If ever there was a movie that would seem like an unlikely choice for a video game adaptation, it’s Cannibal Holocaust. Since its release in 1980, the film has been considered one of the most controversial horror movies of all-time. As such, today’s announcement of a Cannibal Holocaust game came as a bit of a shock to a lot of horror fans. Some are excited about the prospect, while several others wish that a different horror franchise would get the video game treatment. The new game will actually serve as a fourth chapter in director Ruggero Deodato’s saga, and it should give some major new exposure to the concepts of the original film.

2020 is off to a weird start.

The Cooking Mama controversy was the wildest gaming news to happen this year. Nothing could possibly top that.

Oh wait they just announced a video game based on the 1980s exploitation horror film Cannibal Holocaust. Okay.

Goldblum’s expression sums it up nicely.

The real question is, what horror movie gets adapted next???

Why are people making a Cannibal Holocaust video game? I want to know WHY?!

I would definitely take a game based on Halloween.

There’s a ton of horror movies that would work as video games and we get Cannibal Holocaust.

Now, there’s an idea!

A Cannibal Holocaust video game existing should only open the door for more horror movie video games. What I’m saying here is give me a puppet master video game.

Add House of the Dead and MadWorld to that list!

The fact Cannibal Holocaust is getting a video game adaptation is a great reminder that a massive amount of video games wouldn’t exist without exploitation/grindhouse cinema. pic.twitter.com/wmYW7iKroW
