Blood Feast
In this exceedingly gruesome film that is widely considered the “first slasher movie,” a crazed Egyptian caterer named Fuad Ramses prepares a feast made of human flesh that is intended to resurrect the Egyptian goddess Ishtar. He gathers the items for his human stew one at a time—by chopping off a woman’s limbs while she bathes; by yanking a woman’s tongue right out of her mouth; and by ripping out a woman’s brains through her skull on a beach late at night. Although the special effects are h...
Spider Baby
A superbly odd black comedy horror, Spider Babystars Lon Chaney, Jr. as the caretaker of three siblings in a rotting mansion who all share the same genetic disease that makes them regress into animal primitivism once they reach puberty. The title refers to one of the three children, a girl in her late teens who eats bugs and moves with the grace of a spider. When a lawyer comes to investigate conditions at the mansion, he is murdered and dumped in the basement, where he is eaten by the deadly...
Pigsty
Released in Italy as Porcile, this film unravels two related stories, only one of which involves cannibalism. In that segment, a man who wanders amid the volcanic wastelands around Mt. Etna joins a band of murderous cannibals. At the end as he faces execution, he proclaims: “I killed my father, I ate human flesh and I quiver with joy.” Time Outsays “The story is about the human capacity of destruction and a rebellion against the social prerequisites implied against it.”

Hannibal is an incarcerated serial killer who assists FBI trainee Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster) with the investigation into a serial killer and a senator’s missing daughter. The story gets quite a bit darker in the prequel Hannibal Rising (2007...
Ravenous
In a script that was said to be inspired by the real-life 19th-century misadventures of the Donner Party in California and Alferd Packer in Colorado—both of which involved American explorers getting trapped in freezing conditions that force them to turn to cannibalism—Ravenous is a Western horror film set in California in the 1840s. It sees rescue workers whose mission is interrupted by a psychotic cannibal. Roger Ebertwrites: “Of course a vampire is simply a cannibal with good table manners,...
The Green Inferno
Eli Roth’s The Green Inferno recreates the transgressive cannibal movies of decades prior through the lens of Roth’s own dark sense of humor. The movie is about a group of college-aged activists whose plane crashes while on their way out of the Amazon rainforest after a protest. The survivors of the crash are abducted by a tribe that practices cannibalism, leading to scenes that are both ridiculous and gross at the same time.
