Not bad for low budget, cannibalistic, 80's film-making where the highlight is a short erotic scene and the biggest star is Ed Begley, Jr.
I like Paul Bartel and Robert Beltran, but this movie was pretty silly - I could never get into the zaziness of it all. People keep saying how risque and funny it is, but it went over my head. Maybe I'll give it another viewing someday.

The acting duo of Mary Woronov and Paul Bartel deliver a nonchalant comedic style of delivery, this odd matter-of-factly placidness in a sea of mayhem abounding...Read on-> Full Review
Eating Raoul is a lively black comedy about the aftershocks of the sexual revolution in America. Full Review
It's hard to resist this sardonically riotous black comedy, even if you know the ingredients in the gourmet meal are disgusting. Full Review
Overrated cult comedy isn't nearly as funny as it thinks it is.
Dark, wild and silly cult comedy.
