It’s a hard movie story wise. It is essentially too real. It’s the naked lunch at the end of your fork. Most movie goers want an escape from reality. This movie made us question what we would do if possessed by Wendigo and craved human flesh like it was heroine. Hence Robert Carlyle from Trainspotting was a great fit. Then Guy Pearce being a vegetarian gave the protagonist character the right amount of disgust at his craving for flesh. Basically top performances from the entire cast. Which usually means the Director really knew her stuff. By the way I saw it as a young man when it came out. I’ll never forget this movie.

A lot of great movies fly under the radar at times. If the subject matter doesn't seem like it would appeal to the masses, it's kinda ignored or doesn't get a lot of publicity to get more people to notice. So people don't even hear about it til much later on.

I loved the concept of healing through cannibalism. That was the main attraction for this movie and the time period. The cast was phenomenal as well. It's a hidden gem I was even skeptical about this movie until I watched it. I love it even more now.

I remember seeing the commercials for this film on tv, but I was still 16 at the time of its release. It came and went and I forgot about it. Then, fast forward to 2010 and a friend of mine showed me his dvd collection and he had it. I immediately remembered wanting to see it and borrowed it right away. It was exactly what I was expecting it to be and what I wanted it to be. Now, the blu ray sits on my shelf like a trophy.

"He was licking me!" I'll never forget that line from the trailer. I wanted to see it, but somehow missed it in theaters. I ended up renting it and liked it enough that I got it on VHS. I actually never found it on DVD, but I did get it on Blu-ray last year! I do believe I like it even more than I did over 20 years ago.

One of my favourite movies, and absolutely and underrated gem. I don't think it is much of a horror movie though, and trying to sell it as such might be a mistake. I always considered it more of a very dark and understated comedy with an odd and disturbing atmosphere. The performance are amazing though, and the music is one of a kind.

I remembering watching this as a teen, as a vhs rental. I remember not liking it at all. I was all about the “pop horror” of the time, like scream, I know what you did, and urban legends. All great horror movies in their own right, but this flick has by far aged the best. I watched it again last year and was blown away. If it came out today, it would have done so much better. An absolute hidden gem❤

I love this movie. I was primed for the release by coverage in Fangoria, and ended up going to see it twice in the cinema. It's been in by DVD library since the original Fox DVD release (right next to "Raw Meat" (US title) aka "Death Line" (UK title), the 1972 film with Donald Pleasence, featuring a cannibal in the London Underground... basically, a cannibal, humanoid, Underground dweller).

I love the flick, but I can see how the dreary tone might turn some off. It's light on levity, which is fine to me, but most people like a laugh break after a tense scene. The funniest line in the movie was, "He was licking me!" Again, I dig the movie, but part of that is because it's different. Different attracts some, but turns off many.
