Appetites (2015)
8/10
DEAD GIRLS DON'T CRY
28 October 2018
Warning: Spoilers
The film opens with Bubba (Scott Barrows) and Daisy (Lauren Parkinson) as you typical sibling cannibal twosome. In a subplot, John (Bret Roberts) likes to kill women after sex, especially those with tattoos. When the two meet I was expecting something like "Psychos in Love" but it fell short in dark comedy.

The film had some aspects to distinguish it from the genre. One was that Bret Roberts performed his own songs during the film. While not overly memorable, they were certainly topical. The second aspect was the tattoo nudity. The naked victims were porn star Bonnie Rotton and Malice McMunn both famous (or infamous) for their body art work. It seems our siblings had some daddy issues which were not explored and will most likely come out in the prequel after they run the sequels into the ground...if I know the film industry...and I don't.

The main problem I had with the film is that on screen Bret Roberts looks like Chris Cleveland who looks like John Grohl. I had trouble keeping them separate in my mind. There appears to be a certain modern look/grooming the guys are all imitating. If you love this mindless genre, worth a view.

Guide: F-bomb, sex, nudity, cannibalism, severed body parts. Lauren Parkinson in black bra and daisy dukes.
