Don't let my almost 5-star rating fool you. I never recommend this movie to anybody, unless I know for certain that their tastes lie in the extremely dark and morbid. Otherwise, its probably going to either bore them or make them uneasy (men uncomfortable with themselves often seem to revert to verbal homophobia to cope with their unease), or I run the risk of losing a friend or acquaintance. But if your cinematic tastes are firmly in the WTF-realm, this truly is a brilliant film to behold. It will replay in your mind and profoundly disturb you for quite some time afterwards. Visually, audially, emotionally, spiritually and digestively shattering. A monster of a ride, but not one you're likely to jump right back in line for.

Disgusting and uncomfortable to watch. I'll make it so fast and faster if I want to watch this again.

Allegedly true story of man meets man, man EATS man. Very little dialogue adds to the visceral horror that unfolds in front of your eyes. The first film in a long time I half-watched with my eyes covered. And that's hard to do.

Might gross out some. I thought overall it was okay, although the true story aspect certainly heightens the entire experience.

A squeamish homophobes worst nightmare. "Cannibal" pretty much does exactly what it says on the tin, but with added extreme genital mutilation for good measure. The atmosphere is unnerving, as is the dubbing (although dialogue is thankfully sparse) and the gore FX are fantastic, the fact the film is based on the true case of Armin Meiwes is just the icing on the disturbing cake.
