But seriously I love the idea of Cannibalism as the true Fountian of Youth...that Ponce De Leon needed look no further than the flesh of his fellow man. Wonderfully subversive.
Yes, I agree. It's nice actually having an intelligent, well-thought out cannibalism film.

I remember being hooked within the first ten minutes of the film, where Guy is dining with some folks and gets sick at the sight of meat. The way that it's filmed makes the viewer naucious, and though you don't know specifics, you have a pretty damn good clue as to what's about to pursue.

**minor spoiler**

I also thought the twists on our knowledge of who belonged to the "cult" was very well played.
