I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
The Cook is pretty much what I expected for a low-budget movie entertaining but not spectacular. Its appeal would be primarily to high school and college males and females. Technically, it was far better than a lot of low-budgets that I've watched. But what detracted from this movie, in my opinion, was casting the girls as relatively unlikeable either virtual whores or lesbians. How can we be sympathetic with these girls being killed?? The special effects were better than average for a movie of this type, but suspense was mostly lacking after the first girl was slaughtered, cooked, and served. The only suspense was which one would be next and which one(s) would be spared. Oh, and whether the girls would turn on the cook and kill him instead. (Maybe there was more suspense than I thought!) Loved the Lance character....excellent acting without any special dialog! The Cook was also well played but as a director I would have toned down his facial antics just a little. Worth buying - worth watching a 2nd time using slow-mo to watch the killings and the closeups of the kitchen preparations!
I liked the fact that the killing scenes were quite realistic and not overdone. The attacker did a good job of playing warm/friendly, then breaking into his bad role, then the height of his anger. Even though everyone knows from the poster who the bad guy will be, the element of surprise was nevertheless still there as to the method and details. I thought the coeds for the most part pulled off their death roles rather well, considering that they are not accomplished actresses. The meals served at the dining table were convincing, as were the few meat prep scenes in the kitchen. What I liked most were the 2 heads, but thought they would have been more effective if shown a few more seconds. The bit of humor that was included was a nice extra.
I was a bit worried for the first fifteen minutes or so that The Cook wasn't going to deliver. Some of the dialogue at the start is a bit clunky and when I first saw the guy playing the cook I was concerned that he wasn't going to be able to pull it off.As the movie progressed I was very happy to be proved wrong on all fronts and ended up having an awesome time watching this little horror comedy masterpiece. What can I say, I loved it and I'm looking forward to a sequel.If you're hoping to be able to take much of the movie seriously then you're watching the wrong film. This is played strictly for laughs and tongue in cheek at more or less every step. A lot of the humour is very dark, but somehow handled with a light touch.After the slightly shaky start, and once you accept the film for the cheesy fun-fest that it is you can enjoy it's off-the-wall handling and flavour. By the end I had come to think that the team that put it together had an inspired handling and quite a bit of originality going for them.It's not a big budget film, and it's a little shaky at the start, but as a fan of low-budget horror, 80's horror and horror comedy I recommend this film to those of similar tastes.
I've really had some trouble rating this movie. Through the first half hour of the movie I really had a feeling this movie was a complete waste of time. The special effects defied the laws of physics by sucking and blowing at the same time, even for a low budget movie, and the acting, from every angle, was to say the least very questionable. But still... Somehow there was something about it. Maybe it was simply that it didn't try too hard and didn't get too serious about the comedy being the most original ever. Or it could be the fact that it's got some very nice pairs of boobs. It's still unclear to me if it's supposed to be an actual horror movie, just a horror comedy or a comedy on the horror comedy genre. It really could've used a budget boost. If you think you can sit through a low budget horror comedy with a bit of nudity you might like it.
