And why not? Cannibal tribes worldwide have thought that by eating the flesh of their victims and their dead imbibed them with all sorts of powers. So here we have the vitality of flesh transfering to another person through the consumption of that flesh. The Christians call it "Communion.":D
Anyway... I remember the first time that I saw that movie... My friend (former) and I were completely stunned at it's grotesque humor and developement. When it was over, we turned of the film and burst out laughing. Very weird, but delightful experience.
