Rish Outfield's reviews
"He was licking me!"
I didn't want to see this, but now I'm glad I did. It was kind of cool. I don't have much to say about this one. It
didn't seem like Horror for the majority of the film, but I'll be darned if I could name what genre it was. Western?
Psychological Drama? Action? What do you call a frontier army base cannibal vampire flick?
Well, whatever it was, it included the omni-quotable line, "He was licking me!" It featured very pretty, if snowy
country, and some bizarre, jolly banjo-centric music. David Arquette was in it. Jeffrey Jones was too. Guy Pierce has,
like, three lines. What's his name, the guy with the bullet lodged in his head...well, he was there too. Hey, I'm sorry
folks. I didn't take very good notes on this one. I have seen Cannibal, the Musical twice, though, and it has a
very similar story. In fact, the two of them may be based on the same incident.
By the way, "He was licking me!"
