Instead of looking at this as a movie - a futile gesture - it might be best instead to occupy one's mind by taking the concept - a cannibal farmer (Rory Calhoun) who sells the bodies of hippies and outcasts as food - and applying cost-benefit analysis. Now, I have no idea what human flesh tastes like - sure, I've chewed on tiny, tiny pieces of my own dried skin before, but it can't be the same - though I'm positive the risks of getting caught with a garden of buried, muted bodies far outweigh the fact that the meat is essentially free and that all it 'costs' to maintain this human farming is time and energy (running a seedy hotel on the side helps pay the bills). Though it's more expensive, the option of perhaps looking into the methods of some of the best butchers from, say, Italy or Spain of curing or smoking the pigs, of looking into different cuts of meat, of different rubs might be better in the long-run, and avoid awkward conversations and investigations from the law. I refuse to believe a cooked stoner's flesh tastes all that great, either.
