Starve

Would starvation drive you to kill? Honestly, probably not. The main characters make silly decisions from the get go so it's very hard for the viewer to have any sympathy for them, even when one of them is pregnant. So, them dying isn't a problem, them living so long is. The idea of fighting for food does make good entertainment, but things like CGI blood and giving in so easy makes it corny, considering it's only two crippled red necks running the show.

A horror film where a man stalks and kidnaps people coming through the town only to put them in a desolate community centre. It is unclear how many people are here but they are put in their own cages and slowly over time starved. The story centres on a young couple who are investigating cannibal stories and are soon captured.

Not really a torture porn as the only torture is not giving them food. They are rationed water and sometimes a scrap of food if they earn it. The guy running the operation pits them against each other in fights till the death with a prize consisting of a plate of cold fries or a slice of pizza.

I felt guilty eating nachos while I watched these guys starve. Mediocre film at best. It doesn't really go anywhere we already haven't been. I doubt you'll eat it up.

While Starve had several flaws, what it didn't lack was a group of entertaining actors and a story that, with a little bit of tweaking, could have been very good. I liked the twists they put in it. There were several opportunities missed (could have spent more time on the fight scenes) but overall I enjoyed the movie.

The plot was really good. The execution? Not so much.

Firstly. As I write this, my review is the ONLY real review for this movie. You'll note that the 5 reviews on IMDb are all from people who worked on the film! It's the only review any of them ever write!

The Plot While researching an urban legend on feral children, three friends find themselves trapped in an abandoned high school, where they are confronted with an evil more sinister than the legend itself.

Not so original, right? Right. It's stupid actually. The film is very poorly and cheaply made.

The female lead looks like she has a mustache! All of them are already emaciated as the film begins so where's the drama of "starving?"

The entire script is derivative and uninteresting.

It's starts boring and doesn't get better. The music is horrible.

I cannot underscore how completely bad this movie is. It's a waste of your time to watch it. I wasted my time for you. One hour and 42 minutes wasted.

BTW, one of the phony reviews says there is a lot of blood. I didn't see it. Another lie to get you to rent, buy, whatever. Don't. Stay away.
