Cannibal Girls 03/25/25

From the Canadian branch of exploitation filmmaking comes this quirky stab (and chop, and bite) appetizer, an early production by Ivan Reitman. Eugene Levy and Andrea Martin are the ‘cute’ couple that wander into the wrong snowbound hamlet, too innocent and trusting to recognize a horror setup when they see it. The future maker of Ghostbusters cooks up a modest little item that steers more toward droll comedy than gory shocks. It’s beautifully remastered; the extras include an even earlier Reitman short subject that won a theatrical release. On Blu-ray from Canadian International Pictures.
