The Cannibal Club (2018)


REVIEWER RATING: 
8/10

DIRECTOR:


Brazilian couple Otavio and Gilda are extremely rich and successful. They carouse with only other elite superiors within the community, always attending high society functions for the absurdly wealthy.  However, this exclusive group adheres to many secrets, the main one being active members of The Cannibal Club, guided by the powerful congressman, Borges.

Delighted by the idea of murdering and grilling their own food, Otavio and Gilda frequently turn their sights and appetite towards the onsite property help. With her stunning and seductive looks, alongside an animalistic sexual hunger, Gilda is able to set up her prey for the deviant Otavio to slaughter. Celebration is always met at home over a wonderfully medium rare meat dinner.

The Cannibal Club is secretly thriving until one misfortune occurs at Borges’ gathering that sends Gilda into a tumultuous situation…and puts Otavio in immediate danger.

Horror-filled reactions always connect to a cannibalistic film plot but this is a definitive modern-day impression of a most primitive culture. Even the prosperous should be careful upon the steps they follow to become part of an exceptional association.

Secrets abound and come to fruition within this slow burning storyline. The guessing game of trust, hypocrisy and entitlement are mere playthings to toy with as the audience is thrown into the world of Otavio and Gilda’s depraved fetishes.

As the couple continued to fill the open slots within their employment since devouring each security guard, groundskeeper, etc., Jonas joins the household during a conclusive moment that changes the couple’s lives. And taste.

The Cannibal Club builds the intensity that is undeniably extensive on social acceptability. What is and what is not tolerated barely brims the surface for air as Gilda continues gallivanting around without care. Or premonition.

Check out this stylistic view on one of the most disturbing stigmas ever to emerge. With a slight twist of fate, what goes around comes around in the end.

OVERALL: 
Similarly fashioned to The Invitation or even Would You Rather, The Cannibal Club is another subliminal message that the privileged always controls the game. Watch your step and definitely watch The Cannibal Club.
