The cover above is what my copy looks like. I got it at a comic convention in the early nineties. Not as great as I thought it would be. I like gore more when there's silly shit going on in the movie, too, like in Troma movies, Hostel, or Saving Private Ryan. Cannibal Holocaust strives for reality, so it's kind of a bummer. I could barely sit through the beginning when I first watched it. The beginning is pretty much just a bunch of footage of tribal rituals, like the filmmakers thought that would make a suitable first act.
The plot is about these documentarians that get chewed up by cannibals and supposedly the footage you're watching was found by archeologists. Sound like Blair Witch? Yep, this was around way before Blair Shit, and Blair Shit ripped it off.
Here's the trailer -
