I like Ivan Reitman movies like the first Meatballs(Bill Murray),Ghostbusters(Harold Ramis, Ernie Hudson). This one is not very well known but it is still worth a viewing with some friends on a snow day.Yes, there is a Warning Bell for the those with weak stomachs for certain scenes. Eugene Levy has a main role which he does a great job same with Andrea Martin. They play a young couple. Levy plays as a Big City-Hippy type. Martin plays the ditsy girlfriend role. The supporting cast are lesser known actors and actresses. There are some twists in the latter part of the movie. The bias that the Metre De has about smokers' blood being unacceptable for the circulation. The speculation the Sheriff and Doctor are in cahoots with the Metre De. the three girls who have a taste for fresh meat and their deformed homebody Bunker watch out for them.

I saw this movie on it's original release at the Ypsi-Ann drive-in theater, now long gone, replaced by a strip mall on Washtenaw Avenue in the vacuous semi-urban wasteland betwixt Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti Michigan. When I saw the title on the marquee cruising by in my rusted black '56 Buick Super I just knew we had to see it and WE HAD TO SEE IT STONED. I wasn't disappointed - except I thought there would be more gory sex... of course I don't remember much, and it's no wonder, given the steamy windows and righteous clouds of smoke and gropes and throbs of randy teens in crowded car. I do remember thinking it was made by hippie freaks, just like us. This was before VCRs and DVDs and once it was gone you figured it was gone forever - no way this could make it back to broadcast TV, even on the late-late show. And to think technology exists to drag this out of it's crypt to yank our psychic triggers...

I am BEGGING someone to release this hard to find little horror/cult gem on DVD. I would love to hear what Eugene Levy and Andrea Martin think now about having done this fun little schlocker. This film is very hard to find but it is definitely worth the search. It's a strange little film but if you can look past the bad acting, the holes in the storyline, and the inexplicable lack of gore that you would expect from any movie with the word Cannibal in the title it's actually a fun little flick. The 'gimmick' in this one is the "warning bell" which warns the viewer that a 'disturbing' scene is approaching (very William Castle like!). Still, there is just something intriguing about this cute little horror flick...check it out for yourself and you'll see what I mean!

This movie is pretty boring, but it DOES have a young Eugene Levy in a big messed-up afro, sideburns and sunglasses. That aside, it's either scary or funny and I woulden't recommended it. But it's watchable, most due to Eugene Levy (the genius from Waiting for Guffman and American Pie I & II).
