Must See Movie...

Let's be realistic.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

It starts as a promising horror movie with some potential, but after about half an hour it drifts of into horror-comedy, featuring some silly situations and funny lines. It's still entertaining, I guess. But in a different way. Instead of tension and suspense you get laughter. The amount of violence is not over the edge. There are some brutal scenes. They are violent enough to be interesting for fans of the genre and short/forgettable enough to be tolerable for the everyone else. A good compromise, if you ask me.However, the funny parts don't last forever and after that the story gets darker again. I mean, they have a child killed and eaten. That's some tough stuff. Not anyone would dare to show it. But for the same reason it feels kind of innovative and "fresh" - so to speak.Sometimes it's the small things and details that make a movie special and I discovered quite a few of them. Like the one time when they stopped at a diner. The woman went to the toilet and laid some paper on the seat before she sat down. You don't see that everyday. So yes, "Starve" felt quite original.The story has some interesting aspects. It's basically about how to break the willpower of people and make them do things to survive. In this case a man catches bypassers on their way through a ghost town, imprisons them and threatens to let them starve unless they kill each other for food.I felt well entertained for most of the time. But since it also had some weak parts in the story and in general lacked tension, I give it 7/10.

Starve is a stylish documentary essentially about healthy eating, but containing an intriguing study into the human culinary psyche.If only healthy foods were on offer would you be prepared to fight to the death for them, or would you rather die than get your hands on a hot dog or burger? Tune into Starve to find out.A trio of Americans including him out of Final Destination 5 are kidnapped by a diet enthusiast - Think Jamie Oliver for adults. Taking a dim view of their junk food fuelled lifestyle, he locks them in a warehouse and watches as his glamorous waitress wife serves them only salad, vegetables and fruit. There is no pulled pork in sight and the nearest Mcdonalds is 400 miles away.Inevitably, there is a twist. Firstly, the original three characters are not alone. The warehouse is teeming with unhealthy eaters yet to improve their diets, some of which have been there for years if not decades. Secondly and perhaps most importantly, the healthy food is only served if the prisoners fight for it first. Action fans are therefore treated to several blood laden duels and psychological battles, all for the prize of a cucumber sandwich.As the dietitian's methods become more extreme, the contestant's desperation grows. By the end, the survivors are battle hardened, traumatised murderers, but outwardly a picture of perfect health. Was it worth it? That's for you to decide, but the message in the film is delivered subtly and without ever patronising the viewer.The true story of Starve is sure to appeal to both documentary and horror fans, and is likely to make you consider swapping that kebab meat pizza for a spinach sandwich, on wholemeal bread

I'd give it 0 stars, but the lowest I can go is 1. Don't believe these "reviews" that are giving it 8 and 9 stars. They are people from the filming, it's obvious. Just look at Mike Koskie who was the first to review it and he's also listed as the production assistant. What kind of production assistant has to give his own films 8 stars, just to build it up? Pathetic, it makes me not want to watch any film he's involved in, just for that alone. I decided to give it a try because there was nothing else on. The plot is OK, but the acting is horrible. The music choice sucked. It's more funny than scary. It shouldn't be listed as horror, it should be comedy. The move made no sense. It was suppose to be about an urban legend about feral cannibal kids, but only 1 kid was in the whole movie, and that was some black girl that ended up getting killed and eaten by an adult man. This was about as scary as Barney, and more boring. I kept getting on my computer because I was so bored with this group of actors and I'm being generous calling them that. If you haven't seen it, don't waste your time. You'll be mad you waste 2 hours of your time. I've seen better acting on Jersey Shore. I was very disappointed with this movie, because it could have been a decent movie, with better actors, better directing and was produced better. It was gory enough, that was the only bright spot.

One of the most thrilling and suspenseful horror movies I have seen yet. Each moment unpredictable. Every corner full of surprises. Kept me on the edge of my seat. And the ending?...Look Out !! I give this movie top ratings. What more can I say? If you like horror thrillers...this is a must see movie for you. There are horror and then there are horror movies, but this one has all the ingredients one Should and Can expect! So, to sum it all up, this movie will not let you down, it will keep you on the edge of your seat where ever you are, especially if you are alone. And as I said before, I give this movie top ratings and I think you will too! So get your popcorn ready, your box will be empty quickly!
