    I liked the beginning

    Seemed to have some promise when it started out, up until the point where the kids were left in the woods (and why the old nutjob left the van with them rather than tossing them out and driving off, no one will ever know). After that, it got pretty boring because there was just too much time between attacks, and I started fast-forwarding to see if there was any decent gore (and there was some). The monster looked like someone dressed in a monster suit, so wasn't particularly scary. For me, the real entertainment I get out of a monster flick is either comedy or gore (or both), and this didn't have enough of either. The ending was kind of funny though (the real ending, not the little scene at the end of the credits)

    Actually ok for what it is

    Its actually pretty good for the genre. Some scenes are just painful but overall with a name like "Young Cannibals" don't expect anything other than its genre.

    Dull Cannibal Horror

    This movie has an interesting premise, but it goes nowhere. The acting is poor and the story is hard to understand for as simple as I think it is supposed to be. At the end of the day, not much happens and not much is scary. Its below average cannibal horror.

    Quite alright for me.

    The Young Cannibals brought a nice premise, a good execution, ok actors/dialogue, overall I was intrigued and had fun with this one. In the woods horrors are quite possibly the easiest ones to make, right there next to zombies, yet this one managed to bring something new to the table. Just a little more that you'd expect, but it made quite the difference.

    So if you're a fan of the genre, don't go in expecting a masterpiece, but be prepared to see more than the usual, a genuine plot that evolves throughout the movie, characters that have more than one layer and...well I wish I could say more about the monster but probably the budget just couldn't cover for a better one.

    Still, it was a pleasant surprise thus I will recommend it.

    Cheers!

    Simple but enjoyable

    Not since Soldiers have I seen a british horror I actually enjoyed but this movie is actually watchable even if it doesn't sit you on the edge of your seach.It's a basic monster in the woods vs young campers thing but it was well acted,the monster is well done and is all up an enjoyable film,definatly worth a watch.
