    Gory funny fun!

    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!

    Nah, not that great...

    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.

    One of The Best Independent Comedy/Horror Films of the Year!!!

    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!

    It hit the funny bone!

    Cannibal Comedian is a bloody, laugh-out-loud horror flick that doesn't take itself too seriously. It's a perfect pick for fans of films like Tucker & Dale vs. Evil or Evil Dead 2, delivering gruesome kills alongside dark humor. If you're into campy, over-the-top horror with a comedic twist, it's worth checking out. Charlie played by Aaron Prager hits it out of the park! Great casting and a surprising twist! Totally worth checking out! The guy who plays Carrey was so good in this, he made me laugh a few times out loud! All around fun film with heart and even if you're not a big horror fan this movie is almost like an intro into horror. I also dig the stand up comedy in the film.
