Cannibal: The Musical.
Alfred Packer: The Musical or Cannibal as it is known outside of Colorado is an enjoyable, and surprisingly upbeat musical from Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Originally shot in 1993, it features catchy numbers such as the offbeat and laughably optimistic "Let's Build a Snowman", the offbeat "The Trappers Song" and a twisted take on big number Roger and Hammerstein song called "Hang the Bastard". The film does have it's faults, though. The singing is somewhat offkey in parts, certain jokes never payoff, and the film is slow to gain momentum. All in all it's an respectably made indie musical from a couple of college students.
