Horrible...Horrible...Horrible..., February 10, 2003
This review is from: Carnivore (DVD)
Carnivore was shot on video, even the DVD has a picture quality of a VHS tape. In fact... was shot on VHS because it sure doesn't even appear to be shot in digital video... The sound is like a raw mix, you can hardly understand the dialogue most of the time. The acting is so bad that it is just that, B-A-D. The creature (looks like a halloween suit with cheap fake fur) and special effects completely fail. This movie even tries to be funny and again it fails. I like low-budet "so bad they're good" horror movies, but this film would bore anyone. This isn't a good "monster movie", it isn't even one of those "so bad it's good" movies. There is not a single thing which is good about Carnivore...P>One last thing to mention, it states that it is Widescreen, Director Commentary, Trailer, Behind The Scenes, etc. It has none of those features it states it has on the back of the DVD box. There are no special features except scene selection, not even a trailer. Very misleading, but i can't imagine anyone wishing to view any additional material for this.

LIARS!!!, August 14, 2003
This review is from: Carnivore (DVD)
I saw this dvd in a $$$ pile at .....The cover looked good so I bought it.It sucked!The picture quality is terrible and the acting is even worse!On the back they say that there is director commentary,a featurette,trailer,subtitles and more,but all they had was scene selection!Just like every other dvd made!The guy characters wear pink and the girls have big hair and look like hookers!The monster is so fake and the props are cheap!There are some cheap scares that we've seen in just about every monster movie.Such as the monster's hand comes through the wall and the monster comes out from behind a corner.You can't even hear what the people are saying!This should not have been made!Don't waste your money!Get Critters or Gremlins insted.

F.Joseph Kurtz and Kenneth Maden owe me 6 bucks.., July 29, 2003
This review is from: Carnivore (DVD)
Words cannot describe the shame with which I look upon the moment when I looked at this 6 dollar DVD at Target and thought "hmm... looks fun...nice glossy packaging..... and look at those features!" Oi. If you are looking into the purchase of this DVD, its a good bet that you like to find a good gory creature thriller, and have likely stumbled across more than a few stinkers. With the exception of TROLL 2, this one is likely to top them all. Not since Troll 2 have I seen a movie this insulting in its ineptness. I say "insulting" because it genuinely felt like the filmmakers were mocking my woefully misguided purchase of the 6 dollar dvd cause it looked cool The only true laugh that you can manage comes at the end, when the creature and the fbi woman have a "bonding" moment. Its so pretentious and utterly laughable that it goes beyond insulting. Truly I was exited about the special featurette, so that perhaps I could have some fun seeing just what the heck they were THINKING when they made this movie. No luck THERE ARE NO SPECIAL FEATURES ON THIS DISC!!!! NONE!!!!! OUTRAGE. The final insult. I want my 6 bucks back. don't even think of wasting yours. This movie isn't worth the space it takes up in your DVD case. I wouldn't give it any stars if I could
