What a way to start our month on cannibalism and horror! Getting up the nerve to watch this movie was like getting ready to bite into something so hot you know it will make you uncomfortable. That was this movie. It was gruesome and brutal, I know people may have seen worse (ie. Cannibal Holocaust) but for me, this was testing my boundaries. But looking past the scenes of gore and my discomfort with it, there was a really strong social commentary about the dark side of activism, corporations and attempting to enforce Western ideals on other countries and cultures. Especially the ending, where you really question who is really civilized?
