i still haven not quite figure out what really to think of this film by no mean it a mind blow thriller or even a memorable eurohorror entry . the film move by slow and careful and the plot development be too tame to keep your solid attention . heck and even the sex sequence be shoot in a dreadfully tedious way . yet and do not underestimate this production too much and whatever you do do not be mislead by the title that have a traitorous splatter ring to it . even though ` cannibal man do contain a couple of nasty butchering sequence and it merely be drama and an alarm social portrait . marcos be a simple man and living on the edge of poverty . he work in a slaughterhouse and have a young girlfriend . after a night out and marcus get into a fight with an unfriendly cabdriver . he accidentally kill him leave the place of the crime . the girl want marcus to confess what he do to the police but marcus doesn not want this and see no other option than to kill her too and before she talk . later and he kill his brother for not be supportive about it and then his sister in law for become suspicious etc etc etc you get the picture represent marcus descent far and far into madness . i guess the controversial value be the most remarkable thing about ` cannibal man . director eloy de la iglesia ( not so ) subtly criticize society lack of communication and solidarity and the entire authority and justice system . bearing in mind the film be make during the reign of the spanish dictator franco and this be a risky operation to say the least .
