Based on the true story of Canada's only convicted cannibal Alferd Packer, this film stars Trey Parker(South Park) as Alferd. He accidently gets himself into leading a group made up of himself and five other men from Utah to Colorado Territory to mine for gold. The set off expecting the trip to take no more than three weeks but it takes a little longer. On the way they meet a group of trappers who have their eye on Alferd's horse, and also best friend Leanne. One night Leanne disappears and the group start to get lost. The go off the trail after they are washed down a river. They meet some japenese indians, who believe they are indians because they have teepees. Alferd suspects that the trappers, who are also at the indian cmp have stolen her and when they leave Alferd leaves too dispite the warnings from the indian chief.
They get more and more lost and run out of food. They think they have found salvation when they find a lamb but get chased away by a cyclops. They start to go insane and one member gets shot after he won't stop singing about snowmen. They are forced to eat him and Alferd is the only one who gets out alive. But did he really kill all those people in a rampage or did something else happen.
This has to be one of my favourite films it stars Trey Parker and Matt Stone and is another example of how talented they are. The film is hilarious. From the encounter with the cyclops with his puss spewing eye to the trappers and miners arguing about sharp and flat notes. The opening is hilarious and is really gory so gore hounds will not be disappointed. Some of the humour may not be to everyones taste as they are some silly bits but I loved it. It is a must for any fans of South Park or Trey and Matts other films.
The songs are catchy and funny as you can tell from the titles like Lets Build a Snowman and When I was on top of you(a song about Pakers horse). The plot is good and the jokes and laughs are hilarious. I would
recommend this film to anyone.
