Cool, thanks for the link! I bookmarked that page and i'm going to see what I can find on Netflix. I've only seen a few of these:

Cannibal Holocaust
Dead & Buried
Evil Dead
Faces Of Death
I Spit On Your Grave
The Funhouse
The Last House On The Left

Animals are kept in poor conditions and slaughtered for food all the time and though I cannot condone the killing of a turtle, a pig and muskrat for the purposes of a film I think its a small drop compared to supermarkets filled with veal, foi gras and battery chickens.

Cannibal Holocaust is an amazing film and though the killing of a few beasts is regrettable. As least the turtle and pig were eaten by cast and crew which I can't see as any worse than buying a battery chicken from Walmart. But peace out to the (fake)muskrat, spider and snake who might have died in vein.

My personal recommendations would be:

Axe, Don't Look in the Basement, Flesh for Frankenstein, The House by the Cemetery, Inferno, Possession, Tenebre, Blood Feast, The Beyond, and Bay of Blood.

Those are all great movies. I recommend The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue (Let Sleeping Corpses Lie), Don't go into the Woods Alone (for hilarity mostly), Maniac, Fulci's zombie movies (City of the Living Dead, House by the Cemetery, The Beyond, and Zombi 2) as well as some of his other films like The New York Ripper and Touch of Death.

Wow, I never heard of anyone liking Axe...

I wonder how Forest of Fear ended up on the list.

It was considered a public menace because it bored nearly everyone who watched it to DEATH.

I've never understood why this became one of the nasties. It's well made, produced and acted - everything the nasties aren't. I can understand it having some censoring to the first murder, but nothing more.

Couple of nasty kill scenes did it I'm guessing.... like the one with the syringe.
