Carnivore

Ok, I bought this movie as kind of a gamble buy. I must say as a gamble I absolutely lost this one. This movie is awful. At several points i had to turn the TV to full vol. just to hear the characters speak.

However... This movie does have one redeeming quality, besides that very arousing sex scene(joking). This movie is perfect to watch at about 4 or 5 in the morning with a bunch of friends, you will laugh your heads off at it. Have fun making fun of this one people!

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!

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.....

This film has a great monster, atomospheric lighting, good camerawork, and an excellent music score. The sound quality was a bit muffled, but other than that this was one of the better "B" movies I've seen in awhile. And the DVD is packed with great extras like a 42-minute behind-the-scenes that's a textbook case study in the making of low budget indie movies. Definitely a must-have for B-movie enthusiasts!

I thought I'd seen everything horror until I saw Carnivore. If you like the classic horror movies like Friday the 13th and Halloween, then I recommend checking this one out. I don't want to give away anything, but I hope they make a sequel.
