Info

Ghoul (gool) n. 1: a legendary evil being that robs graves and feeds on corpses 2: one suggestive of a ghoul-ghoul-ish Stash and Hub, two redneck ghouls, take a journey through an ancient graveyard to do what ghouls have done for centuries: grave defiling, necrophilia and cannibalism. On their midnight walk, they rant about their idiosyncrasies. But this morbid journey to feast on the dead does not unfold as it has the numerous nights before. Stash and Hub have raided the resting place of the deceased one too many times and the dead do not take lightly being fed on for centuries. Enter a world that has no prepositions of time or space in this character driven short film that stands outside of any genre. It verges on comedy with its cynical dark wit. It dabbles in horror with its exhumed graves, corpses and Lovecraftian monsters.

Cannibal Flesh Riot Audience Reviews

Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!
Motompa Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Greg Prior to my receipt of Cannibal Flesh Riot, I had never heard of Gris Grimly. I had not heard of him as a writer and never heard of the group Ghoultown to which Grimly directed their music video, "Mistress of the Dark".However, now after the screening of Grimly's Cannibal Flesh Riot, I can clearly see the talent and understand why his name is attached to Guillermo Del Toro's with the updated stop-motion version of Pinnochio.Cannibal Flesh Riot is a wonderfully crafted short film that includes above average acting for a 30-minute short horror film, and some competent effects and make-up to compliment its protagonists.The film focuses on two ghouls – Stash and Hub (David Backus and Dustin Loreque) – who search the local graveyard for the newly deposited Clarence Waldo Heckles. A Rod Sterling-ish introduction explains to audiences the differences between ghouls and vampires (ghouls feast on the already dead) which gives the audience the framework for their nightly romp and we watch these two brilliant actors emote in a black & white homage to the 50's horror/drive-in films of the same genre.The meat of the film is in the dialogue between the two leads as they discuss everything from breakfast to condiments (relish is "pickle vomit") and the script by Grimly does enough to keep us interested as the filming format changes between live action, stop-motion, miniatures and CGI.A whimsical ending that is an homage to parts Sam Raimi and Ray Harryhausen are flattered by top rate sound mixing and a rocking soundtrack that is included in the tiled 'The Jams' disc two.As small budget, horror shorts go, Cannibal Flesh Riot ranks as one of the best we have screened. It was funny, innovative and incredibly well acted. It's rare that we view a film of this ilk and are disappointed upon final screen credits, but we could easily have spent another 30 minutes with the Stash and Hub ghouls.We would be remiss if we didn't also comment on the packaging of the Cannibal Flesh Riot DVD. Our package arrived with the feature film, a companion disc of music from the film, a mocked Grimville Times newspaper section and enough stickers, ads and information for five releases. If this is how Grimsly and the distribution company want to get the word out – well, they have hit the ghoulish ball out of the park. Bravo! www.killerreviews.com
