Gnaw

I love British Horror's, and i was really looking forward to this film, but looking at the acting, well, i was disgusted with it. I have not seen such dry acting in a long time until now. The characters were predictable, bland, and most of all annoying. I wish they had better deaths, oh yes, and they were tension and gore free also. The most gore seen was with a pair of pliers and a tongue. The main Villain, wore a creepy hooded cloak, with an animal as a mask type thing (you'll just have to see it) He did look quite creepy i guess. Also what annoyed me with this film, was the final scene, there was no relationship shown between the two cannibals of this movie, and the final scene was way too quick and unsatisfying. They could of done a lot more with this movie, with the characters, the atmosphere and location. It was a real shame. If your after a lot of tension and gore, DO NOT watch this film.

OK, first of all I have to jump in and support the thesis that a huge bunch of comments in this thread are fake or promotional. Gnaw is by all means a below average horror movie that is so damn full of clichés and at times funny in a definitely unintended way. The plot is already paper thin considering we are talking about a movie thats basic idea is a bunch of kids arriving in a house at the countryside that turns out to be inhabited by cannibals. There is not much gore here for a 2009 horror movie and many scenes are pointless to ridiculous like when a guy is strapped to a table and has his tongue removed with pliers while a girl is watching it through a window. This scene is the essence of uninspired and badly edited horror even ending in her bumping in a bucket and alarming the evil cannibal.

I will give the movie that the cinematography is pretty good and visually it delivers what it can't on the story, suspense or gore side. A really large part of the movie works with no dialog at all and considering its so clichéd and lacking any suspense or surprise that sure is a bad idea. The movie doesn't look but surely feels like a film school project gone wrong so don't bother wasting your time on a uninspired and pointless ten thousandth take on the "Cannibal Weirdos in the last house on the right" premise.

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.

i watched this based on the poster and for the fact that i like checking out low budget uk horror films.

its awful, its shot OK but the script feels like the first draft of a script writing student. whoever read it and said to the film makers 'thats good, shoot that' should be shot.

the poor actors have to wander around either spouting meaningless nonsense or obvious exposition, the story hits all the beats that the books teach you to hit when writing a horror film but thats not enough to make a film work. its boring, the characters are all stereotypical to the point of nausea and its only positive point is that the make up fx guy should get some work from it.

avoid, even if its on the TV.

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
