Rating: Summary: The coolest part about this movie is the cover! Review: And that is where it ends. Save your dollars!
Rating: Summary: To horrible for words.. Review: Bad sound, bad lighting, bad acting, worse "special" effects. This is a crime to put this "movie", some idiot's home made film, on DVD no less.. Not even worth it if you find it in some discount bin for a buck.
Rating: Summary: umm terrible Review: cannot believe some of these reviewers and their excuses. and sick of the low budget excuse. there's so many low budget movies that make it work and this is definitely NOT one of them!! the sound in this movie is by far the worst of any DVD. you constantly have to mess with the volume to hear anything, terrible! movie is so predictable and unamusing! creature is just pure laughable. another movie with a cool looking cover that is easily one of the worst horror movies of all time. anybody that gives this movie more than one star must have been involved in the making of this movie.
Rating: Summary: Horrible...Horrible...Horrible... Review: 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.
Rating: Summary: 6.00 At Its Best Review: How can anyone bash this movie? For the price it is a good flick. I mean you can tell by the cover it isnt a block buster, anyone who loves all of those horrible snake attack movies and classic science fiction movies will enjoy this FOR WHAT IT IS. Its fun, and the greatest part is that you can laugh out loud at the special effects...20 years from now this will be a Mystery Science Theatre 3000 candidate!
Rating: Summary: CARNISNORE Review: I have to comment on the review by the director's brother. While I can understand your defense of your brother, it still doesn't make this a good movie. If there was a lot of hard work that went into this bomb, it certainly doesn't show. Not one of the "actors" should have even been put on screen; the effects are entirely laughable; the sound and lighting are so far beyond professional standards, I don't see how a studio could have released such a horribly made movie. So Mr. Kurtz, pat your brother on the back, but don't think the rest of the world can sympathize with such lack of talent in film-making. Obviously, this is one horror movie to avoid.
Rating: Summary: LIARS!!! Review: 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.
Rating: Summary: Stupid Stupid Stupid Review: It goes beyond words how stupid this movie is. I enjoy scary movies and even the bargin ben ones.But this goes far below any bargin ben movie.Amazing special features NONE!!! There are no special features exept scene acess.The movie itself sucked beyond any comperison. It makes Bambi look like a terrifying heart pounding movie. The horrible acting, lame effects, pathetic music,the furry little monster who looks like a hampster on steriods and oh god the horrible cliche storyline as well as every cheap monster cliche trick possible.Such as the creatures hand grabs hold of acorner and it's head slowly apears around the wall or it leaps at the camra just to suck every last thrill into the movie. That is possible the scariest part of the movie. And finnaly if you want a comedy or an example of a bad horrer film here it is.
Rating: Summary: The worst movie on God's green and blue earth Review: my little brother laughs at this piece of s*** of a movie. Everytime he watches it. If you gave this move something above a 2 then either you played on the movie. Or you been smoking that Blue berry yum yum, that's being for real. The movie is about four or five teenagers going into a house that has a monster in it. and the government wants to stop this monster that is in the house or some stupid s***. It's just a stupid story line. And when the movie starts you can't help but laugh at the level of dumb a**. Anyway they must have paid the actors $20 each to do this movie. Because none of them could act it was just a bad movie. I thought Jason X was the worst scary movie I every seen until I waste 81 mins of my life watching this garbage.
Unless you want to waste 81 mins of your life away don't watch this.
Rating: Summary: From the Brother of F. Joseph Kurtz Review: Okay folks, I felt it was time to put my two cents in. I understand some of you being upset about this movie, but there are some circumstances that you must know. The first thing is that this movie was originally released by MTI Home Video which did the cover art and included all of the extras. When MTI sold the distribution rights to 20th Century, MTI neglected to contact my brother and Ken Mader to also include the extras. 20th Century in all their (not so great) wisdom released the movie without the extras, but never changed the box art. For those people that wanted the extras, you should go to 20th Century and give them your mind!
Now, as for the movie; I was obviously very close to the making of this movie, but not directly involved. I know how much dedication my brother and Mader and all the others put into this. I give it a solid 3 rating because of my knowledge of the movie. This movie having been created by my brother is a part of me. The indoor scenes were shot in my brothers basement and the set work, I thought, was amazing for some amateurs! The spooky house was none other than our parents house and so it is with great pleasure that I watch this movie. Not the best, but something I can appreciate and something the my family appreciates.
The making of this movie also helped me in more ways than I had expected. I now like to buy movies in those Walmart bins and the more obscure, the better. I enjoy some of the worst movies, because I remember the time and effort my brother and Mader put into theirs and so I feel a sense of dedication to the many others that are trying to do the same. I refuse to knock the other "bad" movies, made by small-town people that are just trying to "break through" and be recognized. I will, however, knock the big budget, big studio, big actor junk movies.
Thanks,
David L. Kurtz
