When the movie starts you are presented the following text:

"The film you are about to see was originally released in 1954. Upstaged by the overwhelming popularity of "Oklahoma!", it's short-lived theater run was cancelled, and "Alferd Packer: The Musical" soon fell into obscurity. The original negative, re-discovered just last year, has been painstakingly restored using state-of-the-art color enhancing and computer reconstruction technology. The film's violent scenes have been edited out for your viewing pleasure.". (No, it is not a typo. He really is named Alferd - not Alfred).

What the fuck! Look at the last sentence there. Violent scenes have been edited out for my viewing PLEASURE? To hell with that, I watch these kind of movies because I want to see the violent scenes. Luckily they're just bullshitting you with the introduction text. There's a lot of gore in this movie. And it is hilarious.

I think I should mention that the director of this movie is Trey Parker - one of the makers of South Park. So you can surely guess that there's plenty of humour in this sucker. It is also Trey Parker who plays the role as Alferd Packer (as Juán Schwartz in the credits). Apparently, Juan Schwartz is a variation of John Schwartze; an alias the real Alferd Packer used while he was in hiding. Yeah, Alferd Packer did really exist and he was a cannibal.

His partner in crime, Matt Stone, also plays a role in the movie - as James Humphrey.

The story: Lake City, Colorado. Anno 1883. Alferd Packer is the only survivor from a gang of pioneers that got lost in the mountains during winter time. Poor Alfred got accused of eating his fellows, and stands now in trial waiting to be hanged. He pleads his innocence but nobody seems to believe him - except, of course, a reporter named Polly Pry. He tells his story and we get to see the story in the form of flashbacks. And this is where all the fun starts.

Cannibal The Musical is gory in a humourly kind of fashion. It is not scary, it is not realistic, it is stupid. Stupid and funny, just like South Park. You can almost see this as a non-animated South Park movie. With singing and dancing. And fucktards getting killed in the mountains. And for the music... well, make a guess about the lyrics and if they're funny or not (hint: they are). The movie also has Japanese indians!

Keep an eye out for aliens throughout the film. Yes there are aliens hidden in different places. Try to find them. And don't forget to check out the website either: http://www.cannibalthemusical.net.

This is one of the best movies ever made. Ever. I promise you.
