Gnaw

the fact that it was a cast of unknowns didn't help it rise above 'budget horror flick' as the acting throughout was hammed and even the old lady Mrs Obadiah managed to be completely unbelievable.

the cinematography stumbled from one horror cliché to the next doing almost nothing original and failing to create any atmosphere or tension.

the gore was weak. the plot was shoddy. the music wasn't great.

overall a terrible flick with no redeeming features that I can think of.

couldn't recommend this film to anyone

Gnaw otherwise known as Cannibal Kitchen was pretty much doomed from the start for me. For a start it's UK cinema and I don't have the habit of enjoying British stuff very often, second it's cannibal themed and thats a sub-genre I rarely appreciate.

It tells the usual story of a group of 20 somethings who go away together for a weekend of debauchery only to run foul of a psychotic butcher who turns his victims into meals.

The most alarming thing here is the lack of originality. People turn up, get picked off one by one, screaming, stabbing and the obligatory final girl type character. We've seen it so many times that any aspiring filmmaker should surely think twice before releasing such generic garbage like Gnaw.

It has nothing going for it at all. It had one single "Twist" which I predicted within the first quarter of the film. It's just so paint by numbers it made my head hurt.

If you aren't going to try then why even make the movie?

The Good:

Nope

The Bad:

Devoid of originality

Predictible nonsense

A small observation about the merits of this film and these reviews.....

ALL FIVE of the preceding posts are from single posting members (in the UK)and were all posted within two weeks of each other.

What? Did a memo go out to the entire movie cast to post positive reviews on IMDb?

Did someone really "like this film so much that she saw it several times and recommended it to several of her friends"?

Night of the living dead it ain't

For shame.

Pretty boring horror.

• Little to no atmosphere - No background story whatsoever - Useless mask on killer - Very unoriginal - No/crappy music

The acting was not bad and the film quality was great.. Just wish they had done something worthwhile with it..

I love horror movies, especially ones about serial killers and cannibals, but sadly there are not a lot out there that are any good. I fell for the "rave reviews" about this movie, I have to say they did a pretty good job marketing it. And it doesn't look like a crappy camcorder movie either, it actually looks like a quality movie.. Sadly there's nothing special about this and all in all it's just boring. Sorry for you actors and filmmakers, but I have to advice people to not waste time on this movie.

All the UK reviews are fake.

This was a horrible movie. As someone pointed out earlier, the cinematography was good, which makes it even more baffling that absolutely no effort was put into making this movie scary. This movie had no sense of timing for horror because I wasn't scared, or even startled once. In addition, the plot as well as every single character was over the top cliché. The movie progresses incredibly slowly and nothing really develops. I will admit that the the acting was not at all bad. If the actors had anything resembling a real script to follow then this might have turned out OK. All in all its an absolute waste of time and inspired me to make an IMDb account and post my first review ever. I'm also not sure why this is listed as a comedy.
