Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
fx-23112 The main subject of that film is not based on real facts. Eating other people doesn't make us any stronger or healthier in real life. But if indeed made us feel stronger and healthier, I bet we would eat each other as this is the basic rule of evolution. Only the stronger will survive.So if the question is eat or die, then the right answer is that nobody wants to die.About the film was well made and is some parts you might find a hidden sense of humor, and also actors are good. Besides the protagonist is a very good one. It is a fair choice for a horror movie, won't leave you disappointed.
jackvictore The first time I watched this movie I remember getting dizzy. I felt like I was going to pass out. I had to leave the room. The movie begins with some whimsical moments. The opening title sequence is rad but it brings your guard down. It tricks you into thinking this is some kind of comedy or even a family friendly flick. Don't be fooled! This is a very violent movie dealing with cannibalism. Perhaps the most off- putting aspect to this film is the score. The music is mostly composed with cheesy and unsettling synths and sounds like something out of Napoleon Dynamite.There are moments of what seem like comic relief while at the same time being morbid and downright disturbing. I give this movie five bags of popcorn and a nice glass of cold water to help you from passing out. For a truly unique adventure this makes a great film to watch on a cold winters day with a nice warm blanket and your favorite beef/pork stew recipe!
watty2010 It escapes me how anyone can possibly give this film higher than 1 out of 10. The characters are completely one dimensional, the pace of the film is all over the place, the acting is awful (especially considering the calibre of actors involved), the musical score is completely inappropriate and annoying and the plot is childlike. I don't know anything about the director of this monstrosity of a film but I wouldn't be surprised if I was told it was her first effort.Anytime anything happens or we think something might happen, the director blows it by making the scene so woefully laboured that any possibility of suspense evaporates and turns quickly to bored frustration. Throughout this viewing ordeal, I was wondering if I was watching a horror movie made for children by children.Some have described this as a black comedy. I would describe it as a train wreck.
GL84 Arriving at a secluded forest-bound fort, an Army Officer joins the present company investigating a stranger's tale of cannibalism and learns their charge is a ravenous cannibal out trying to eat the remaining troops.Overall this one was quite a disappointment. One of the biggest problems with this one is the main villain himself, who is presented as such a completely unimposing physical presence that he could very easily be physically overpowered that his rants and raving don't really hold that much weight to them. On top of all that, he seems so twitchy and paranoid that there's very little reason to believe anything he's saying, and the tent encounter on the trek up to the trail should've been another giveaway of his true intentions. Likewise, there's one big problem here in the film asking us to take the side of someone of such reprehensible mortality and ethics by presenting him as the good-natured hero of the piece for all his time spent doling out those speeches and painting in a good light throughout which is really distressing. On top of the problems with him, the film is just plodding and dull during the latter half here which really tends to lower this one by featuring such bland scenes of the two slaughtering through the reserves on the base only to turn it into a philosophical battle about the morality of what they're doing rather than actively doing anything interesting as they're along at the fort, the perfect opportunity to engage in some rather than getting involved with some nice action. There's enough wrong here with all these factors for it to override the few good parts here. The main one is the initial recovery of the stranger and the subsequent expedition sent out based on his story, which has a lot of intriguing elements and lots of action the story is certainly chilling and sends them out in the woods appropriately, the journey there is fine and the darker path it takes following the revelations in the cave lead to the extended, thrilling chase scenes through the woods where they get face- to-face in several rather enjoyable encounters. The only other enjoyable facet here is the extremely fun, brutal and drawn-out finale confrontation where the bloodied combatants brawl throughout the fort which is quite an enjoyable and exciting scene that's more action-packed than anything else in the film, but is not enough to help this against the flaws.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Language, Brief rear Nudity, strong themes of cannibalism and mild drug use.
