Going to be honest and say that I really don't have a whole lot to say about this one but I still felt like writing a little bit about it.
It's a pretty simple story about two brothers and one of their girlfriends taking six people hostage so that they can eat them. I liked how nonchalant the killers were about everything and I really enjoyed the overall cartoony/goofy tone of the movie. There were a few times where the over the top humor was a little too stupid, but it worked for the most part. The gore level was fairly high too so that was a plus.
This wasn't anything special but it was pretty entertaining and had a nice light/funny feel to it. A decent time killer for sure.
6.5/10

It feels like this movie might have been originally written for the stage? Awesome if so, particularly if they ever published the script, because it would be a cracker to produce.
I can see why it has mixed reviews, given the very specific sweet spot of obscure film references plus 80s-era non-CG gore plus the self consciously snarky machine style dialogue that is very much of the 90s but folks, this movie is SO much fun.
If you grew up on a diet of 80s and 90s horror and enjoy fast paced absurdist comedy I definitely recommend this tiny bleeding gem.

What a roller-coaster ride!
I was not expecting that much watching this movie. I thought about a bad C movie with a cheap producing. Already in the first minutes I realized that my thoughts were wrong.
I really enjoyed the movie very much. It's an elegant mix of comedy and horror, where the classification in the one or the other scope is not always obvious. Both genre are successfully assisted by the whole techniques and instruments of film making.
The story is pretty flat but that is not the point of the movie and you won't miss it. The focus is much more on the presentation of the different scenes, underlined by some suitable/ non suitable music, and good camera views. Last but not least the screenplay is pretty smart, so that you won't always know if you what you are watching is supposed fright or make you laugh.
Thank you for the experience mister Roday.

Psych Fans beware...this is NOT anything like Psych- it IS however and awesomely fun gorefest brought to us by a fabulous (and clearly influenced as a child by the awesomely fun and ridiculous 80's horror decade that made anyone who grew up in that decade slightly demented in a wonderful way) James Roday. If you love Evil Dead (all of them)Reanimator (and Bride of)Killer Clowns from OuterSpace,Fright Night, American Werewolf in London...goofy gore laden fun- then this is for you. I really enjoyed this movie. The cast was AMAZING there is not a single person in this that isn't fantastic. If weird, dark, sick, funny humor is your jam-then THIS is your jam. Keep an eye out for the LOL funny cameo by James and Dule which was the icing on the already delicious cake of a movie that this was. Check your morals and high standards at the door, kick back and enjoy.
This movie is twisted and wrong in all the right ways. Gravy is a fun movie with a lot of gore. It's a stoner flick at it heart. It smacks of Always Sunny, but leads with a Saw-esque theme that lacks the seriousness that most horror films take on. Nice job, cheers all around..!
