Unhurried in its pacing, exquisitely photographed and very sparing in its presentation of bloodshed and violence, "Cannibal" observes but does not comment.
Overview
Carlos is a respectable man, the most prestigious tailor in Granada, Spain. His life is reduced to work and his main hobby is eating; but not just anything.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
A meticulous lead performance by Antonio de la Torre is the one saving grace of this dumb, arty horror movie from Spain.
Cuenca's mixture of beauty and grotesquerie brings enough edginess to Carlos' murderous and loving ways.
Antonio de la Torre is brilliant as a killer and eater of young women in Manuel Martin Cuenca's sumptuously lensed psychological drama.
