Appetites

What does wet your appetite? How would you choose the right mate for you? And is someone less evil than someone else, when both are insanely evil? Would that make them the perfect match? And will they even realize it? So many questions you can have ... so many things you may feel offended by too, nudity and blood being amongst them.

The first two names mentioned in the top cast are not really the playing the main characters here. At least Jame Duvall maybe a name you have heard before (Donnie Darko). But don't expect something subtle like that - this is more in your face sinister and crazy. If you can dig that, the movie can be quite the treasure. It doesn't make too much sense, but it stays true to its anarchy set of "rules" it sets for itself. Stick through the credits for some funny outtakes.

A serial killer is seducing tattooed women and then killing them. Then he meets a (seemingly) untattooed woman and figures she's the one. What he doesn't know is that she and her family are cannibals. The romance turns into a clash of killers.

I had very low expectations for this as it looked and felt B-grade schlock-horror. It is that, but has some redeeming qualities. The plot is interesting and edgy. The graphicness of the violence adds a grittiness and edginess that you don't see too much in B-grade slasher-horrors. Performances aren't as bad as they could have been.

This is not to say that this is some sort of hidden gem. It's far from that: the production values are still quite poor and all the positives I mentioned are only relative to your average slasher-horror. Still it's entertaining and interesting enough to pass the time.

This is such a mess. Dont waste your time. The nudity isnt even that good. The sound track is obnoxious. The killing makes no sense because the script is lame. The actors may be good if they had a good script, but they were so over the top obnoxious I had to turn it off. This is a no.

How come this so-called horror hasn't got a review so far? Mostly that isn't good news ans after seeing it I can understand why. The script isn't that bad at all and does remind you of those other flicks concerning serial killers working together like for example Natural Born Killers (1994) due the boy and girl stuff or Henry (1986). But Appetites will never be in the category of Classic.

One serial killer called John Doe (anybody?) has it for tattooed girls, after having sex or while doing it he kills them. The other killer, Daisy, has decapitated her father together with her brother after being sexual abused as a kid. Naturally they come across each other.

The problem with Appetites is the fact that they tried to add some comedy towards some disturbing scene's but sadly that didn't work. John Doe singing while killing, could work but it becomes pathetic. After 45 minutes I was thinking to push the stop button but still when Daisy and John do become closely I thought, well, maybe the horror will come in now.

But before those 45 minutes the only thing that did appetite me where the sex scenes. The tattooed girls really did their stuff well and it's easily explained why because all those girls do actually work in the real porn industry. So yes, there's a bit of full frontal here and there.

You also can spot how cheap it was made, day for night shoots, really? A lot of blah blah and after 60 minutes nothing seems to work anymore. John Doe singing again, the severed head of the dad kept by Daisy's brother even becomes laughable. No this is plain boring, after 45 minutes everything is gone...no suspense, no tattooed girls, no nothing.

The story is totally original and pays homage to my favorite Texan cannibal!! The practical Fx are really good ... it's a low budget film that knows exactly what it is ,,, Daisy is totally worth the watch! With that being said watch it for what it is ! And enjoy !!!!
