    red meat for dinner

    One sure thing you can say about "The Cook" is that the plot of this movie is innovative, it is not another movie about a group of teens who get lost in a distant road, it is something new and refreshing. This movie is far away from being a psychological horror with a deep script and a thrilling soundtrack, it is a funny and easy horror comedy. As i said before, it is not an high quality movie but "The Cook" is just make you laugh and smile and that is what we should expect from those kind of movies. The thing I liked the most in this movie is that it does not shows you only the scenes of the killings, the blood and the internal organs, (like a lot of other movies) it shows also the growing relationships between the characters especially between lance the geek boy and bunny the hot girl. In summary, if you are looking for a deep and qualitative horror so keep searching because it is not this movie, but if you are looking for a nice, funny and easy horror movie, so this is the one for you!

    A Hungarian Cook his hired by a bunch of sorority girls, and one by one he kills them and feeds them to each other.

    In my opinion, this movie was actually quite humorous, but in a cheesy way. No part of this movie was actually scary, besides the fact that he is the creepiest cook ever. Dialogue wise, this movie was just filled with profanity and sexuality. The fact that they show the cook cutting up his victims into eating portions is just way over the top. The acting was not all that great either but from the cook it was alright, he gave the creepy sense of him, specially when he was chasing his victims. Overall this movie disappointed me , and i give it a 4/10. I would not recommend watching this movie with family, as it can get awkward, actually i don't recommend watching this movie at all.

    Excellent "killing scenes" both technical and acting. Recommend.

    I liked the fact that the killing scenes were quite realistic and not overdone. The attacker did a good job of playing warm/friendly, then breaking into his bad role, then the height of his anger. Even though everyone knows from the poster who the bad guy will be, the element of surprise was nevertheless still there as to the method and details. I thought the coeds for the most part pulled off their death roles rather well, considering that they are not accomplished actresses. The meals served at the dining table were convincing, as were the few meat prep scenes in the kitchen. What I liked most were the 2 heads, but thought they would have been more effective if shown a few more seconds. The bit of humor that was included was a nice extra.

    Relatively entertaining

    In a sorority some girls go on a vacation while others stay behind. We will follow those who stay at the sorority house. They're an entertaining bunch: an innocent fanatic Christian girl who is the object of lust of an aggressive girl, a medical student who does nothing but study, a slutty girl, a trio of friends made up of a dumb blonde and two foul-mouthed lesbians who spend most of the time high, an exercise fanatic who has a guy over to tutor her, but she doesn't want anything else with him.

    Their new cook arrives, a Hungarian who can only say "OK" in English. He prepares them delicious meat dishes. But little by little the girls start disappearing. The cook doesn't appear as to them as a suspect because he's always covered in blood hacking meat. The pretty medical student sort of falls for the cook even though he tells her what he will to do her friends, in Hungarian, and she thinks it sounds sweet.

    The dialogue is pretty funny and the girls are given good and distinct personalities. There's some gore, and a bit is gruesome. There are a couple of twists near the ending. Overall an OK lower budget horror movie saved by the fun girls and also the cook does a good job as a mad serial killer.

    The Cook - sort of OK,,,

    I appreciate independent films and people trying to make a movie happen and they put their heart and soul into it. This was probably the case here. The story is typical horror Girls being chased by bad guy. The lead was so so she just wasn't grabbing my attention, she should be cast for more for a hallmark film. The other girls were pretty good, the stupid one just had bad lines..Anyways the story, the sets, the gore, the cast, all pretty good The lead (the cook) was intriguing all in all ***The negative was that we never knew why he hated and wanted to kill I would of liked to have seen the cook as a boy being harassed by college girls or seeing his mom die from drunk girls ..you get the picture..Revenge horror flicks are always the best.
