AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Lawbolisted Powerful

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Leofwine_draca A bizarre comedy from SOUTH PARK creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone which, strangely enough, manages to be frequently amusing. I say "strangely enough" as I'm not a fan at all of SOUTH PARK and its crude humour; yet CANNIBAL! THE MUSICAL is offbeat enough and frenetic enough to be consistently funny. Weird, yes, but funny because of it. The fact that this film is an amateur no-budget production is disguised via some authentic locales and costumes, and there's no denying that one-man force Trey Parker (who directed, wrote and starred in the film) is certainly very talented.What I liked best about this film are the musical numbers, each of them amusing and topped by the hilarious "Let's Build a Snowman"! However, there is plenty more to enjoy. Although the low budget nature of the film precludes the use of many special effects, there are still some brief schlocky gore moments to enjoy, with arms being ripped off and machetes going into faces. CANNIBAL! THE MUSICAL is a touch wittier and better-made than most Troma fare, and succeeds because of this in becoming a genuinely amusing and bizarre cannibal/musical hybrid. It's definitely unique, too.

shanvin2 ...Out of the awesomeness that is Cannibal the musical. Has to be seen to be understood and if you don't get it then please don't poison our gene pool by breeding. Ahhh ten lines, but what else can I say other than there are points in the film I was in tears, I was laughing so hard, the first time I watched it. Far better than a lot of films with ten times the budget, proving money a good movie does not make. If they put on the stage version in your town I recommend checking it out as it transfers very well to the stage. If you are a fan of Matt Stone and Trey Parker then this should be the next movie you watch. I hope this last line will put me at 10 lines.

pete-61 I saw this movie for the first time on a drunken binge through my brothers DVD's one day ( He has some of the worst movies ever made ). I found it fun to breeze through his crap and see what kind of a mess there is. My god I found this.I looked at it and immediately compelled. A musical... about cannibalism.The songs are priceless, the acting is bad, the production is poor, but these are the things that make this movie priceless. And I do mean priceless. The Liquored up track is awesome. The main cast drinking through the whole film. Once again priceless. Best commentary ever.This is a must see.

gavin6942 Alferd Packer leads a group of miners to Colorado from Utah, in search of gold. But they don't find gold: they find a cyclops, snowstorms, Indians, trappers and complete starvation. With a little singing and dancing, we are treated to an alternate version of this historical event. Although Parker and Stone have made many great movies ("South Park", "Orgazmo" and "Baseketball") this has always remained my favorite. The jokes might not be as clever or edgy, but there's a special charm in this movie that blends humor, horror (the opening scene is amazing for an independent film) and music. You'll find yourself singing these songs again and again.The jokes are varied and will appeal to different people. The songs are funny and most will like that, others will appreciate the Indians being played by Japanese students (the "we have tepees" line is gold)... and maybe you'll be one of those who like the subtle jokes, like the alien head snowman or the car keys jingling. (If you're a "South Park" fan, you're probably going to like the cheap, dirty jokes best, like the fudge line.)I have to give Trey Parker a lot of credit here. For a first-time writer, he really pulls this together. The script is solid, the songs are some of the best he's done (although not the most elaborate or involved) and his acting is formidable. Thank science that Troma had the common sense to pick this film up when others wouldn't (a mistake I'd like to think those other studios are regretting now).If you haven't seen this, you're really missing something. I rank it right up there with "Kung Pow" as far as comedies that are sadly overlooked. This might not be the film for everyone, but I have yet to find someone who didn't enjoy it, so I think it's safe to say you will, too.
