Warning: Spoilers
When I read on the box, "based on a true story" I really don't know what that means anymore as so many of these films include the paranormal or aliens. This tale is different and is close to being a documentary with heavy annoying narration throughout. In a nutshell the horror story is about a gay male German cannibal who advertises on the Internet for victims...and gets them.

Keri Russell plays Kate Russel, an American student in Germany obsessed with the pyschological aspect of the case that she decides to write about it for her thesis. The story is told as a flashback leading up to the point where she gets the forbidden tape of the actual killing and eating.

As a docu-drama it is mildly interesting, but slow and not entertaining. As a horror film, don't bother. The low key first person narration negates any horror aspect of the film and turns a cannibal film into something boring.

one f-bomb, rear male nudity, men kissing, action centers around a severed male organ being eaten. We did learn that if you take a bottle of sleeping pills with a bottle of cough syrup, chase it down with a beer you can sleep through anything.
