    • Trivia
      "Inspired" by the real life story of the "Cannibal of Rotenburg", Armin Meiwes, who mutilated, killed, and finally ate a man who had previously agreed to Meiwes doing just that with him. Both men met on the Internet where media subsequently discovered vast communities of people fantasizing about eating and being eaten by others sharing their "quirk".

    Not for the feint of heart.
    Not going to lie but the part with the college student made me start falling asleep and looking at the timer. That alone didn't give the movie a good start. However, once I ignored those parts and try to understand the two man I felt sorry for them. Both had issues and mental scars that anyone can relate to. Given not as extreme as the two men but you can still understand a bit. I can understand, why the cops thought of this as a bizarre case. On one hand you have the law telling us what's right and wrong. Then you got consent from that one guy to let Oliver go through with it. So if both approved is the law wrong or Oliver and the victim? I feel this is something the movie tries to convey a bit. Again this movie is not for the feint of heart or weak stomach.
