Ruggero Deodato, director of the notorious 1980 horror film Cannibal Holocaust, has died aged 83.

Deodato had a lengthy film-making career and operated in a variety of genres but remains best known for his gruesome horror film, which was banned in multiple countries and even resulted in him being put on trial for murdering actors.

The film was a pioneer of the “found footage” pseudo-documentary genre.
