The other reviews are right. It was bad.

This *could* have been good. The premise was interesting and different but the execution was unsuitable. The atmosphere and tone were completely wrong for this kind of film. It was way too campy and over the top. It should have taken a darker, gritty, serious theme. Think SAW or the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake from 2003.

And what was with that acting? I don't know why they chose our American Southern stereotype for one of the main characters. It's set in England. It was so out of place.

He wasn't convincing at all. The bad wig. The caricature accent. It came across like something you'd see on YouTube for comedic purposes.

That was one of the top sins that ruined this movie. The cannibal should have been slick. Mysterious. Conniving. Like a used car salesman but for the depressed.

Instead he was a cowboy. The lead character wasn't great either. The performance was overdone and felt exaggerated.

It was a mess all around. Don't bother.

Well, lets be honest. When I first saw the rating 4.5 I was not encouraged to watch this film. But then I noticed the comedy genre and I thought what kind of comedy could it be! So I just decided to give it a watch.

I am impressed with the acting, it is exaggerated but it is also hilarious! The events are interesting and keeps you excited for what may happen next. It is not your typical Hollywood horror movie. If that is what you want you then don't waste your time with this one. If you are ready for something different, cheesy and new then you will be satisfied. I gave it 5 because I could have been better, but it is just ok for me.

I mean this in the least condescending way possible... I think that this was a really solid attempt at what they were going for. It was fun, different and entertaining. Granted, not without its flaws, but still should be appreciated for its positives.

I think that this was lacking slightly as far as the story went. We got some seemingly deep but ultimately superficial background on each of the characters and it was presented in such a way that it was nothing of real intrigue or relatability. The chain of events from scene to scene felt oddly disjointed and while the obvious and intended absurdist vibe was present I'm not sure it had enough to balance it out. I think a lot of that unfortunately had to do with the character of Lionel.

While you could definitely tell that the guy was a good actor, it was a little too silly in juxtaposition to the rest of the film to be looked at as a cohesive part of the production as a whole. He gave me much more theater vibes in general and the cartoon Texas accent was distracting (maybe not to someone from the UK, but to an American). The other lead actor did quite a good job with a surprisingly down to earth performance. I would be interested in seeing both of them in something else.

The movie looked quite nice with some actually beautiful shots, had some surprisingly good effects and a fun, absurd tone throughout. This is going to be a polarizing one for some people but I enjoyed it for the most part. 4.5 rounding up to a 5. Would recommend.

Okay, now that that's done, on to this film. It is about a taboo subject. Indeed I'm even surprised how movies with graphic content like this even gets a release. It is no wonder that horrific crimes like the ones portrayed in all the movies I have mentioned above have become commonplace. Has society as a whole become de-humanized? It remains to be seen how the world can regain its humanity and strive for the end of crime and lasting world peace.

The movie is about a man who lost his wife through her bulimia. He became so frustrated with his wife's condition that he broke off all contact with her at a point. Later cops visited him and told him that his wife's body had been found and that she was dead. Grief-stricken he meets a weird guy at a drinking place who tells him that he will help him deal with his wife's sorrow by helping him depart from the world. The gives the man his card and tells him to call him again. Still suffering from guilt over his wife's death, the man finally decides to end his life by calling the man, meeting him again, signing a contract and handing him his mobile phone. What happens later is for you to see and find out.

This is also psychological drama on many levels. There are many viewpoints to consider. The direction is masterful and always in control. The acting and sound-effects are professional. However the movie has a fatal flaw in that like the movies I have mentioned above, this one is not worth a second viewing.

The only reason this is getting even a 3 is because some of the gore scenes are pretty brutal to watch and I also always give credit for the effort it takes to make any movie. If your into gore just fast forward to those parts and try to skip any of the acting from the cannibal as it is some of the worst acting you will ever see. The "acting" is so absurdly over the top and just wierd from the lead that it feels like he is in a bad community theater play while everyone else in the movie ignores it like nothing is wierd about him. You can't even tell if it's supposed to be cheesy or not because nobody else is in the realm of a cheesy cheeky horror movie, only him. But whoever was in charge of special effects wasn't half bad. The arm scene was up there with terrorizer. Oh I almost forgot how crazy bad his wig is It's next level distracting the whole movie.
