Cannibal Hookers (1987 Video)
80s Heart-eating faux-horreur
17 April 2004
Cannibal Hookers isn't the worst film you could imagine. Despite the fact that it starts out in the manner of an 80s poorly shot porn film, it does actually manage to be better than that.

There has been an attempt to produce a storyline, however that has clearly failed.

Whilst the acting is most unnatural, the camera work is dodgy and the script is pure rubbish, the saving grace of this film is the fact that it does break away from conventions of the cannibal sub-genre.

Firstly, these are causcasian, ugly, Californian women who are the cannibals, not Amazonians in grass skirts. Also the most absurd aspect of the plot bridges the gap between the cannibal and vampire genres, a feat, to my knowledge, attempted by no other filmmaker.

In summary, this film is not to be watched in any seriousness. It is, and hopefully was intended to be, a trashy, no budget video release designed for those who find cannibalism, 80s hairstyles and vaseline filtered glamour photography amusing.
