Critics Reviews

Ben Sachs Chicago Reader 04/25/2013
This deliberately tasteless horror-comedy might appeal to gore hounds and fans of gross-out humor; but as with many films that strive for cult status, any potential exploitation-movie pleasures are overwhelmed by an air of smug self-awareness. Go to Full Review

2.5/5.0
Boris Rodriguez's movie sadly ends up being neither an effective horror movie nor a memorable satire. It just kind of, pardon me for going there, sleepwalks through its clever set-up. Go to Full Review
Boyd van Hoeij Variety 04/05/2013
Thankfully, Lindhardt keeps things together with an appealing performance that constantly oscillates between drama and very light, dry humor without sacrificing the slightly otherworldly nature of his character. Go to Full Review

4/5
Seamlessly blends together horror and comedy to make for an experience as original as its title. Go to Full Review
David Bax Battleship Pretension 03/17/2021
Eddie: The Sleepwalking Cannibal clearly had the inspiration but it lacks the stomach for the follow-through. Go to Full Review
Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com 08/09/2019
While the film never quite manages to go deeper than a superficial tongue-in-cheek trifling, there are enough oddly fascinating elements to sustain interest. Go to Full Review

dave s 02/07/2022 When a Danish artist arrives in a snow-covered Canadian town to accept a job at the local school, he finds himself saddled with an unexpected roommate, a lumbering mute who happens to be a sleepwalking cannibal. Despite the bizarre premise and the unpromising title, Eddie: The Sleepwalking Cannibal turns out to be better than expected, a bone-dry comedy covered in blood and viscera. That's not to say that it's great (or even worthy of a recommendation), but it does have some laughs and more than enough ugliness to satisfy the gore hounds. While you get the distinct vibe that it may have been better off as an offbeat Canadian sitcom, it's not a horrible way to waste eighty minutes of your time. See more 07/27/2021 An Entertaining Horror Comedy. Better than most movies Hollywood makes nowadays. See more 04/21/2017 That was actually a surprisingly fresh take on a tired, worn out genre. At least the premise is sound. The light, and dry, but black humor was what made it appealing. I'd say give it a go. See more 06/22/2015 Really enjoyed "Eddie The Sleepwalking Cannibal". It's well paced with a few gross bits to keep the gorehoundz happy. Overall a fun and entertaining movie. See more 10/13/2014 A strong premise with some great beats. It never enthralls or pushes the momentum to far, but was worth the watch. See more 10/04/2014 Quirky original ooey gooey goodness! See more Read all reviews
