“Surely cinema's first Mexican social-realist cannibal horror drama, it's grimly funny and at times horribly effective stuff. Ickily excellent. ”~Adam Smith, Empire

Aroview: Mexican horror about a family of cannibals who attempt to retain their rituals of kidnapping and eating other humans after their family patriarch dies in a shopping mall. A perfect blend of dark humour, socio-political awareness and gore.
