Carnivore

Even thinking about this film enough to write this review is causing a burning sensation in my brain, similar to the night I forced myself to sit through it. I feel compelled to add this much-deserved one-star rating to help offset some other reviewers, (most likely the unfortunate victims of head injuries),who have given this film two or more stars. Watching this film should be considered as a torture replacement to the now frowned-upon 'water boarding'.

I thought I had found the bottom of the movie-quality well with "Alien 3000", but "Carnivore" made me realize that the penny had much further down to fall. How do you portray an effective cat-and-mouse plot in a single family house!?!? There's only one hallway upstairs, yet the characters moved around each other like they were in some inter-dimensional Tardis. And those Federal "agents" who were supposed to be funny made me want to lay my face into a deli meat slicer and turn it on. I DO invite you to watch it, since misery loves company.....

where does one start? the horrible acting? the lame story? the rotten direction, lighting, editing? how about the incredibly awful sound? and it has that "made in the 80's" feel to it. Uggh! I read that this film was shot and edited over a ten year period........dear god, this is all they could come up with in 10 years? I can't remember another horror film as bad as this except maybe The Item. All I can say is that all the reviews that thought this had ANYTHING good to it must have been made by people who watched it while imbibing huge quantities of alcohol or had some really good weed for the experience. NOTHING redeeming about this movie. Even if you bought/rent it for free you're still robbed of the hour and a half of your life it took to sit through this waste. Sorry Mr. Kurtz, this is no reflection of you as a person, but if you're reading this my strong suggestion to you is to find another line of work. I want my ten bucks back!

A Top Secret Government project decides to set up its laboratory in the basement of an abandoned old house.They're using genetics to create an intelligent,regenerating mutant critter for the purposes of warfare.Even more inevitably,four teenagers decide to pick that night to camp out in the spooky old house."Carnivore" is absolutely bad and painful to watch.Whoever give it a 10 needs to have his/her head examined.I can't believe that it took almost twelve years to make this piece of cow dung.The acting is horrendous,the creature looks lame and there is absolutely no suspense.A couple of gore scenes can't save this this boring trash from fading into total obscurity.Watch this one only under the influence of alcohol.3 out of 10 and that's being kind.

My friend Marie bought this movie at Walmart for $4.88, and she told me that this is probably going to be one of the worst movies that I will ever see. I must say that this is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. 2nd in line is Hobbs End, but that is another story and It is better than this one. the 3rd worst movie is Komodo. If anyone disagrees with me please tell me because I'm always looking forward to laughs. My friend Marie proudly states that she saw this movie 3 whole times in a week and a half. Imagine that! She says it's good quality tv...riiight. Ewww boooring. The beginning was incredibly slow and I had to keep my eyes open so I wouldn't fall asleep. I tried to split the scene several times but my friend made me stay for the whole movie. I actually don't remember much of it except for the scene where they are drinking beer, running around a musty house, a woman agent fighting with a guy holding an uzi and this monster that looks like the honeycomb monster thing off of the honeycomb box. My favorite scene was when honecomb jumped out of the shadows and attacked the guy and tossed his organs around. The ending was dumb, don't remember it, don't remember the beginning..there's not much to remember. So the grand rating for this movie is: 1.3/10 marie's rating: 9.2/10

This easily ranks as one of the worst horror movies i have ever seen. And i have seen hundreds and hundreds. I love low-budget "so bad they're good" cult movies as much as the next fan of the horror genre, but Carnivore is just bad, bad, bad! UTTERLY TERRIBLE!!!

Where to begin? The video box makes the plot sound like it would be at least a partially entertaining horror movie. Nothing could be further from the truth. Everything about this film is B-O-R-I-N-G. The laughable monster looks like a Halloween mask with fur on it. The "death special effects" are some of the worst i have ever seen. Also, it tries to be funny many times during the movie and fails completely. The budget on this was obviously only a couple thousand dollars at most.

THE ACTING? THE DIRECTING? Very, very bad on both counts. A complete amateur mess. If this was the director's first film then i would recommend...FINDING ANOTHER LINE OF WORK!!!

THE PICTURE? This was obviously shot on video, i rented the DVD for Carnivore, and i've seen bad VHS tapes with a better picture! It is also as if they used hardly no lighting at all, the film is so dark at times that it's like watching a black screen.

THE SOUND? It sounds like a raw mix recorded on noisy sets. Most of the time you can barely understand the dialogue. An elementary student could have done a better job.

It's amazing that a reputable company such as 20th Century Fox is distributing this film. Horror fans, stay clear of this garbage, there are tons of better movies out there. It's not even worth watching once, it really is that bad. I feel very sorry for anyone who actually thinks this is a good movie. I would not even give this 1 out of 10.
