Eddie: The Sleepwalking Cannibal (2013)

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Instant Favorite.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Interesting, good actors and very good director. I really like this film ! Watch it, you won't regret it. This film is entertaining. In addition to receiving international awards , he received fine reviews in the media. Well done. Boris Rodriguez the director offers us a feature film quality. Without revealing the content, I especially like the opening scene of the film with the deer. The art of mixing humor and horror is a difficult art in cinema, Boris Rodriguez delights us with Eddie. I did not know these actors and am pleasantly surprised with their performance. You're gonna like easily the character of Eddie (as Dylan Scott Smith). Horror friendly and humorous moments . I think this is a movie to watch !

I have no idea where the notion that this was a musical had been instilled in my mind; perhaps I mixed it up with "Cannibal! The Musical" from 1993. Not really sure. But regardless, then I sort of put off watching this movie until now.I will say that it is a fairly entertaining, albeit stereotypical horror comedy.The story is about Danish painter Lars (played by Thure Lindhardt) who has come to Canada to work at an art school. The artist has been in a dry spell for 10 years and have no plans to return to making art. However, as he is stuck with having to taking care of a reclusive mute named Eddie (played by Dylan Smith), Lars finds inspiration for his new paintings as he finds out that Eddie sleepwalks, and does so pretty vile stuff while sleepwalking.Storywise, then "Eddie" (aka "Eddie: The Sleepwalking Cannibal") was entertaining and had a funny - but dark - twist to it. I enjoyed the storyline, because it was a tad bizarre and out there.The movie was really brought to life by some great performances by the people who were hired for the various roles and characters."Eddie" is good entertainment for anyone who enjoys a dark and bloody horror comedy.

This is exactly the shot in the arm that Canadian film needs at the moment. Quiet Revolution Pictures has made it their priority to work with other international companies to create edgy and unique films. Eddie: The Sleepwalking Cannibal is no different. The beginning sets the tone for the whole film. A man tries to navigate himself along a snowy Canadian landscape, and accidentally hits a deer. He pulls over and makes the humane choice to kill the suffering animal, but the only suitable tool at his disposal is a rock. After some initial bestial grunts, the deer is quickly dispatched. The driver, however, seems to have an odd fascination with the smashed skull and continues to pound the poor deer until he is interrupted by a local policeman. This exquisite and wordless opening provides everything you need to know to our main character Lars. He's lost, embarking on a destructive path, fascinated with bloodshed, and he quickly gets on the wrong side of the town's police force. What follows is the story of a downward spiral that has its share of cringe worthy gore, light hearted humor, and unexpected touching moments. It is an interesting watch and a must- see for those interested in Hollywood-alternative cinema.

Artist create art, but often they need a bit of inspiration to get the vision of their creation. Artists Lars Olafssen is in a bit of a funk, he has not produced anything in over ten years. So he find a home in a school as a teacher, there he still cannot break his silence. He befriends Eddie, who is a bit slow and an outcast. Lars has the patience to bring him into his confidence and discovers a hidden secret, when Eddie sleeps he craves flesh and his dreams get him carried away as he becomes the sleep walking cannibal. This gruesome discovery excites Lars and he finds inspiration in what would disgust others. This showing was part of opening for the new home of Cineprov! at the Plaza Theatre, where local arts use their improv talent to add color to the scenes on the big screen.
