Not a film to watch before, during, or after eating

"Last Supper" is about a plastic surgeon who develops a taste for human flesh, most notably, that of young women. You see him putting oil on one young lady who is seated in his living room and telling her that he wants to eat her, and she says, "you may eat me". Little does she expect his comment is something other than what SHE seems to be thinking, and she's rather surprised to see him wielding a large butcher knife right before he lops her head off. It seems that this doctor started with eating fat from liposuction (vile) and then found a housewife that had hung herself and stocked his freezer with her for a while. He also made a trip to Hong Kong for a seminar and ended up finding a place where human meat was consumed, and a "date" that wanted to be eaten, at least for a fee that she could send to her family back home. Ugh. Being eaten without one's consent is bad enough, but WANTING to be eaten is something entirely different. At any rate, due to the great number of young ladies disappearing the police are investigating and one detective (who looks like a Japanese take on "Columbo") has zeroed in on our doctor, although he has ulterior motives. And the grand finale is a wedding feast, prepared by our good doctor and followed by a present that kind of brings all the proceedings to a halt when it's unveiled. A really creepy and disgusting film, although well done, not for the faint of heart or weak of stomach though. 7 out of 10.
