Cannibal Comedian

I was fortunate enough to see this film at a film festival before it was released, and WOW!! I was so impressed by the quality of this film! The storyline, writing, acting, and cinematography are all excellent. It's rare to find an independent film of this caliber; not to mention, a Comedy/Horror that perfectly meets the expectations of both genres. The quality of the film, in every aspect, makes it feel like something you'd expect from a high-level studio like Blumhouse, IFC Midnight, or A24. I was blown away! I have no doubt that this film will be a cult classic. If you love films in the horror genre-independent or large studio-you'll dig this movie! Can't wait to see what Director Sean Haitz and this team produce next!

In the late great words of a warrior chef, "it's fanger lickin' good!". I am not one for all things horror but I really enjoyed this flick. I laughed at scenes I didn't think I would, and got out of my seat wanting more. Hope there is a sequel or part 2 on the way. I guess we will have to wait for that announcement....unless it's a secret surprise. My haitz off to the cast and crew for getting a great movie out there. Job "well done" as one might say.

Once you start watching you won't want to stop...its kinda like throwing an amazing BBQ feast (vegan, vegetarian, or otherwise) where you invite friends and family. It starts with just a few laughs and then gets messy, but ends with your wild card uncle making everyone laugh so hard they can't wait to come back again.

What I loved about this film is that it had such a throwback feel to 70s movies like Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The filming location really set the tone of the film. Super creepy!

Aaron who plays the cannibal comedian did such a great job with mixing the comedy and horror. One minute I'm laughing at his joke and another I'm terrified for the person he is about the kill.

The ending really came together and I didn't see it coming. The gore is a lot for me and had to turn away but the film was doing its job!

This is the first film I have seen of Sean Haitz and I will definitely watch his other films!

Stumbling upon the 2023 horror comedy "Cannibal Comedian" here in 2025, and with it being a movie that I had not already seen or actually heard about, of course I opted to watch it, as I am a fan of all things horror. And I will say that the synopsis for the movie definitely made it sound like an interesting movie.

Writers Sean Haitz and Stephen Ward put together a fair enough script and storyline, which made for a watchable movie. It was an entertaining enough movie, though it was not a particularly outstanding or memorable movie in my opinion. There just simply wasn't enough contents to the storyline to make it a noteworthy movie. The movie suffers from the pacing and the construction of the narrative. It was generally lacking forward thrust and the red thread was sort of difficult to find.

I was not familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, and that is actually a good thing, as it is something I enjoy when I sit down to watch a movie. And I will say that the acting performances in "Cannibal Comedian" were good.

The special effects in the movie were good, and they definitely helped spruce up the movie nicely. And there were enough blood and gore to keep an old gorehound such as myself happy.

Watchable, for sure, but this movie doesn't warrant more than a single viewing.

My rating of director Sean Haitz's 2023 horror comedy "Cannibal Comedian" lands on a four out of ten stars.

Cannibal Comedian is a wild, blood-soaked thrill ride that blends razor-sharp comedy with gut-wrenching horror in a way that few films dare to attempt and even fewer succeed at. This film is a must-watch for fans of both genres, delivering gruesome practical effects and side-splitting humor in equal measure.

At the heart of the story is Charlie, a weary cannibal who's grown tired of his life of flesh-eating and decides to chase his dream of becoming a stand-up comedian. The concept alone is brilliantly absurd, but Cannibal Comedian takes it to the next level with clever writing and an inspired performance that makes Charlie both terrifying and oddly relatable. His journey to comedic stardom is anything but smooth, especially with club owner Carrey constantly stealing jokes and standing in his way. Their rivalry is both hilarious and intense, leading to moments of darkly comedic tension that will keep you glued to the screen.

What really sets this film apart are the spectacular special effects. The gore is top-tier, offering the kind of practical effects horror fans crave-gruesome, detailed, and executed with love for the genre. But instead of being purely grotesque, the violence often comes with a punchline, creating a uniquely entertaining experience where you're laughing one second and gasping the next.

The director, Sean Haitz, masterfully balances horror and comedy, making Cannibal Comedian a standout film that delivers thrills, chills, and plenty of laughs.
