- nkozyra 11y agoParent comment doesn't say that BW was the first, just that it inspired a bunch of movies. Which is far more true of it than Cannibal Holocaust.
- angdis 11y agoYou're right, of course, it DID predate BWP. But it did not inspire a genre. Perhaps because so few people saw Cannibal Holocaust when it first released? It was a film that gained an audience gradually, on video for many years after it came out.
