Mato Mato Mato - Canibal Filmes e as Produções de 'Horor' no Oeste de SC

About This Movie

Mato Mato Mato takes you back to the early '90s, capturing the raw energy of a group of teenagers in Palmitos experimenting with horror filmmaking. They had this DIY spirit, armed with nothing but VHS cameras and a passion for the macabre. Petter Baiestorf's Canibal Filmes emerged from this creative chaos, carving out a niche that's both fascinating and gritty. The documentary dives into the atmosphere of isolation in rural Brazil during an era of stagnation, yet there's this vibrant pulse in their work. The practical effects are charmingly crude, embodying that era's charm. It’s like a time capsule of a burgeoning underground cinema that’s a bit rough around the edges but full of heart.
