Plot Summary
Carlos is the most prestigious tailor in Granada, Spain. His life is a study in details, from the meticulous suits he creates for wealthy clients to the macabre murders he executes in the shadows. He performs these gruesome acts, including dining on the women he kills, without guilt or remorse. When Nina, a beautiful young immigrant from Romania, comes looking for her missing twin sister, she awakens in Carlos a kind of love he’d long since written off. As their relationship builds, based on secrets and deception, Nina’s pure innocence will become undeniable, even by Carlos, a man driven by a dark secret. Cannibal is, in the end, a demon’s love story.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Antonio de la Torre is brilliant as a killer and eater of young women in Manuel Martin Cuenca's sumptuously lensed psychological drama.
Rotten: A meticulous lead performance by Antonio de la Torre is the one saving grace of this dumb, arty horror movie from Spain.
Fresh: Cuenca's mixture of beauty and grotesquerie brings enough edginess to Carlos' murderous and loving ways.
Rotten: It keeps us at a remove that becomes telling of the filmmaker's reticence to explore whatever feelings of isolation and yearning may inform his main character's grisly compulsion.

A Fantastic Character Study
I saw this in the theatre. This film is not really a horror film, but in a way more chilling, as it looks at how someone who seems to be an ordinary tailor has a horrible secret. The film really makes you think about the story and the character, as he meets someone who may change his life.
Cannibal suits my taste
I loved this movie. It's a suspense/genre movie that actually has a strong plot.
It's also beautifully shot.
Chilling!
This is an awesome, dark thriller and a uniquely told love story like none I've ever seen. Extremely well done, gorgeously shot, and kept me on my toes the whole time. Must watch!
