"Shot on Super 8 film and edited on decaying VHS tapes in Chicago, the experimental horror movies of late musician and filmmaker J.T. IV (aka John Henry Timmis IV) feel like an unholy alliance between David Bowie and Charles Manson. This includes CANNIBAL ORGY—a Satanic panic ode to BLOOD FEAST, Lucio Fulci, and stoned glam rock." - Bleeding Skull
CANNIBAL ORGY unspools into an ungodly trance film determined to pummel the viewer into blasphemous submission amidst an LSD-infused hellscape. Three Satan-worshipping cannibals wreak havoc in the streets of Chicago as they commit endless acts of fuckery in search of their next victim, including a stop at the Aragon for an Insane Albino concert! This scuzzed-out fever dream with a score so brutalized it makes Merzbow sound mainstream — is guaranteed to rot your brain, heart, and soul in equal measure, leaving nothing in its wake but the stinking detritus of human flesh on a filthy apartment floor.
