Mangeuses d'Hommes (English language release title Man Eaters) is a cult 1988 French-language sex-comedy/horror film, shot in Sierra Leone (mainly in the jungle near Tokey Beach and Black Johnson Cove) and based on a farce of the same name, first performed on stage in Paris, running for over five years and written by French author/director Daniel Colas. It is loosely based on the story of the survivors of the 1972 Andes plane crash who were forced to eat the bodies of their fellow passengers. It stars Catriona MacColl, Daniel Colas, Coralie Seyrig, Marc Sinden, Ray Lonnen, Roberta Weiss and Daniel Russo.

The publicity strap-line is "Two shipwrecked castaways discover the island they have landed on is shared by three beautiful women living alone." The 'island girls' decide to fatten up one of the men (Charles, played by Sinden) as a future store of food and use the other (Hubert, played by Colas) for menial tasks. The method of killing Charles for the feast is for Deborah (played by MacColl) to have sex with him until he dies. This caused some controversy and a review that said "En France ce sera considéré comme l'Art. Partout d'autre le considérera comme pornographie presque hardcore." (translation: "In France this will be regarded as Art. Everywhere else will regard it as almost hard-core pornography.")

Synopsis

Un bateau de croisière, avec à son bord plusieurs couples de grands bourgeois et leur petit personnel, échoue sur une île déserte. Après le choc des civilisations, la survie se met en place, les hommes aux commandes. Réduites aux travaux de couture, des champs et de cuisine, les trois uniques femmes, Deborah, Audrey et Elizabeth, profitent des rivalités masculines sanguinolentes pour reprendre la main… et la manger. Car chaque nouveau cadavre est prétexte à des libations gustatives, jusqu’au moment où tous les hommes ont été mâchés et digérés. Heureusement, deux nouveaux naufragés, les anthropologues Hubert et Martin, débarquent sur l’île. Martin passé à la casserole, reste le naïf et lunaire Hubert, qui doit désormais, seul, répondre à toutes les exigences des femelles carnivores. Parvenant à s’enfuir, Hubert tente de raconter son histoire, mais personne ne le croit.

Howard (Gordon Jennison Noice) is the meanest nastiest thug in town, a Harley riding criminal with a hot wife Loretta (Jacqueline Lovell). Loretta's problem is she's having an affair with Lance (Blake Adams), owner of the town diner and Howard’s getting suspicious. Driving back from one of their nightly flings, Lance witnesses the local family of weirdos, the Stackpools, dragging a man from his truck and into their house. Seeing this as an opportunity, Lance discovers the Stackpools terrible secret. They are quintuplets but instead of being born as a normal human, they each have one of the traits of one human being: One is extremely strong; one has extremely well-developed senses; one is extremely attractive (Alexandria Quinn); and, one is extremely intelligent. The whole family is run by the one who has super intelligence, the 'head of the family' from the title, Myron (J.W. Perra). Little more than a giant head with hands in a wheelchair, Myron psychically controls his other siblings, but seeks more. When idiotic locals fall for his trap, he experiments on their brains, trying to find a normal body to house his superior intellect. Lance blackmails the Stackpools with their secret, getting them to kill Howard and demanding $2,000 a week in cash. (The Stackpools are rich in oil and coal among other things) Eventually Myron tires of Lance's bottom-feeding, and captures him and Loretta, to get them to destroy the evidence of their secret. To force Lance's hand, he puts Loretta in a mock play of Joan of Arc in the basement, complete with a burning at the stake. The dumb strong one, seeing the 'pretty girl' in trouble, carries her off before she can be hurt, and burns the house down. With the Stackpools and Lance dead, the ever scheming Loretta realizes that the big dumb one is the heir to the family riches. She marries him inheriting all the Stackpool fortunes. The ending, however, suggests that Myron is still alive and is controlling the dumb one again.

A shy and timid man who lives with his mother buys a plant he thinks talked to him. His loneliness is very apparent in the way he tries to turn the plant into a friend. Well, the plant is carnivorous and can talk with a woman's sexy voice. Henry, the protagonist, now has two joys in life. One is being a voyeur (he is much too shy to actually talk to a girl) and the other is his new plant friend. Soon he discovers the plant likes bugs (and then frogs and dogs and cats but he draws the line at elephants). Eventually the plant wants to try a delicious woman, like in the pictures Henry has hanging in his room.
