With a title like this, how can you not be licking your chops?

The cannibalistic comedy EDDIE: THE SLEEPWALKING CANNIBAL has been picked up for U.S. distribution by Chicago-based Music Box Films, reports Variety. The flick, which had its North American premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival this year, was directed by Canadian helmer Boris Rodriguez.

The synopsis: Young artist Lars has hit the proverbial creative brick wall. Up till now, his creativity has come at too high a cost: inspiration could only come in the form of carnage – blood, guts and limbs – and he’s vowed to never go down that dark road again. He settles in small town and meets Eddie who suffers from a rare form of sleepwalking which transforms him from docile art student into ravenous sleepwalking cannibal craving for fresh meat. At long last, here was the muse Lars had been searching for. Truly exceptional art comes at a very high price…even if it means sacrificing human lives.

There isn’t any exact release date for the film yet, but hopefully that info will be passed down the table soon. Put a bib on, you animal.
