Cannibal (2010)
9/10
A beautiful, thoughtful horror/thriller/romance?
13 August 2012
This film is really not for the seeker of gore or flat out scare. The film cover is a bad one for what is inside.

Max, the main character, is a guy who doesn't like people much. He has a checkered past, and has run away from it all to the forest. One day, when trying to find his lost golf ball, he comes across a bloody naked woman and takes her home. And there his problems began.

She's important to a bunch of Bad Guys for various reasons, mostly because she performs something very special for them, and they want her back. Max does not know about any of this, and falls for her, despite trying very hard not to. She obviously cares for him, too.

Long story short, the bad guys find and take her back; Max decides to go find her, and ends up in the maelstrom. I don't want to give much away so I'm being rather evasive here, but the end is really good if you like thoughtful films. I don't like romantic films AT ALL but this one gave me a good shaking. I guess I can only get involved in romance when it involves someone getting bitten really hard.
