Elfie Hopkins: Cannibal Hunter

I liked it!

     

The right amount of creepiness(the new neighbors turn out to be cannibals) without having to be "horrific" to get under the viewer's skin.As someone who does not and will not watch movies that are extremely gory and bloody, I would take exception with the reviewers comments about "gratuitous gore". Did it make me uncomfortable at times..... yes, but not to the point that I had to fast forward through it or decide not to finish watching (just turned my head away for a few scenes). The film has what I might term "Tim Burton" overtones,,,, I could see Johnny Depp playing the role of the father/new neighbor.Overall I thought the characters played their roles well and Aneurin Barnard, who plays Dylan Parker is an actor to watch. This is the third film of his I have now seen, along with his starring role in the "White Queen" miniseries as Richard III. He has quite a varied body of work thus far and his role here, is completely different once again.I think he has a big future in front of him.
