OMNIVORES
Oscar Rojo
Synopsis
Marcos Vela, an influential culinary journalist, agrees to write an article for an independent publisher on the recent emergence of clandestine restaurants. While conducting his research, he meets Eva, a woman with whom he will maintain an intense relationship. To help him with his review, Eva introduces Marcos to the world of clandestine restaurants. His investigation will lead him to discover that in one of these restaurants, furtive gatherings take place where, in exchange for tremendous amounts of money, people can experience a taste of human flesh. Marcos convinces the independent publisher who hired him to pay the price that will let him enter this strange world. Once in, Marcos will find himself involved into some uncanny luxurious cannibalism and will become a victim of the Organization, from which it will be impossible to escape from. Hannibal Lecter meets La Grande Bouffe is a great tag line for Oscar Rojo’s latest film, two years after his debut Brutal Box. Vegans and vegetarians alike will probably be traumatized by Omnivores, but genre gourmets who like to see their gore served with a tasty b-movie sauce will gobble it up. Especially with Fernando Albizu ( Pan’s Labyrinth, Intacto ) at the furnace!
