Synopsis

Cannibal (Caníbal, 2013) is a Spanish psychological thriller by Manuel Martín Cuenca you can watch online on iFILM. Carlos is the finest tailor in Granada — quiet, devout, impeccably polite. He also eats people.

There is almost no gore on screen and no monster to point at. Carlos kills the way other men file paperwork, then calmly butchers his catch at a cabin high in the mountains. Antonio de la Torre carries the role with barely a line of dialogue. Then a young Romanian woman moves in next door, her sister turns up soon after, and Carlos's tidy routine cracks for the first time. He may be falling in love.

Cuenca built a horror film about habit: the dread comes not from what you see but from how ordinary it all looks. The poster calls it "a love story," and it is one — only turned inside out. The tense scenes carry no music, and no one ever explains the appetite. For anyone who values cold, slow European cinema with zero jump scares, this is the one. Stream Cannibal (2013) online on iFILM.
