CGiii Comment
Eeew...what a thoroughly unpleasant film.
A vegetarian becomes a cannibal...well, there's nothing quite like going from one extreme to the other!
It's all just a bit difficult to swallow...what with all the body parts flying around, the throwing up and the equally carnivorous sister egging her on!
Things may have been a trifle more palatable if these sisters were - in any shape or form - likable...oooh, of that they most definitely are not.
It's a beautifully shot film...with some striking imagery. But...the message it leaves...well, let us not to spoil things...but, gay boys should stay well clear of cannibalistic sisters and ski poles!
