Made when Trey Parker and Matt Stone hadn't even graduated yet. A time before anyone had ever heard of South Park, hard to imagine. Yet, there are already quite a few SP influences, and that's actually what I liked most about the film.

For example, I think it's a treat if you can recognize certain voices, like Eric Cartman's. Alfred Packer is set in Colorado, several jokes are clearly South Park-esque, and various aliens are hidden throughout the film, just like in the animated series.

Unfortunately, I found this film a bit less funny. The dialogue was often a bit corny, and it wasn't all that crude or politically incorrect. Also, I'm not a big fan of the singing, although I was impressed by Trey's talents, who even dubbed a few others. The makeup was also enjoyable, especially considering the low budget. A barely passable grade.

I never knew Trey Parker and Matt Stone—known for South Park—started out under the auspices of Troma. Essentially, they were already laying the foundation for what they would later do with their most successful franchise for 20 seasons: hard-hitting humor about cheerful, optimistic people who are actually selfish psychopaths. The familiar musical influences are also abundantly present, and it works particularly well because the absurdist nonsense is cast in polished music. The whole thing has an added entertainment value because you can even hear the voices and sounds from the animated series interspersed every now and then. It doesn't get truly funny, because they're not yet out to truly offend with their politically inspired satire. It's therefore a bit tame, especially in a film where cannibalism plays a prominent role. A must-see for anyone who loves South Park and wants to see where the iconic series has its roots.

A creative and energetic musical film that blends diverse genres. Director Trey Parker, even in his younger years, demonstrates his talent, with a highly diverse and ambitious approach to all sorts of approaches. This sometimes makes the film a bit overstuffed, and the humor doesn't always quite work, but it's fast-paced, and the passion for the craft shines through. Perhaps due to a lack of funding, Cannibal! doesn't always look visually stable, but otherwise, it doesn't overextend and remains consistently entertaining.
