There is a reason movies, TV shows, and books about cannibalism are always rated as horror or thriller, from “A Certain Hunger” to “Yellowjackets,” to “Tender Is The Flesh,” to “Raw” and many others, going back to 1973’s “Soylent Green.”
That reason is because cannibalism is the practice of humans eating other humans, that was common for a variety of reasons in many regions until it became prohibited by modern civilization for reasons that shouldn’t have to be explained.
Throughout the past couple of decades, not only has cannibalism been used to terrify the masses as “entertainment,” but it has become a topic of many and article, and in most cases, other than medical pieces, it almost seems as if writers are attempting to normalize the practice.
