The Cannibal Man


The Cannibal Man Spanish La Semana del asesino, literally Week of the Killer is a 1972 horror film, directed by Eloy de la Iglesia and written by de la Iglesia and Antonio Fos. Despite the international title, the film contains no scenes of cannibalism.

After accidentally killing a taxicab driver, Marcos Vicente Parra, a young man who works as a butcher, wants to cover up his crime. Marcoss girlfriend, the only witness, wishes to go to the police, so he strangles her. Marcos finds himself killing others, including members of his family, as they become suspicious of his actions, butchering his victims remains at his workplace in order to dispose of the bodies.TV Guide opined that this bloody, politically inflected drama is not at all what the exploitative Englishlanguage title suggests. ... Though the US title suggests a zombie gutcruncher and the marketing campaign was designed to make Eloy de la Iglesias film look like a Last House on the Left 1972 knockoff, The Cannibal Man is both a study of an apparently ordinary person spiraling into madness and a slyly satirical evocation of life in Spain under the oppressive Franco regime. ........
