“Cannibal! The Musical”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Alferd Packer was a prospector\/mountain guide for a group of miners.\u00a0\u00a0 Being the sole survivor of the expedition, Alferd was tried and convicted of murdering and cannibalizing his companions.\u00a0\u00a0 This is his story.<\/p>\n

Based on the true story<\/a> of Colorado’s only convicted cannibal, this\u00a0 low-budget, indie flick is a unique interpretation of events\u00a0 by Trey Parker, which was picked up and released a few years later by Troma.<\/p>\n

The acting is expectedly cheesy.\u00a0 The characters are likeable and often silly. Alferd, our soft-spoken cannibal; Frenchy, his trapper nemesis; Polly Pry, the\u00a0 reporter with a soft spot;\u00a0 and Shannon, James, George, Swan, and Frank, the main course… er… miners.<\/p>\n

The writing\u00a0 is exactly what we’ve come to expect from Trey Parker, even though this was his first full length film and 3 years before South Park.\u00a0 The make-up and effects tread a line (in some instances dancing back and forth) between well done and tongue in cheek.\u00a0\u00a0 The musical numbers\u00a0 (Cowbell solo!) & score are well done, especially if you’re a fan of dark, silly, satirical comedy.<\/p>\n

This flick got 4 fru fru drinks for creative hilarity and sass.
