#CannibalGirls 1974

Marketed as a comedy from directory Ivan Reitman, this movie is actually more serious than expected. It's the usual stranded motorists plot with Eugene Levy and Andrea Martin (Phyllis from Black Christmas), and they get tangled up with the titular Cannibal Girls.

These cannibal girls are good looking. They can eat me any day. They belong to a cult that's ran by some Dracula type of fellow who reminds me of Montag the Magnificent from Wizard of Gore.

For an early horror outing, Ivan did pretty good with this one. I wouldn't even call this a comedy, but it does have a few somewhat funny moments. The score adds a layer of creepiness, reminding me of Pet Sematary, and the ending was probably pretty poignant for its time. Definitely not was I was expecting, but in a good way.
