These girls do exactly what you think they do!

During a winter road trip, young couple Cliff (Schitt's Creek’s Eugene Levy) and Gloria (Black Christmas’ Andrea Martin) get lost and make an unplanned stop in Farnhamville, Ontario, a snowy small town known as “The Friendly City.” When they hear the legend of three local women with a history of murdering men, they playfully investigate. But to their horror, it seems the killers are still active, police and other locals are complicit, and they’re all feasting on the victims. When the cannibals develop an appetite for Cliff and Gloria, they race to get on the road – before they get on the menu.

A decade before achieving blockbuster status with Ghostbusters, director Ivan Reitman put himself on the map with this more unsettling stab at horror comedy featuring future icons (and SCTV stars) Levy and Martin. Drawing inspiration from the Manson family and other shocking, drug-fueled horrors of the hippie era, Cannibal Girls is a gruesome Canuxploitation classic that set the stage for the provocative horror films – including Shivers, Rabid, and the Ilsa series – Reitman went on to produce at Cinépix. The film also made a splash in the U.S. where American International Pictures added a gimmick worthy of William Castle: a “warning bell” preparing viewers for “scenes of an especially erotic or gruesome nature.”
