5.0 out of 5 stars
This movie is a true horror flick, March 25, 2007
This review is from: Cannibal (DVD)
It has taken me awhile to write this review because I was so shocked by this movie after I saw it. It has stuck with me for the past week and it is probably a movie that I will never forget. What makes it so scarey is that it is based on a true story and is very factual. Be warned: this is a very gory movie and some of the scenes are very graphic for the gore. This movie also doesn't have much for dialog, but it really doesn't need dialog for the story being told. If you want a truely scarey horror flick, then see this movie. I do highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Cannibal - the true story, March 12, 2007
This review is from: Cannibal (DVD)
Firsly, let me just say that I think it helps, when watching this film, if you are already familiar with the story behind the true events that happened in Germany.
There is very little dialogue in this film (which is one of the reasons why it helps if you already know what's going on, at least for the first half). When the 'Flesh' is introduced to the story, the pace begins to pick up and the film starts to take it's, sometimes hard to watch, shape. Let me just say that if you are homophobic you may struggle with some of the scenes in this film, but let me just say, get past that because it's worth it.
Although it starts off a little slow, when it does pick it, it takes off at lightspeed and the gore is intense, and one or two scenes will have you squirming in your seat! From what I have read on several news web sites, and can remember of this being in the news, it stays true to the main facts quite well and for that reason alone can be difficult to watch.
This film isn't really meant to be enjoyed, not in the typical meaning of the word, but I highly recommend this for anyone who is into the more extreme and exploitation genres, but for anyone else, be warned - this film truly isn't for everyone!

5.0 out of 5 stars
an absolute must-watch for gore-junkies., December 28, 2006
This review is from: Cannibal (DVD)
This film was atmospherically stunning! The special effects were near perfect, and I havn't been more disturbed by a film in years.
The actors were wonderful, the dubbing worked quite well, and in certain parts it even look like they've used slide film.
I am by far one of the biggest horror/ gore junkies I know, and I have to say this is the best film i've seen yet, from unearth films.
The director did an amazing job, and I can't understand why the last person would give such a bad review other than ignorance and perhaps feeling uncomfortable during the homosexual parts.
