Cannibal Girls - 1973
(This Film Rates a C )
The film opens in winter with a man being killed with a pickaxe, the blood squirting onto his girlfriend's face and mouth. Her shirt is ripped open to show some T's but is spared death. Fast forward, Clifford and Gloria have been driving for 14 hours and the car starts to have some trouble. The vehicle manages to get to the small town of Farnhamville. They learn about the legend of three cannibal girls who lured men to their deaths. From a pair of scissors, an axe and of course being eaten alive with a side of gravy. The house is now owned by the Reverend Alex Saint John. He is all too funny and creepy. There are still cannibals in the house, plus Bunker the mute animal like servant. Clifford and Gloria try to escape but fumble their attempt and wind up spending the night. Gloria has a very vivid and graphic nightmare. The dream sequences are long and sometimes catch you off guard as to what is real as does the crazy and twisted ending which now features a legend involving four cannibals. The gore is minimal and not overly exciting. The acting and soundtrack are decent for the most part. The story is a bit slow without a punch of action. The winter scenery is beautiful and well photographed from the forest to the small townscape. There are some T's and Eugene Levy's epic mustache!
