Marcos (Vicente Parra) is a slaughterhouse worker whose tenuous emotional stability is pushed over the edge one day. With little provocation, he goes on a week-long bender of violence and murder, killing an annoying cab driver, his nosey fiancée, his inquisitive brother, his would-be father-in-law, and an unfortunate prostitute. The corpses begin to pile up in Marcos' apartment, and he has to find a way to dispose of them. Marcos happens to have a meat grinder, and he begins to wonder if eating his victims might be a good way to cover his tracks. Cannibal Man, also known as La Semana del Asesino and The Apartment on the 13th Floor, was one of a number of horror films banned in England in the 1980s as a "video nasty." ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Bill Gibron, PopMatters
Like Delicatessen without Caro and Jeunet's flair for the visual, or Tobe Hooper taken Continental, there is much more to Cannibal Man than death, dismemberment, and digestion.
