It's very cheesy and very dumb for sure, with a couple of takes to the camera, but I still thoroughly enjoyed it. There's some creative gore and nice nudity that didn't just amount to a stabbing and a flash. You've got total dismemberment and skin pulling off the face leaving the skeleton and along with nudity some rubbing and sucking. That's not standard horror fair.
I found Carnivore to be a time capsule to the end of the 80's and above my expectations. This is a bottom of the barrel indie flix, but they put together a monster suit that's not just store bought, designed a lab and built a haunted house from scratch. This is some inventive indie film making.
I'd ultimately rank this a step below mediocre, it's much more entertaining then a lot of other garbage out there like Hobgoblins or anything by the Polonia Brothers. If you give this flix a score of 1 I don't think you were being very realistic with your expectations. All it really needs is a few more kills to make it really decent.

A short animated film which is difficult to put into words. Well, no it isn't. It's quite simple really: "FUNNY AS HELL!"
A masterful work which spoofs the animation industry and the commercial industry with such bizarre class, it's truly an amazing work. The short captures a perfect balance by going completely over the top.
The short was to be featured on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim (ads were even shown up to a week before it's air date), but the short lived up to it's title by being pulled at the last moment because of the words "Sweet Jesus," but rumored to be just an excuse since the heads just didn't get it.
Hopefully this comment will quickly become outdated with the airing of 'Rejected.' Buy the DVD(s), and prove a lot of network heads wrong.

Review of the reissue with William S. Burroughs' narration.
Although this film uses powerful imagery, advanced camera and special effects, it's far to sarcastic for the audience's good. The film at first points out the rather flawed beliefs of early science, but then goes on to portray witch hunts in a rather sarcastic manner, which tells the audience in a dry tone all the "good" the clergy's doing. I sat through, knowing at least the narrator (Burroughs) can't believe this to be true in real life, at was satisfied at the end with conclusions on how so many were falsely accused of witchcraft. Although today, any one who's going to pick up this film will already know enough not to fall into the trap of cheering on the Catholic church of the witch hunts, when it was first released it wasn't uncommon for audience members to walk in and out of theaters and would entirely miss the whole point of the movie. I doubt the public was that ignorant to fall head first, or would easily become bored enough to walk out of such a daring film, but anyone who should have see in for the truth would have been miles away from the film to begin with. It was either preaching to the already converted, or fell upon the death ears of those who wanted a satanic peep show. And although it's findings may have been on the top of it's game at the time, such research has crossed mountains since.
It's a film which will fall flat with it's presentation as a documentary, any documentary which was 80 years old would, but will dwell on your mind as it takes such a risky exploration into the occult. As a milestone in history of film it will not disappoint, but as an exploration into witchcraft and the occult it only scratches the surfaces.
