Editorial Reviews

Nina (Jaime Winstone), a troubled teen, is fixed on an uninterrupted feast of destruction when she’s forced to confront her immortality and twisted blood lust. Trapped between light and dark, psychosis and reality, the living and the dead, she’ll stop at nothing to satiate her CRAVINGS. Every addiction has a price, and usually it’s the cost of a life. Her price will be life too…but never her own.

4.0 out of 5 stars WORTH A LOOK, August 1, 2010

By 

Mike Silverman (Milford, MA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cravings (DVD)

This is a sick little movie. It's not a vampire flick, but it is about some seriously disturbed people, some of whom have a demented addiction to the taste of blood.

A psychiatrist who has recently faced the suicide of his wife and the accidental death of his mother, tries to overcome his deep grief by resuming his activities as a psychiatrist at a local hospital. He is assigned to the case of a teenage girl who has been cutting herself. Turns out she's not only cutting herself, but others as well, and drinking the resulting blood.

The psychiatrist eventually gets involved intimately with the girl's attractive widowed mother, which turns out to be a bad idea.

The progression of the movie wanders a bit, there is a suggestion that the psychiatrist is being haunted by the presence of his desceased wife..., the bathtub she died in keeps mysteriously filling itself up every night. But this part of the movie never fleshes out and is sort of left hanging at the end.

I was not satisfied with the ending, but.., you might be. It's a matter of taste, but it was a sufficiently disturbing ending to make it fit in with the whole disturbing theme of the movie.

The movie kept my interest up to the very end, and so I have to recommend it as worth watching.

5.0 out of 5 stars Daddy's Girl (Cravings), July 4, 2010

By

This review is from: Cravings (Amazon Instant Video)

I almost didn't watch this film because of the over-abundance of ridiculous Vampire movies, shows, novels, and all else which have flooded the market within the past few months. Personally, I'm sick to death of the entire genre and what they have done to the traditional folklore reguarding Vampires. Yet, it was highly recommended that I ignore the deceptive cover art and watch this particular film. And, I must say that I was not disappointed in the least. The whole product was excellent. The cast, their acting abilities, the story, the realistic quslity of the effects, etc. Wonderful film. Now, I highly recommend that you watch this film.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Fangless Gem, October 4, 2010

By 

Brian Harris "WildsideCinema" (United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cravings (DVD)

Released overseas as Daddy's Girl, I'd been waiting for this to hit the states for quite some time now. Unfortunately for me, Lionsgate acquired it, re-titled it and slapped on some idiotic vampire artwork, completely misrepresenting the concept. Is it a vampire film? Not in the traditional sense, no. Cravings falls more in line with a films like Wisdom of Crocodiles or White Skin, vampire cinema without fangs. That doesn't mean Cravings doesn't have its share of bloodsucking, it does, just don't expect to see the usual anemic, tortured romance filled with bisexuality and phallic symbolism.

Cravings is definitely a quiet, chilling little low-budget horror thriller that takes its time telling a story and all the actors involved did a fantastic job of bringing the concept to life, especially Jaime Winstone (KIDulthood) who could very well be the next Angela Bettis; she's got this odd, childlike beauty that draws you in. Expect to see more of her as time goes on; she's already been prominently featured in thriller Donkey Punch as well as the Brit TV zombie series, DEAD SET.

Being a fan of strange, unique little films like this, I actually plan to purchase this. I hate what Lionsgate have done to this indie gem but it's the film that counts and Cravings is a decent film. It's not all that scary but there are some truly disturbing things to behold here including a horrific, gag-inducing blender sequence and an unforgettable finale that I will always remember as, "The Human Juice Box" sequence. Evans has done a great job of making an interesting, original and thought-provoking film, it's a shame horror fans will be turned off by Lionsgate's "genius" marketing. Don't let the crapped up artwork and title fool you folks, a low key horror treat awaits you inside.
