Lovely Molly and Grabbers
Eddie - The Sleepwalking Cannibal (Eddie) (Country: Canada, Denmark; Year: 2011; Director: Boris Rodriguez)
A once successful Danish painter accepts a teaching post at a remote Art School in Canada. There he befriends the mute nephew of one of the school’s crucial benefactors, and rediscovers artistic inspiration in his strange new friend’s bloodthirsty nocturnal activities... Armed with the brilliant Thule Lindhardt’s cleverly endearing central performance, Director Boris Rodriguez deftly achieves a perfect balance of outrageously black humour and genuinely grisly horror, ensuring that Eddie earns its place as a hilariously disturbed cult classic.
