OK, it does have the same basic premise as Cannibal Holocaust, but is, I believe, a far better film. I'm not against people not liking BWP, but have to say that when people bring up the CH argument it seems to, if anything, make BWP seem even better. Besides, whatever you may think of how effective it is, BWP is all about suggestion. In this sense it has more in common with old gothic literature, a la M.R. James, than the more in-your-face style of CH. My liking of BWP has almost nothing to do with its pseudo doc trappings, and a lot to do with its ability to suggest rather than show. As such I'd say it has far more in common with films such as Cat People and I Walked with A Zombie.
