3 people(2 men and a woman) head to a remote, rundown 2 story hose in the woods to cook some meth, then plan on selling it, making the fabled 'Big Score' and heading to the Tropics.

Problems soon arise, however, when it seems the house is not what it seems.

As the days go by, and the meth use continues unabated, the question becomes-is anything REALLY occuring of a supernatural nature, or is it all a result of their growing paranoia?

The film is low budget(3 people and a house), but makes the most out of it with a nice sense of growing claustraphobia.

The performances are spot on as well.

However, the movie drags after a while, and Brad Hunt, as the lead, is so obnoxious, it's tough to take him for extended periods at a time.

The horror elements are really low key, but work well enough, esp. towards the end.

If you dont expect more than a grim study of 3 people with serious drugs habbits, you wont be let down, as this acts far more as a drama than outright horror.

Cookers is an incredible look at the dark side of Meth use. Brad Hunt's performance won "Best Actor" at Screamfest & Calgery Intl. Horror film Fest. Hunt is the actor hollywood has managed to keep secret.
This film never got the theatrical release it deserves. It's a must see!

This is an INTENSE FILM!!!! My first thought was what could be more boring than a movie about some people cooking crystal meth in an abandoned farmhouse. Even if the farmhouse is haunted the film is still going to be about a couple of people getting high and talking. I was right and extremely wrong at the same time. This movie is well directed, well written, and well acted. It's incredible to go down the drug induced road of suspicion and paranoia that the characters in this film go down. This movie is incredible. If you like suspense then do not miss this movie.

This review is coming from someone who used to do meth. The acting in this movie is really good and is the main reason why I liked the movie so much. This movie captivated me, the setting was in a fantasy location for doing what they were there to do, to cook meth. In an old house out in the woods, this guy and his girlfriend set out to make a huge batch of meth and their friend who is a relative newbie helps bring them supplies. Trippy things start to happen as days continue, that lead to a very suspenseful ending. It's no suprise that the film earned best actor as I just learned from reading another review and just the way the movie was done really gave that realistic feel and overall, it was extremely entertaining to me. This movie is better than Spun in my opinion and in my wife's as well who also loved it and who also used to be a tweeker. The actors' behavior and the content in the movie is so much more realistic and genuine to what actual meth users would be like in real life than it is in Spun.
Even if you've never used meth, due to the great acting from all charachters and in my opinion the very entertaining set and setting as well as being well written, I'd have to say that I would really recommend this movie.

I must admit, many drug movies fascinate me and there are very few on crystal meth. This, however, was not primarily a drug abuse movie. It was more of a spooky, scary type (like "The Ring") with a lot of hallucinations. The main character Hector did frighten me sometimes because of his insane anger. That usually upsets me. His girlfriend partner, Dorena, was too hot and sober to be true, most of the time. The outcome was predictable, but overall, I'm glad I bought and watched it. It's a different look into the seedy world of methamphetamine use when compared to "The Salton Sea" and "Spun" (both way better movies than this). If this is what crystal meth does, I never want any part of it.

The movie was terrible, but thats not the sellers fault. Item arrived quickly. Would buy from seller again...
