Umberto Lenzi's Mondo Cannibale (1972) was the movie that laid the foundation for the infamous cannibal genre which reached its climax in the late 1970s and early 1980s and is still controversial among movie fans. The film was released uncut in the UK on VHS by Derann, but was put on the Video Nasties list and remained there until 1985. The movie had to be cut by 3,75 minutes for the DVD release in 2003 because of the animal snuff scenes. It is unclear why one of these scenes (a goat's throat is cut with a log of blood to be seen) was not affected by this. The 2007 reissue is cut identically.
