The Cannibal Man (1972)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Cannibal Man (Spanish La Semana del asesino) is a 1972 horror film, directed by Eloy de la Iglesia, and written by de la Iglesia and Antonio Fos.

Plot

After accidentally killing a taxicab driver, Marcos (Vicente Parra), a young man who works as a butcher, wants to cover up his crime. Marcos's girlfriend, the only witness, wishes to go to the police, so he strangles her. Marcos finds himself killing others, including members of his family, as they become suspicious of his actions, butchering his victims' remains at his workplace in order to dispose of the bodies.

Despite the international title, the film contains no scenes of cannibalism.

Notoriety

The film was featured on the British Director of Public Prosecutions' list of "video nasties".
