After accidentally killing a taxicab driver, Marcos (Vicente Parra), a young man who works as a butcher, wants to cover up his crime. Marcos’s girlfriend, the only witness, wishes to go to the police, so he strangles her. Marcos finds himself killing others, including members of his family, as they become suspicious of his actions, butchering his victims’ remains at his workplace in order to dispose of the bodies.
Despite the international title, the film contains no scenes of cannibalism.
The film was featured on the British Director of Public Prosecutions’ list of “video nasties“.
