Cannibalism as contagion: ANTLERS (Scott Cooper, 2021)
If you read this blog, and I hope you do, you might remember a movie we reviewed recently called Wendigo. It was about the mythical creature from Algonquin legends, the spirit who takes over humans and turns them into voracious cannibals whose feeding frenzy makes them grow larger and, consequently, hungrier. The Wendigo is usually represented by the stag or at least the antlers of a stag; thus…

BIDEN AND THE CANNIBALS: the case of Uncle Ambrose
Raising eyebrows is a national sport of the USA during election years, and both Trump and Biden, the contenders, have done their share of the heavy lifting. But Biden really hit his eyebrow-raising stride this week (on April 18 2024) with claims that his uncle, second lieutenant Ambrose Finnegan (known in the family as Bosie), was shot down in the Pacific in 1944, and may have ended up on the…

The revenge of nature: WENDIGO (Larry Fessenden, 2001)
Wendigo is a film written, directed and edited by Larry Fessenden, who would, a few years later, make an episode of the TV horror series Fear Itself called SKIN AND BONES, which was about a guy who disappears on a hunting trip with friends and returns cold, thin and desperately hungry. He has, we quickly discover, become a Wendigo! In this, the earlier film, there are also crazy hunters led by…

Mike Tyson’s edible ears
Mike Tyson, sometimes called “The Baddest Man on the Planet”, is nonetheless regarded as one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time. He was the world heavyweight champion from 1987 to 1990. After a spell in prison from 1992-95 for raping a young woman, Tyson made a comeback, and briefly held the championship again in 1996. In 1997, Tyson fought Evander Holyfield at the Las Vegas MGM…

California Cannibalism: man arrested after reportedly eating a severed human leg

Construction workers in Wasco reported seeing the man near the Amtrak station. “I’m not sure from where, but he walked this way and he was waving a person’s leg. And he started…

Criminals, rapists and cannibals: Donald Trump and the immigrants
Way back in 2015, when first campaigning for the presidency, Donald Trump announced he would build a wall on the border with Mexico to keep out: “…people that have lots of problems. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.” That seems quite tame now, doesn’t it? Warning about rapists have lost their power, especially given Trump’s own…

IDAHO amends its anti-cannibalism bill – cannibalism news, March 2024

Scott said: “This is going to be normalized at some point, the way our…

Cannibalism and ‘Satanic Panic’ in Utah
Utah lawmakers are attempting to pass a bill to criminalise the ‘ritual abuse of a child,’ bringing back memories of the satanic panic of the 1980s, when other states passed similar laws. Critics of the bill, however, say it is unnecessary and potentially harmful. Republican state Rep. Ken Ivory is sponsoring the bill, House Bill 196. It defines ritual abuse as abuse that occurs as “part of an…

It’s just meat: SOCIETY OF THE SNOW (La sociedad de la nieve)  (J.A. Bayona, 2024)
Society of the Snow is a new account of the 1972 Andes plane crash. It is an adaptation of Pablo Vierci‘s book of the same name,which included detailed accounts of all sixteen survivors, many of whom Vierci had known from his earliest years. The twist here (not really a spoiler as they keep presaging it) is that the narrator of the film is one of those who were not among the sixteen. Uruguayan…

Meat is meat: THE MAD BUTCHER (Guido Zurli,1971)
Some months ago, I reviewed a film called Auntie Lee’s Meat Pies, in which I asked readers “What’s in your pie?” This film, The Mad Butcher (Lo strangolatore di Vienna), asks a far more profound question: “What’s in your sausage?” In each case, a better pronoun might have been “who”. Guido Zurli was an Italian director but this film was made in English, set in Vienna and starred the wonderful,…

Is cannibalism a term of racist abuse?
Candace Owens responded to a young woman challenging Owen's anti-trans rant by pointing out Native American Two Spirit people existed. Owens goes off on her, calling Native Americans cannibals and drug users. Shocking, racist and vile. pic.twitter.com/HXFRyCR5Eo— Victoria Brownworth (@VABVOX) October 28, 2023 Short answer: yes, and regularly used that way, throughout recorded history. If you…

Is Donald a Cannibal?
No, not that Donald, the one that dresses in a blue suit with no trousers. That still didn’t help? I mean the Duck of course, the Walt Disney creation, who has been around since 1931. In several films, including the 1948 cartoon Soup’s On (the above clip), Donald is seen enjoying the flesh of a bird, presumably a turkey or large chicken. In the Christmas or Thanksgiving movies such as Mickey’s…
