the cannibal one - not the Icelandic one

Incredibly fun horror/comedy, Tom Arnold and Mary Beth Hurt clearly have a blast from start to finish. Is it a bit predictable? Sure, but who cares? It holds no pretensions about what it is, making it hard not to like at least even a little bit.

Genuinely disturbing horror with the blackest of comedy. Art design reminiscent of Blue Velvet and some incongruous (and funny) music make this an unusual, creepy gem.

"A boy suspects his parents of cannibalism and other strange practices behind their cheerful facade. Things get darkly funny and horrifying and meat never looked more distasteful. An unfocused movie that is sometimes horror, and other times satire, a psyhological study, or black comedy."

An eight year old boy being raised in a 1950's suburban Utopia becomes convinced that his parents are cannibals. Their lives begin to unravel when a school social worker starts nosing around. Twisted black comedy with a surprising amount of genuine suspense mixed in amongst the carnival music and bright colors. Randy Quaid is unbelievably creepy as the sociopath father maintaining the illusion of a perfect family. Like Leave it to Beaver on acid.

Bad movie

Very odd horror film. Some folks think of it as a dark comedy, and it does have some humor, but the subject matter and some of the performances (Randy Quaid as the father especially) are a little on the creepy side. Doesn't totally work but it's worth watching.

Like David Lynch, only even darker and more disturbing. Wonderfully horrifying and insane

Excellent.
