Italian filmmaker Ruggero Deodato, whose hyper-realistic found-footage horror pic Cannibal Holocaust got him arrested and was banned in more than 50 countries, passed away aged 83 on Thursday.
According to Deadline, a US-based news outlet, no detailed information about his death was given. Over the course of a 60-year career, Deodato produced scores of movies and TV shows in a variety of genres, but none was more infamous, divisive, or under scrutiny than the 1980s Cannibal Holocaust. Many viewers mistakenly thought that the local actors were actually killed off-screen due to the film`s severe and realistic-looking gore. Italian police confiscated the movie, and Deodato was eventually taken into custody and put on trial for killing and animal abuse.
