Starved

Rating:
Summary: Very engrossing and scary
Review: 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.

Summary: starved for production quality, script, and talent
Review: This dismal low-budget film about a woman who gets chained in a basement and starved to death by her date has nothing whatsoever so offer. It's not even worth viewing for kitsch value.

Summary: Less of a Thrill than a Shock!
Review: 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.
