The gory and brutal scenes in the Cannibal Holocaust film were so realistic that he even got arrested on suspicion of murdering and slaughtering real animals. His film sparked outrage across France and other countries which led to the ban of films in 50 countries. 
 
The film that earned Deodato's nickname 'Monsieur Cannibal'&nbsp;in France&nbsp;remained banned for decades in many countries including the UK.&nbsp;The film, which had a budget of $100,000, was shot in the Amazon Rainforest and starred Robert Kerman, Francesca Ciardi, and Carl Gabriel Yorke.

Born on May 7, 1939, Deodato started working as an assistant director on Roberto Rossellini's films in the late 1950s. He was Robert's son's childhood friend. 
 
In his decades-long career, he&nbsp;has made many other horror films like 'Body Count', 'Phantom of Death' among others.&nbsp;
