4.0 out of 5 stars Less of a Thrill than a Shock!, October 5, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Starved [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This was a shocking study of human torture, beautifly played by newcomer Leeanne Beaman. What starts out as a typical made for T.V. true story turns into this horrifing character study which leaves you feeling unsafe and distraught. Leeanne plays a doe eyed girl who meets her potential boyfriend at a party. After feeding her with compliments and food, he drugs her and chains her up like an animal then stops feeding her. It's not clear what his motive is for this action, but it is clear the filmmakers don't want you to know. They want you to watch her, and want becomes of her and it is horrible. The make up effects are so real I found myself looking away from the screen. This isn't the kind of film you'd say "I loved it!" But it will keep you thinking and talking about it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very engrossing and scary, May 30, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Starved [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Although the production was low, I thought this film very entertaining. A woman is not only starved of food but her very identity! It's a film which keeps you thinking. In this MTV paced world, with it's "Hollywood" type stories, this film provides a viewer with an intimate look at the horrors of dying slowly at the hands of a maniac. Lee Anne Beaman's performance is excellent as the victim and her friend played by Toni Zobel is very good.

2.0 out of 5 stars I was hoping for soooo much more!, June 3, 2008

By 

SmilingFeet (San Jose, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Starved (DVD)

Although I gave this film 2 stars and didn't like it as a whole, it did have some interesting moments. I think that if the director didn't include the B-storyline of the friend looking for Monica, it would've been a better film. The acting was pretty bad on that side of things.

I would've liked the film to have focused on the dynamics between the man and Monica. I will also say that the ending was a little abrupt for me. I know this film was "based on true events", which makes it pretty tragic. But what I found more tragic is that the story wasn't presented to the viewer better.
