"You Are Who You Eat."
- Director: Antonia Bird
- Genre: Drama, Action & Adventure, Horror,
- Studio: ETIC Films
- Duration: 115 Mins
Overview:
What's this - a cheery cannibal comedy? Priest director Antonia Bird's stunning mix of gut-spilling gore and Carry On-style banter is a shocker that you'll either love for its edgy tone, or absolutely hate because it's so in-your-face. Inspired by the tragic Donner Pass disaster of 1846-7, the film stars Robert Carlyle as a devious maneater who decimates the inhabitants of a mountain outpost to keep human flesh on his winter menu. Containing as many surprises as Scream and all the hilarity of Austin Powers, Bird's highly disturbing and thought-provoking film features a couple of impeccable performances. Carlyle etches the strongest portrait of pure evil since Anthony Hopkins in The Silence of the Lambs, while Guy Pearce is equally brilliant as the army captain who tries to stop Carlyle's bloodthirsty exploits before he becomes addicted to the same diet. The insane climax is yet another off-kilter delight in this intensely hilarious chiller.
