A lighthearted horror comedy about cannibalism that never really hits its stride. Characters limited by unnaturally stereotypical behaviour meet flesheaters while camping, but the behaviour is never clarified as either a separate breed of people, or transmitted like a virus. There seems no hint that people are disappearing or dying, yet their flesh is abundant.
Some witty references on a meta level - opens with a scene from a horror film, and has a 'raw meat' celebrity chef, but doesn't quite integrate these fully into the story. A Hindu vegetarian chef appears to eat meat and have an almost mystical grasp of what's going on, but again sits slightly outside the story arc.
The stereotypes are the biggest failing, though.,the macho, predatory real estate agent; disinterested police; the histrionic French food critic; the nymphomaniac friend; the bullying ex-husband. It would have been nice to have some character development, rather than these cartoon figures.
Enough fun to keep you engaged for the short runtime, but far from memorable.
