Human Hibachi
review by Mike Haberfelner

Steve (Frank Volpe), Jacob (Nicholas John Brennan), Lisa (Aliyah Batot)
and Mike (Mario Cerrito) have become obsessed with the cannibalistic
killers of the original Human
Hibachi, and with the video they shot, that they have decided to
not only follow their lead and hunt down, kill and eat people, and to
record their exploits on video to sell on the dark web, but they also try
to track down Doug Patrick (Jeff Alpert), the last of the original killers
still believed to be at large. They even have tracked him down to the
general area, some vast woodlands conveniently in the possession of
Steve's cannibal parents (Raymond Bolden jr, Julie Chapin), but it takes
its dear time before Doug even lets them find him. But once they have
found him, our heroes do their vilest to properly impress him ... Now
the first Human Hibachi was
a pretty gross film (and intentionally so), so one couldn't expect from
the sequel to hold back in any way, and in terms of explicit violence,
blood and guts, Human Hibachi 2 certainly doesn't hold back - but
interestingly enough, this film has not set out to outgross the original
but is a film that surprisingly has lots of heart as it's also about
reuniting a family, about finding and impressing one's father figure, and
about friendship - all wrapped into a found footage style film about rural
cannibals of course, a film that's certainly not violence-free, that has
its suspense, but also its spots of dark humour, and that will disturb you
in at least some way. So in all, it's certainly not a movie for everyone,
but for people into explicit horror it's most certainly a good watch, and
more than just another gorefest.
