Overview

Cannibal is based on the true-crime story of Armin Meiwes, the "Rotenburg Cannibal" who posted an online ad searching for someone to volunteer to be mutilated and eaten. Unlikely as it may seem, someone actually replied. The film shows a fictional portrayal of the meeting between the cannibal and his victim/participant, their homosexual relationship, and the eventual mutilation and murder of said victim.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A methodical, unflinching depiction of a deeply transgressive true crime scenario that moves toward its terrible conclusion with horrible inevitability. This is not exploitation cinema but a portrait of profound psychological dysfunction and mutual self-destruction.
