Wonderfully epigraphed with two quotes, one from Nietzsche about
'becoming the monster', and then simply, 'Eat me', this demands to be
seen for connoisseurs of the strange. It veers between bizarre and
hokey, as cannibal Carlyle tricks a frontier encampment into
following him out into the wilderness. He kills and eats half of them,
and forces the other half (including Pearce) to convert to his kind of
diet. Nominally (like Romero's Dawn of the Dead) a satire on
consumerism, it's more obviously just a great, pointless gross-out,
with a really odd score by Michael Nyman and Damon Albarn.
