A Screambox exclusive:

Charlie's (Aaron Prager) a cannibal - including everything that comew with the job description, especially when it comes to capturing, torturing and murdering his victims. He pretty much gets away with it scot free as well as he's living in the middle of the desert where people are just expected to get lost, plus the local sheriff (David Vega) is in on his favourite pastime and covers up his tracks. But Charlie's not just an emotion-free killing machine, he actually sees something in his latest victim, Crystal (Austin Judd), and istead of just killing and eating her, he tries to train her to become a cannibal, just like him - with at best moderate success. That said though, however much Crystal may detest Charlie, she encourages him to follow his life-long dream, to become a stand-up comedian. And against all odds, Charlie's cannibal-themed act becomes a hit with the audience at the local comedy club - and those that don't like his show Charlie usually kills and eats. Thing is, the comedy club owner Carrey (Robert Dunne) can't help but noticing that Charlie's act is worth its weight in gold - gold he doesn't want to lose should Charlie ever quit playing his club, so he bars Charlie from the club and copies his shtick himself, intending to go big - something that doesn't sit well with Charlie when he finds out ...

Well, this is a movie that sure delivers on the promise of its title, it sure is pretty funny and pretty sick. But what really maked Cannibal Comedian is that it's more than just keeping the promise of its title, it's not just amusingly sick but also features some nice character work and the story actually has some heart to it - packed into a not exactly wholesome plot though. And add to that some relatable performances that go beyond horror clichés and a directorial effort as savvy in shockers as in comedy and you've got yourself a pretty entertaining piece of movie - that might not be for everybody due to its subject matter, but those inclined are almost sure to love it.
