not just any cannibals, these are mutant Victorian tunnelbuilder cannibals who got bricked up while building the Tube!
Ravenous is a terrific film ... genuinely stomach-turning and scary - as well as funny - and I don't like gore per se.
Great film - he lives in abondoned tunnels by Russell Square tube station! (I've got the soundtrack LP somewhere - US title is "Raw Meat")

"Mind the doors!"
One critic described Ravenous as 'the best Scottish cannibal western ever made' Can't argue with that.

I wished someone made a decent feature film about the Donner Party instead of this weird comedy/horror sequel to the story. There are a few low budget straight to video films, but it's an extraodenary story which apart from the PBS documentary I mentioned, has never been told properly on film. Ravenous didn't really work for me, being neither funny, nor especially scary or adding anything important to the real story.

Is that the one with Billy Warlock in? I remember quite enjoying that - good effects.

That's the one.

They don't eat them though, they absorb them in some wacky ritual orgy where all their flesh melts together.

They absorb the nutrients - isn't that eating? I will withdraw my suggestion should the thread think otherwise

Was cannibal holocaust really a snuff movie or not?
Reno
The In Kraut
Not when it comes to people, but several animals got tortured and killed for real on screen. There actually was a court case where the film makers had to show how the effect with the impaled tribal woman was achived, to prove it wasn't snuff.
If it was snuff, you wouldn't be able to buy it for home video in this country.

I see his name was George Donner and not an unsavoury expose of kebab houses.

The PBS documentary is here, with music by Angelo Badalamenti (he did the soundtrack by most David Lynch films). Excellent film and really haunting, the closest I've seen a documentary come to a horror film.

I've always been slightly curious to see it, now I'll definitely give it a miss!
Reno
The In Kraut
I always stayed away from it, but last year I finally watched the recent UK release, because I read that the animal stuff had been cut out. That wasn't true, only the worst scene had been cut. Many horror fans make great claims that it is some sort of classic, especially as it was the first found footage horror film, but it's all just hypcritical, racist nonsense. The supposed authenticity of the found footage section is seriously undermined by the poor dubbing of the actor, as Italian films at that time never were shot with synch sound.

Now technically that is not a cannibal film, I would say, given that
it isn't actually humans eating other humans, rather subterranean lizards. There's lots of human-on-human butchery but not consumption. Unless I forgot a bit.

...and it turns out the body absorbing rich are actually a different species from humans.

There's kind of 2nd hand cannibalism in The Last Supper.

I had no idea what sort of film this was going to be, until right at the end of the very long cold open
I assumed it was either going to be a romcom, or a thriller in the vein of Sleeping With The Enemy

The trailer doesn't give it away, so it's a bit of a spoiler but I suppose people who love cannibal films wouldn't click on this thread and not find out about it otherwise.I had no idea what sort of film this was going to be, until right at the end of the very long cold open
