Review of Cannibal! The Musical (1996) by Corey W — 31 Jul 2013

Boasting their trademark darkly-raunchy comedy and crassly-catchy songs, Parker and Stone's first outing is cheesy low budget fun and it wears that badge with shining smile pride as it skewers old Hollywood musicals and historicals (complete with a big crowd dance number at a hanging) in retelling the infamous story of Alfred Packer, assisted by the surprisingly good production values, including a replica Western town, a small mine and some nice genre-familiar vistas and canyons, even if the acting by the mostly young cast leaves a little to be desired, but that would be to miss the point.
