In addition to the internationally renowned celebrity Pedro Almodóvar, there are also a number of directors dedicated to the field of thrillers and horror films active in the Spanish film industry, such as Jaume Banagheru, Guillermo Morales , Juan Antonio Bayana, etc. Their hard work has made Spanish horror movies in the new century have a very good reputation. Therefore, when I saw this "Cannibal Love" and its little-known director, I didn't check the plot or reviews about it, so I downloaded the resource without hesitation.

However, sometimes empiricism does hurt, at least not in this film as the surprises brought by previous Spanish horror films. Moreover, I accidentally found out that this film was the 100th film I watched this year. This "memorial" is really not very good. Frankly speaking, from the perspective of narrative structure and rhythm, "Cannibal Love" is actually not bad. The explanation and advancement of the story are still decent, and there are no obvious loopholes. At the same time, the acting skills of the actors are also very good. Whether it is a two-faced male protagonist or a female protagonist who plays two roles, he has a good grasp of emotions, especially the male protagonist, who is calm and natural. .

But the problem with the film is that it suffers a fatal wound that no film can do: the content is empty, the story is boring. During the viewing process, I always expected that there would be a reversal or a climax after the slowness of the whole story, but it did not appear. It can be vaguely seen that the breeding of love is the reason why "Cannibal Tailor" gave up his usual perverted behavior, and it can even be found that the director has some kind of hope in religion (including the imitation of "The Virgin of Love" on the poster). However, a fundamental flaw in the script itself makes the film's presentation ambiguous, uninteresting, and moot. Perhaps "boring" is the best word to describe this movie.
