This is one of the most unusual horror films I have ever seen. The film contained a lot of gore and lesbian S&M sex scenes Obviously a vast budget was spent on the set and costume. This over stylishly designed film did not deserve the dreadful script which was obviously a shameless pastiche on the Silence of the Lambs. In fact Richard Driscoll was trying to act like Anthony Hopkins which was just plain silly. However the scenes between Linea Quigley, the Russian lady mobster boss, and Lucien Morgan, the English Marlon Brando, playing the police inspector, were hauntingly enthralling. Lucien Morgan's performance was mesmerising. This film is destined to be a horror classic, but I don't know why.

Richard Driscoll writes, directs, produces and has the starring role in this homage to Hannibal Lector films. I use the word homage loosely, because it veers on being a reimagining, parody, imitation and curio. To take on such a variety of roles, there must be a certain amount of self-belief, especially as the film being interpreted is one widely recognised as a classic, with a world famous, award-winning actor playing the role Mr Driscoll has given himself.

Like Driscoll's other horror, 'Evil Calls/The Raven/The Legend of Harrow Woods (2008)', there are moments of a good production, but here they are less refined and fewer in number. The acting varies, but one thing is for certain, Driscoll's performance as Kavanagh is woeful. He is simply a non-actor trying to speak like Anthony Hopkins. Whatever scene he is in, it is sunk by his performance.

And yet his is not the worst performance here. Lucien Morgan's monocle-sporting Inspector Reed is impossible to describe. So far off the scale that it defies words.

The story is of a man's killing spree in revenge for his wife's death. The story is sprawling, but not uninteresting. And the look of 'Kannibal' is mostly very impressive – this isn't a slipshod effort in directorial terms by any means, and has clearly had a great deal of time and money placed upon it. The effects, of which there are many, are delightfully gruesome and the smattering of vivid sex-scenes add further sleazy spice. What emerges is a picture that is a bit of an enigma – a mixture of the obscure, dramatic, blatant, graphic, confident and bizarre.

Linnea Quigley is the best thing about this movie...As always she is sexy and stealing the scenes she's in, the plot of the movie was ok, but I honestly only enjoyed the movie when Linnea was on screen, also fans of Eileen Daly might enjoy this movie, since she appears naked a lot, along with many other cute girls.
