Scott Weinberg DVDTalk.com It's a kung fu party, a loopy comedy, a gore flick, and a slap-your-forehead acid trip at the same time. Rated: 3/5 Nov 29, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Reading the back of the box you get a sense that you're getting into something unique and different. Yes, there are cannibals, people getting eaten, and kung fu. But while the movie started off with a sort of Cannibal Holocaust kind of vibe, it quickly devolved into a generic kung fu movie. Nothing wrong with that, but it didn't really stand out and outside of a few fights (the tree hanging one for example) none of it was very memorable. The cannibalism plays a big part of the movie, but they're not tribal people and they're not quite as maniacal as you would hope. The main villain is mad, but most of the townsfolk are portrayed more as desperate and hungry. It was a decent watch, but not as special as I was hoping. It does have one of the best lines ever though: "I'll feed you my farts." Classic. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Tsui Hark and first time writer Szeto Cheuk-hon have all the wry stuff here and pull off the daunting task of synchronizing cannibalism, comedy, and kung fu in near-perfect harmony. Only when a reoccurring gag, featuring a randy Amazon woman (quite obviously an actor in drag), does the writing falter. And yet given that the epicenter of "We're Going to Eat You" is a remote village of cannibals -- fed by a group of Leatherface indebted butchers -- it's strangely fitting. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Crazy Kung-Fu/Gore/Cannibal/Comedy Hybrid!! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member One of my favorite kung fu/martial arts movies ever. Amazing fight scenes mixed in with an excellent horror movie theme - mixed yet again with a special agent type character and comedy - you cant ask for much more in a movie than what you get here. Indescribibly entertaining - an absolutely perfect movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Crazy action-comedy-horror from Hong Kong about a village full of cannibals who trap and butcher travellers to satisfy their cravings for human flesh. A bizarre mix of cannibalism, kung-fu and slapstick humour with each of these elements having varied success. There's a bit of gore but not enough for my liking. The fight scenes are decent enough but lack the fast-paced excitement of a Jet Li or Jackie Chan flick. It's funny at times but no real laugh out loud moments. A good fun and unique film overall, check it out.
