Horror
only needs to look to the news for inspiration. Real life can be as
terrifying as anything created by Hollywood. Such is the case for these
two movies: Grimm Love is the glossier production starring Kerri
Russell, Thomas Kretschmann and Thomas Huber the latter being Cannibal a
raw and visceral low budget movie. Both are based on the Rotenburg
Cannibal case from Germany. Armin Meiwes posted an ad to meet someone
that wants to be eaten. Bernd Jürgen Armando Brandes responds to the ad
becoming his victim. It is hard to the comprehend hidden desires
people harbor. To watch the story unfold takes great patience. Grimm
Love is the lesser of two evils while Cannibal doesn't hold back on the
gore.
Horror
can take us to dark places. It can challenge our minds and stamina.
These two movies might not be the best in the genre but they capture the
depravity humans are capable of.
