'A pitch -black satire on survival, celebrity and cannibalism in the 21st century A sickly black comedy from the creators of "Rageboy." If John Candy won't stop eating, his feet will be amputated. But at 200-kilos he doesn't do much walking anyway. As his legs decay, so do the lives of those around him: a female bodybuilder, teen neo-Nazi, and a senator who slices up celebrities.'
