Quick Answer

What is Cannibal Rollerbabes about?

Cannibal Rollerbabes is a 1997 Canadian comedy-horror film directed by Kalman Szegvary about two friends whose fishing trip turns bizarre after they discover a note warning of cannibalism and stumble into a cult of roller-skating women.

Programmer's Pick

If your idea of a lakeside retreat includes cannibal cults, radio-controlled femme fatales, and more rollerblades than a 1990s rink, Cannibal Rollerbabes is your peculiar jam. This Canuxploitation oddity serves up ritual antics and big cleavage with a knowing wink.

Overview

Scott and Chuck are just looking for a peaceful fishing getaway at a remote summer cabin, but when Scott reels in a cryptic note reading 'People Eating People,' their plans veer straight into the absurd. Their decision to pass by two roadside girls seems harmless, but soon Scott is plagued by strange visions, and their supposedly quiet weekend becomes increasingly surreal. With hints of cultish activity, roller skates, and a lurking sense of danger, this Canadian indie comedy-horror sets up a wild collision of slasher tropes and offbeat humor, as two best friends face a threat far weirder than anything they could have imagined.
