Ivan Reitman's early CANNIBAL GIRLS is getting a UK DVD release courtesy of Nucleus Films on February 14. Clifford and Gloria (SCTV's Eugene Levy and Andrea Martin) honeymoon in a snowy Canadian town and hear the legend of the Cannibal Girls who lured men to their isolated house. The young, wisecracking couple are recommended to the old house which has now been converted into a gourmet restaurant run by the cloaked and top-hatted Reverend Alex St. John (Ronald Ulrich) and three pretty women. After sampling the cuisine, they are invited to stay the night rather than walk home in the dark. Will Clifford and Gloria wind up on the next day's menu? Long unavailable since its AIP theatrical release (and a rare Canadian VHS tape), CANNIBAL GIRLS has been remastered in high definition. Nucleus Films' forthcoming R2 PAL DVD is a cool extras-laden package available just in time for Valentines Day.
