Blu-ray Review – Cannibal Girls

Filmmakers have to start somewhere, and for Ivan Reitman, horror was a chance to get his name out there, hoping to launch his career with a surefire hit. His second directorial effort, 1973's "Cannibal Girls" finds Reitman hoping to make something spooky and a little gross, joined by screenwriter Daniel Goldberg for a semi-improvised examination of slow-burn evil and human consumption starring two future comedy hall-of-famers, Eugene Levy and Andrea Martin. "Cannibal Girls" is a strange little movie, and Reitman has an overall idea to reach a certain level of creepiness with the picture. Sadly, he can't snap the endeavor out of its slumber, as nothing really happens in the feature, leaving the cast with dead-end scenes and very mild gore to manage as the offering struggles to locate any signs of suspense.
