DNA of snuff movie?

I can't explain why, but I can't prevent myself to think of another Italian film, adventure movie, made thirteen years later, and taking place in the deep Amazonia jungle, involving explorers.... But it was a horror film: CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST. Nothing to do with this one, I mean at first sight, but I repeat, I can't explain to myself the mechanism that makes me put a link between those two amazing and daring pictures from Italy. In both cases, two "twisted" minds could imagine such stories using the documentary, shock documentaries element. Maybe that's precisely what specialist call Mondo films.... The problem is that this one is definitely not a horror film, only disturbing. Philippe Leroy's character reminded me Kirk Douglas's one in THE BIG CARNIVAL.
