I can’t remember now which picture this is from, but it’s from 60’s Coffin Joe. I remember Zé do Caixão telling an interviewer that his casting process involved letting spiders loose on the actress to see if she could stand them.

This is Cannibal Holocaust (1980) an Italian exploitation cult movie. The portrayal of Yanomami and other tribes is fairly unrealistic, but that’s to be expected from that kind of flick.
