Aug 26, 2023 · Few concepts are more morbid than humans eating humans. These dark movies about cannibalism dive in and hold nothing back.
Oct 2, 2013 · The Cook, the Thief, his Wife and Her Lover (1989) & Fried Green Tomatoes (1991) — Sure, cannibalism just makes a brief cameo in the finales of each, but it does so in the tastiest way possible ...
Jun 12, 2016 · This is a list of movies that fit into the sub-genre of horror: the cannibal film. Even though some of these titles could hardly be called “horror,” certainly the very idea of cannibalism is a horrible one. Humans eating the flesh of fellow humans will always give people nightmares. Certain serial kellers like Jeffrey Dahmer prove that there is a (sometimes morbid) fascination with this ...

Putting “Soylent Green” on this list, is, by nature, a spoiler. But has anyonewho’s first watched this film in the years since 1973 gone into it without being aware of Charlton Heston screaming his head off that “Soylent Green is People?” Richard Fleischer’s ecological dystopian thriller is heavily rooted in the anxieties of the decade it was made ...
One of the most revolutionary horror films of all time, “The Texas Chain Saw Massacre” practically invented the slasher movie when it pit a group of five young friends against a murderous clan of cannibals in a rural corner of The Lone Star State. And years later, there aren’t any slashers as plainly horrifying as the chainsaw-wielding Leatherface,...
Before Wes Craven became one of the great mainstream horror directors, he was making rough-and-tumble small-budget horror like “The Hills Have Eyes,” one of the best horror films of the ’70s. Taking inspiration from “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre,” Craven’s cult classic follows an American family that cuts through the desert on a road trip, only for ...
One of the most notorious horror films ever made, “Cannibal Holocaust” attracted controversy the minute it came out because of its depiction of a documentary crew haunted by Amazon cannibals was so raw and so unflinching in its graphic horror that it proved easy to mistake for the real deal. Director Ruggero Deodato was arrested for obscenity after...
A lovably goofy black comedy horror, Bob Balaban’s “Parents” is easily the least squirm-inducing film on this list. But it still gets its mileage by indulging in the worst fear of any child, that the parents who raise and love them aren’t the good people they say they are. From the perspective of 10-year-old Michael (Bryan Madorsky), parents Nick (...
Peter Greenaway’s art film “The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover” has absolutely nothing to do with cannibalism for most of its runtime. But it’s perhaps no surprise that the gorgeously colored crime drama — which sets its tale of romantic entanglement in the austere restaurant of a British gangster — would conclude with an act of flesh-eat...
When you hear the word cannibal, your mind likely conjures the image of Anthony Hopkins in that iconic facemask in full restraints. And yet, Jonathan Demme’s beloved 1991 film “The Silence of the Lambs” is perhaps the adaptation of the Hannibal Lecter character that features the least amount of cannibal action. There’s none at all; Hopkins is on sc...
Claire Denis’ “Trouble Every Day” received mixed reviews when it first premiered at the 2001 Cannes Film Festival. But it’s received renewed appreciation in the years since, as a bold look at sensuality and desire that adeptly mixes carnal lust with shocking violence. The story of a woman Coré (Béatrice Dalle) imprisoned by her husband thanks to he...
Possibly Tim Burton’s last good film, 2007’s “Sweeney Todd” makes several alterations to the beloved Stephen Sondheim musical that caused Broadway lovers everywhere to grumble. But Sondheim himself approved of the film, and at its best, the movie manages to capture the operatic tragedy inherent in the story of The Demon Barber of Fleet Street and h...
“Raw” received free publicity during the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival when reports of audience members fainting at its graphic gore surfaced. And the actual film manages to live up to that festival hysteria to a certain extent. Julia Ducournau’s portrait of a vegetarian as a young cannibal lives up to its title with unvarnished graphic ...
Aug 29, 2022 · Lecter himself might not do much human-eating in this one, but his legendary last line about "having an old friend for dinner" certainly hints at it, not to mention another line about fava beans ...
