Some Like It Rare aka Barbaque (2022)



"Everything Tastes Better With Vegans"


Following its UK premiere at this year's Glasgow Frightfest, Signature Entertainment are releasing Fabrice Eboué's French cannibal comedy horror picture on digital platforms.



Sophie (Marina Fois) and Vincent (co-writer and director Eboué) run a small butcher's shop. Business isn't good and their marriage is in a state of collapse. In fact the last thing they need is a raid by vegan activists, especially when Vincent accidentally kills one of them. The disposal of the body results in a new taste sensation they dub 'Iranian pork' and which quickly becomes the talk of the town. But when the stock runs out they are faced with a new problem: should they refill and where are they going to get the vegans from?



Visitors to this site may well be familiar with Paul Bartel's 1982 EATING RAOUL, a rather wonderful little black comedy in which Bartel and Mary Woronov play a married couple who want to open a restaurant and fund it by advertising kinky sex services and then killing their customers. Well SOME LIKE IT RARE is basically the same idea but with vegans instead of swingers. It also happens to be almost as funny, with our couple going to increasingly bizarre lengths to obtain their special meat.  



Blood-splattered, guaranteed to offend certain groups, and often very funny, SOME LIKE IT RARE gets maximum Michelin stars (or their horror equivalent) and is likely to be one of the top horror comedies of the year. Here's the trailer:





SOME LIKE IT RARE is out on Digital from Signature Entertainment on Digital Platforms on Monday 21st March 2022
