American Cannibal – The Documentary
Picture:
C+ Sound: C Extras: C- Film: C
Though it
pretends to be a serio-comic piece, the only goal of the Perry Gresin/Michael
Nigro mess American Cannibal – The Documentary is to legitimize bad reality TV and most
of its founders are interviewed. Is this
a self-critique meant to deflect questioning this type of program? Who cares!
It is as tired as it is condescending and except for some archival
value, a wreck.
The letterboxed
1.78 X 1 image is dull, boring and typical of HD productions today with limited
detail and depth. The Dolby Digital 5.1
mix is stretching it a bit, sounding terrible, is often badly recorded and has
no surrounds. Extras include TV
commercials, audio commentary, theatrical trailer, interviews and four dull
video shorts.
