THE CANNIBAL CLUB
RELEASED OUT NOW! 2019 | 18 | DVD
This blackly comic Brazilian thriller takes aim at the 1%. Gilda and Otavio are part of a society of cannibals that prey on the poor, but when they accidentally uncover a secret, their peers turn against them. Ana Luiza Rios is strong as a woman of privilege starting to feel the confines of the patriarchal cult, but the film crams too much into a slender running time, and never commits to being either gory schlock or Parasite-style satire.
