Carnivore (1989)

I love this movie so much

Powerful

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

With an unknown cast of actors, terrible sound quality and even worse picture quality, and a plastic monster probably stolen from someone's house one halloween night... it's a miracle this pile of garbage was even released. It had the right idea for a horror movie; have a pretty slack story, so to make more room for scares. but... the plot in this movie is in its own category of garbage, being a mix of the classic teens-enter-the-haunted-house-and-bad-stuff-happens idea, and some retarded sci-fi crap that just plain doesn't fit. and well... the movie also lacks as a horror for the very poor, even more predictable, and incredibly few, scares. the puppet-like monster is to slow to make it a jumpy movie.*spoilers after this point*The story: a mansion is used by the government to contain a research lab of high importance for developing a new type of creature to be used by the military. something goes wrong (naturally), and the creature is free to roam the whole house (prior to was contained in the basement). some teens decide to check out this 'haunted house' and for about 45 minutes, nothing happens to them. it is very dull, slow, and unsuspenseful. not to mention, the FBI (i think?) and some local police slowly make their way to the house, where their exciting journey (driving a car on the road) is shown for probably 15 or 20 minutes in total in the movie. it's just pointless!!the Good points: the kills. hahahahaha if you enjoy low budget, hilarious, overdone gory kills, then this is your movie. if anything saved the movie at all, it was the 3 or so people that died. i could not believe how hilarious the kills were. they were just so unbelievable. (made all the better by the fact that every other part of the movie is so boring; i didn't expect them to be so entertaining).OVERALL: 1.5/5 SUMMARY: the whole movie in every aspect is poor quality, except for the ridiculous (but far and few) kills.

This movie is so bad, it's hilarious. It was obviously filmed by a film student on a budget (the credits at the end give special thanks to Discover, Visa, MasterCard and American Express). The cell phones used in the movie are the size of bricks, so this must have been filmed in the early '90s, even though the copyright says 2002.The monster looks like it was a rented Halloween monkey costume covered with slime. The sound and lighting are so bad a camcorder was probably used. Occasionally, the film shifts to the monster's point of view - it looks like the colors are reversed or put in a special filter to show lots of green, red and blue.One of the high school girls is a hot blonde wearing a miniskirt. I was waiting to see her get eaten by the monster (**SPOILER ALERT**) but it eats her boyfriend instead (his remains look like a mask covered with red paint and raw hamburger). The monster won't eat the pretty females (maybe it falls in love with them and is killing off the competition?). The bossy intelligence agency lady certainly has a thing for the monster (the beauty and the beast!) and it tries to communicate with her through growls. When one of her underling robo-cop agents shoots it with an automatic, she gets furious at him for killing it. Or ... is it really dead?The movie is certainly very watchable repeated times in a campy sort of way. I think it could be compared to other so-bad-their-good low-budget movies like Plan 9 From Outer Space, the Blair Witch Project, and FearDotCom.

This movie was lame. I rented it because the picture on the cover looked cool. Don't fall for it. I have a feeling that they spent more money on the cover art than on the actual film. My tv was turned up as loud as it would go and I still couldn't understand most of what the actors said. Somehow, I don't think I missed much. They should have sent their film straight to MSTK3.

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!
