This is why i read postmodernbarney. This is by far one of my favorite modern horror movies, with excellent performances and a great score by Albarn en Nyman. In one of the cheesiest subgenres of horrormovies (Cannibal movies, a genre i'm very uncomfortable with) this stands head and shoulders above the rest. It's the perfect blending of art and genre, without being too pulpy or too pretentious. For another cannibal movie wich blends an artful style with pure horror look up Raw Meat (also known as Death Line). Excellent movie, which blends comedy, suspense, gore and a little bit of cheese and has Donald Pleasance in one of his coolest roles. I'm sorry for my rather poor english, which is not my native language. yay! This is why i read postmodernbarney.

The cast is perfect, and the tone balances cynicism and an almost-Lovecraftian terror of the unknown. Plus, the soundtrack by Damon Albarn and Michael Nyman is one of the most interesting, most original, and most effective horror scores I've ever heard. This is, in all sincerity, my favorite movie.
