Watch Carnivore For Free

Best movie of this year hands down!

Highly Overrated But Still Good

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

A savage and predatory hairy humanoid creature that's the result of a government experiment gone awry escapes from a lab located in the basement of an old dilapidated house. Naturally, two teenage couples decide to check out said rundown abode. Guess what happens next? Boy, does this dreadful bilge strike out something rotten in every possible way: Clumsy (mis)direction that allows the dull, uneventful, and meandering narrative to unfold at a painfully sluggish pace and fails to generate any much-needed tension, momentum, and creepy atmosphere, infrequent and poorly staged monster attack scenes, a drab and talky script that gets bogged down in way too much tedious chitchat, tacky gore, plain cinematography(the cheesy monster POV shots in particular are pretty sad), groan-inducing attempts at dumb humor (the two inept comic relief federal agents are especially pathetic), obnoxious and unlikable characters, a generic hum'n'shiver synthesizer score, a laughably lousy rubbery-looking beast, uniformly cruddy acting from a lame no-name cast (top thespic dishonors go to Jill Adcock as the bitchy Dana Anderson and Randy Craig as the doltish Sheriff Marty Holt), and, worst of all, a dismal and dissatisfying "it ain't over yet!" sequel set-up non-ending. On the plus side, Pamela Anderson shows some decent boobage and at a mere 80 minutes it's mercifully short, but that's about it. A real dud.

"Carnivore" is a really bad creature that has some decent moments.**SPOILERS**While working on an experiment, a creature escapes from it's cage and escapes into the house above ground. Assigned to keep the creature from escaping, Dana Anderson, (Jill Adcock) is sent to the house, and heads over to the house. The local teens in the town, Scott, (John Jacob) his friend Marc, (Jeff Swan) his girlfriend Bobbi, (Lori Johnson) and her sister Dee, (Pamela Thompson) decide to go to the house for a fun weekend away, and are soon confronted with the creature. When Dana arrives with back-up, they try to stop the creature from escaping.The Good News: This isn't all that great, but there is some nice moments here and there. The monster is nicely played as a rubber suit with no traces of CGI anywhere, and it gives a real impact when it's on-screen. There's not a whole lot of scenes where it looks realistic, but the non-CGI is a plus. There is a lot of havoc created late in the film, with several scenes being quite memorable. The moment where it throws a pile of organs at a character after disemboweling someone right in front of them a moment before is quite nice in it's exploitation sensibilities, as it follows the most brutal killing in the film and is played out nicely. Another rather amusing kill scene is a spiked board in the face that begins to bleed heavily that looks really nice and gory. With some nice suspense worked out in the end and a really impressive jump that works, that's about all for the decent moments.The Bad News: This is a really disappointing film, and it's centered on several reasons. The fact that it so rarely makes any sense is a major crime. The science used to explain the creature and it's existence in the beginning is full of pseudo-scientific ranting that has hardly any bearing on any real scientific reasoning. The fact that hardly anything is explained in a satisfactory manner is a constant distraction, as nothing at all makes any sense. The other big problem is that there is a ton of scenes that stretch it out, yet the film has no reason to be like that. That's really disappointing, when a film feels stretched out when it's so short to begin with. It barely lasts an hour, and most of that is wasted by useless wandering around the house. The beginning is also very padded out, and that mostly leaves this being a really boring experience. There's more here to hate about the film, but it would take too long to list them all.The Final Verdict: A really slow and padded out film that really didn't see the need for it and is saved from total mediocrity by having a couple of nice gore shots along the way. However, this is still a really bad film and is really only for those that enjoy the worst of the worst.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language and Nudity

okay, all you need to know is this movie was filmed in late 1988-1991, it was in production from 91-00 before it was finally released... yes, this IS a B movie, and anyone who is a fan should have to see it. because this breaks through in independent filming ,great special effects, very low budget, yet still mildly entertaining, i'd say better than most new horror films, the only reason it's corny is cause it WAS actually filmed like 17 years ago! still, for it's time, very well done, and from just average people trying to make a swing, good plot, good acting, nice effects, not a typical horror film about vampires either. a movie with a lot of feeling and effort and that's what made it absolutely astonishing! this did not bore me one bit, did not have any cheesy one liners, slightly humorous, good wardrobe and props and acceptable acting for sure. best B movie i've seen in a very long time.

With an unknown cast of actors, terrible sound quality and even worse picture quality, and a plastic monster probably stolen from someone's house one halloween night... it's a miracle this pile of garbage was even released. It had the right idea for a horror movie; have a pretty slack story, so to make more room for scares. but... the plot in this movie is in its own category of garbage, being a mix of the classic teens-enter-the-haunted-house-and-bad-stuff-happens idea, and some retarded sci-fi crap that just plain doesn't fit. and well... the movie also lacks as a horror for the very poor, even more predictable, and incredibly few, scares. the puppet-like monster is to slow to make it a jumpy movie.*spoilers after this point*The story: a mansion is used by the government to contain a research lab of high importance for developing a new type of creature to be used by the military. something goes wrong (naturally), and the creature is free to roam the whole house (prior to was contained in the basement). some teens decide to check out this 'haunted house' and for about 45 minutes, nothing happens to them. it is very dull, slow, and unsuspenseful. not to mention, the FBI (i think?) and some local police slowly make their way to the house, where their exciting journey (driving a car on the road) is shown for probably 15 or 20 minutes in total in the movie. it's just pointless!!the Good points: the kills. hahahahaha if you enjoy low budget, hilarious, overdone gory kills, then this is your movie. if anything saved the movie at all, it was the 3 or so people that died. i could not believe how hilarious the kills were. they were just so unbelievable. (made all the better by the fact that every other part of the movie is so boring; i didn't expect them to be so entertaining).OVERALL: 1.5/5 SUMMARY: the whole movie in every aspect is poor quality, except for the ridiculous (but far and few) kills.
