CANNIBAL GIRLS (SHOUT FACTORY)

Ivan Reitman directed this obscure 1972 horror film about three lovely young women who are exactly as the title describes. Eugene Levy and Andrea Martin star as a young couple caught in the web of these homicidal women and their evil leader.
Some of this plays as good comedy and most of the dialogue was improvised as the filming went along. Shout has given this film a very pristine release and the extras include and interview with Levy who is somewhat preplexed about this film even being wanted.
It's great listening to Reitman telling how this entire film actually came into being. MGM dropped the ball on this by losing the rights and not putting it out on DVD, but thank goodness Shout Factory has the guts to do it.
