CINEMATIC CANNIBALS

The films, listed below, are either about cannibalism or contain significant
cannibalistic episodes. Most are low budget, non-mainstream films—but some
were very popular with “normal” audiences. They range from cartoons to slasher
films, from 8mm experimental films to big Hollywood productions, and from
documentaries to parodies. The list does not include video games or episodes of
TV shows that refer to, or focus on, cannibalism—it is long enough as it is!
Alternate titles are listed in parentheses. The country listed is not necessarily
where the film was made (sometimes it is where the film was released).
