You should check out Jörg Buttgereit's films if you're into that sort of stuff.
Start of with either NEKRomantik, Der Todesking or Schramm.
You won't be disappointed.

Indeed. I haven't seen
Schramm, but the other two are fantastic/extreme and well worth seeing.
I have seen Cannibal Holocaust three times, which I think is probably enough to be set for life at this point. Once I saw it in a theater, and went mainly because I couldn't believe it was being shown. The animal stuff is the hardest stuff to watch (because it's real), but I will say that none of the sick behavior potrayed in the film qualifies as "gratuitous," as I believe it is all necessary to make the point of the film at the end.
Definitely and important and influential movie, but like all of those early 70s extreme Italian brutality films, not remotely for the squeamish.
