Product Description: Alferd Packer was the only man in the United States ever convicted of cannibalism--what better hero for fellow Coloradan and future South Park creator Trey Parker to celebrate in music? Blue-eyed and boyish Parker was still in college when he wrote, directed, composed the songs for, and took the starring role as the innocent young Packer in this film, giving a gee- whiz performance as an ambitious pioneer who joins an ill-fated trek west that ends up stranded in the mountains. At times resembling a perverse community theater parody of Rodgers and Hammerstein ("My heart's as full as a baked po-ta-to!"), Parker bounces back and forth between cheery production numbers and goony songs ("Let's build a snowman," sings one starving-mad hiker) and grotesque gore (bloody body parts, festering sores, human hors d'oeuvres). It lacks in style and consistency and the juvenile gags and fart jokes wear thin over the course of a feature film, but Parker's sheer energy and inventiveness carry the overlong picture to a rousing conclusion. Regular Parker collaborators Matt Stone and Dian Bachar costar in this tuneful barbecue. --Sean Axmaker


Customer Reviews


5 stars Hilarious
This movie was hilarious. I highly recommend for Trey Parker and Matt Stone fans. The highlights for me were the musical numbers, but overall really awesome considering it was made for $70,000.


4 stars Chunks of Alive, Wizard of Oz, and Blazing Saddles marinated by South Park and deep-fried by Troma
Trey Parker teams up with Lloyd Kaufman to tell the true story of Alfred Packer, the only person ever convicted of cannibalism in America. Making a musical about people eating human flesh? BRILLIANT! This is an amusing little jaunt into nerdy absurdity.
Some gold-diggers(men actually mining for gold)set off on a dangerous expedition from Utah to Colorado in search of riches. They meet some friendly Japanese Indians? and battle against some troublemaking trappers along with the harsh elements.
There's gore and gay songs and humor along the way. The sick side of Troma actually seems toned down quite a bit though, this is no BloodSucking Freaks.
Overall, this is some nice entertainment although I expected more grotesque killings and raunchiness. Still a worthy production from those crazy Troma folks.


5 stars Amazing movie
This movie is completely mindblowing. I don't even really know how else to explain it. I mean, to be completely honest, if you look at it on terms of a Hollywood movie, it's not a good movie, but if you love indie film making it's definately in the top. I personally think this movie if fabulous, my favorite movie EVER. BUY THIS MOVIE NOW.


5 stars A must for any fan of South Park!
Long had I heard of the fabled "Cannibal! The Musical", the original college work from the creators of South Park, Matt Stone and Trey Parker. On a whim, I decided one day to go ahead and purchase it. I am pleased to say that I was not dissappointed. The film shows the excellent effort of a few budding young filmakers as they spend their spring break creating a movie that follows a hypothetical plotline based around the very real Alfred Packer, the only person in American ever convicted of Cannabalism. The movie itself is entertaining, and contains some creative songs. The real gem of this video, however, comes in the director's commentary. The creators and a few of the other costarring actors decided to watch the movie, drink heavily, and just say whatever came to mind. The results are a hilarious track that I agree should be nominated for "Best Director's Track Ever!"!! If you're not a fan their other works, then most likely you will not enjoy this even rougher version of Matt and Trey's humor. However, if you love South Park, Basketball, and even Orgasmo, then you'll truly appreciate this side splitting work that allows you to see the traits of the characters that many in the world have come to know and love.


5 stars Superb!
If you have "mainstream" tastes just do us all a favor and skip this one. If you love offbeat, low budget films you should definately check it out. Four of us watched it and laughed almost non-stop (without the aid of any laugh-inducing chemicals!). The songs are very catchy and will stick in your bean for days, particularly the opening number and the Trapper Song. It is a little slow in spots, but well worth the effort.

The Trapper Song is so freaking funny that we watched it at least 6 times.

Fans of The Forbidden Zone should enjoy this quite a bit.
