<B>CANNIBAL: THE MUSICAL</B>
<P>
Our review for <I>Cannibal: The Musical</I> needs a bit of prefacing. One of our contributors, while working for another (unnamed) content provider, rented and reviewed <I>Cannibal</I>. At the time, it was just another title in the Troma library. About three months after this review was penned, the star/director/producer/writer of <I>Cannibal</I> - one <B>Trey Parker</B> - hit the big-time with his animated show <I>South Park</I>. Since then, Trey (along with co-creator <B>Matt Stone</B>) has become one hot ticket. in other words, this glowing review was written before <I>South Park</I> mania swept the country (and before <I>Cannibal</I>'s theatrical release which starts this month in selected cities). Sure we're tooting our own horn, but what we're really illustrating here is <B>TapeHead</B>'s willingness to wade through tons of crap that nobody wants to watch in order to find you a nugget of goodness. And now, without further ado . . . Our review of <I>Cannibal: The Musical</I> . . .

Troma Films are the maverick geniuses responsible for such classics as <I>The Toxic Avenger</I>, <I>Surf Nazis Must Die!</I> and <I>Tromeo and Juliet</I>. They have a long-standing (and much deserved) reputation for providing films of absolutely no social or intellectual worth. So when I saw the Troma stamp of approval on <I>Cannibal: The Musical</I> I immediately took it home. I envisioned scantily-clad jungle cannibal girls dancing around a greased corpse on a spit - some gratuitous sex and violence. But that's not what I got. Because not only is <I>Cannibal: The Musical</I> one of the most un-Troma movies Troma has ever distributed, it's quite simply one of the best, most original, surprising, and absolutely hilarious movies I've seen in years.
