped in half, a muskrat is stabbed, a monkey's head is cut off, a pig is shot with a shotgun and a turtle is dissected while still alive. The movie also featured many brutal deaths to the characters in it.
    After the movie was filmed, he was brought up on charges and was forced to prove that the actors and actresses were not killed by having them appear in court with him. However, since the movie was filmed in Colombia, South America and featured many Colombian natives, he wasn't able to present them before the judge. The charges were eventually dropped, but since then, many people have speculated that he paid a local militia to round up and gather some natives for him to use in his movies and their deaths were possibly real.
    He was planning to do a scene where a pig would be fed to piranha's in a local river but he didn't have an underwater camera.
    He is planning a sequel to the movie.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He started working on movies at nineteen.
    His film 'The House on the Edge of the Park' took just 19 days to film and was a follow-up to Wes Craven's masterpiece, 'Last House on the Left.'
    He made movies that were extremely low budget.
    'Cannibal Holocaust' was budgeted at 100 thousands dollars and grossed a little bit over 100 million worldwide. It's also in the top 15 grossing movies of all time in Japan.
