Gnaw

Pretty boring horror.

• Little to no atmosphere - No background story whatsoever - Useless mask on killer - Very unoriginal - No/crappy music

The acting was not bad and the film quality was great.. Just wish they had done something worthwhile with it..

I love horror movies, especially ones about serial killers and cannibals, but sadly there are not a lot out there that are any good. I fell for the "rave reviews" about this movie, I have to say they did a pretty good job marketing it. And it doesn't look like a crappy camcorder movie either, it actually looks like a quality movie.. Sadly there's nothing special about this and all in all it's just boring. Sorry for you actors and filmmakers, but I have to advice people to not waste time on this movie.

All the UK reviews are fake.

This is Gregory Mandry first attempt to direct a movie. Did he fail, no and yes. But the way it failed was more a fact due the low budget and the weak script. It starts pretty well but once the victim is captured by the disguised killer you can see were it goes wrong. The killing is done off-screen. Not that I mind but the result of the killing is also not shown. But if you look who is in it as actor and who are the writers or the team behind it than you see that they all are involved in Zombie Diaries 1 and 2. So clearly a bunch of friends trying to make a horror.

The killer isn't convincing at all, why he's wearing a mask is never explained. When the gang is going for a weekend to a house that they hired the landlady is clearly involved in the killings from the first time she appears. The acting was okay but you never get involved into their characters. Someone is having an affair with the girlfriend of his girlfriend and some want to have sex and you see things coming but it is never expanded towards their characters. When one of the girls is being captured she's bear breasted but once the chainsaw of the killer is shown she just sits there and waits to be hacked. You know what I mean.

I won't going to say that it was all that bad, some effects were okay like the acid scene and the scene with the pitchfork but overall it lacks here and there. For buffs it will be a disappointment but for teenagers it will be a delight.

A small observation about the merits of this film and these reviews.....

ALL FIVE of the preceding posts are from single posting members (in the UK)and were all posted within two weeks of each other.

What? Did a memo go out to the entire movie cast to post positive reviews on IMDb?

Did someone really "like this film so much that she saw it several times and recommended it to several of her friends"?

Night of the living dead it ain't

For shame.

Gnaw otherwise known as Cannibal Kitchen was pretty much doomed from the start for me. For a start it's UK cinema and I don't have the habit of enjoying British stuff very often, second it's cannibal themed and thats a sub-genre I rarely appreciate.

It tells the usual story of a group of 20 somethings who go away together for a weekend of debauchery only to run foul of a psychotic butcher who turns his victims into meals.

The most alarming thing here is the lack of originality. People turn up, get picked off one by one, screaming, stabbing and the obligatory final girl type character. We've seen it so many times that any aspiring filmmaker should surely think twice before releasing such generic garbage like Gnaw.

It has nothing going for it at all. It had one single "Twist" which I predicted within the first quarter of the film. It's just so paint by numbers it made my head hurt.

If you aren't going to try then why even make the movie?

The Good:

Nope

The Bad:

Devoid of originality

Predictible nonsense

I love British Horror's, and i was really looking forward to this film, but looking at the acting, well, i was disgusted with it. I have not seen such dry acting in a long time until now. The characters were predictable, bland, and most of all annoying. I wish they had better deaths, oh yes, and they were tension and gore free also. The most gore seen was with a pair of pliers and a tongue. The main Villain, wore a creepy hooded cloak, with an animal as a mask type thing (you'll just have to see it) He did look quite creepy i guess. Also what annoyed me with this film, was the final scene, there was no relationship shown between the two cannibals of this movie, and the final scene was way too quick and unsatisfying. They could of done a lot more with this movie, with the characters, the atmosphere and location. It was a real shame. If your after a lot of tension and gore, DO NOT watch this film.
