In need of some good old-fashioned gore? You'll find it by the bucketload in the low-budget monsterfest Feast, which arrives on DVD in an even bloodier unrated edition. The winning entry in the third season of Ben Affleck and Matt Damon's reality series/talent contest Project Greenlight (Wes Craven is also on board as an advisor/producer), Feast is a wall-to-wall splatterthon that operates on an agreeably simple premise: A crew of motley characters is trapped in a remote location (in this case, a desert bar) by ravenous, flesh-eating monsters (here, a quartet of toothy and astoundingly fecund humanoids). The result? Lots of gruesome deaths and plenty of manic action, delivered with kinetic style by first-time feature director John Gulager. Not everything about Feast works--Gulager's drive is thwarted by the unfocused script, which favors smarmy dialogue over substance--but the effects are impressive, given the film's price tag, and the cast is incredibly game for the gory goings-on, with Krista Allen (Entourage), Judah Friedlander (30 Rock), Balthazar Getty (Alias), and Gulager's father, veteran actor Clu Gulager, among the stand-outs. The DVD includes a smattering of outtakes and deleted scenes (including an alternate ending); commentary by Gulager, the screenwriters, and two of the film's numerous producers; and a making-of featurette, which Project Greenlight viewers should find interesting solely for producers Chris Moore and Michael Leahy's attitudes towards Gulager (both were a hair's breath away from firing him throughout the production, but here, amusingly suggest unconditional support). -- Paul Gaita

Description

Above average sci-fi horror comedy.......2007-07-05

Feast is an enjoyable sci-fi horror comedy romp. It is especially enjoyable considering the extremely low budget and use of a first-time director. The film features plenty of gore and a few funny lines. In addition, there are several babes to look at, inc. the gorgeous Krista Allen.

I'm not a big fan of all the super quick editing, but that is a popular trend, unfortunately.

A real good genre film that looks nice on HD DVD. The alternate audio lacks very much in the way of interesting insights about the film -- mostly there are like 5 guys being silly and joking around. The extras do feature some interesting clips about the competition that led to this film.

good fast pasced fun, .......2007-06-18

This one didnt spend much time on the big screen but is a great one for your collection.. gets off to a fast start, similar to Dusk till Dawn, but more realistic..set in a bar, you never get tired of being there due to good acting and quick witted dialog.

Great B Horror flick.......2007-06-17

This horror film has both the "scarey" and the "humorous" mixed all into one. What I found most funny is the monster's babies mate and then they eat what they have mated with. I just about fell off my chair laughing at this one. It also has a very scarey side and the feeling of being "trapped" in this film. Yes, there is alot of gore, the monsters look very good and the acting was excellent for this B horror flick. I recommend anyone that loves horror movies with a little humor.

Wow, pretty damn good!.......2007-06-12

Funny, gorey as hell with beautiful women and non stop action! Worth the buy, difinetly one to see again.

Underrated horror movie.......2007-05-23

I was pleasantly surprised by "Feast." After seeing a few episodes of "Project Greenlight," I expected this movie to be a mess. But it succeeds as an enthusiastic horror movie despite (or perhaps because of) the severe lack of money and time available, and the constant presence of "Project Greenlight" camera crews. Gulager put together a product that is definitely a B movie, but one that's head and shoulders above much higher-budgeted studio horror fare. It helps that the script, while imperfect, has some great moments, and that the actors are generally at least competent.

One real virtue of "Feast" is that it just keeps moving. At 85 minutes, you don't have time to stop and think about the plot holes too much. It's a rocket on rails from start to finish. One way "Feast" keeps moving is the unique way in which we "meet the meat." Some viewers will hate it. I liked it, myself; but that's purely a matter of taste. The first few minutes are entertaining and get a lot of the exposition out of the way fast.

"Feast" is at least worth a rent by horror fans.

what a really good re-make..........2007-04-22

this was actually a really good re-make of the original. i'm pretty sure you will recognize the black guy from the original movie. they stay pretty much to the same script as the original but you'll want to see it anyway just to see what else happens.
if you are a "BABYLON 5" fan like i am you might recognize on of the cast members in the movie. i haven't seen it in quite sometime and i just recently ordered it from amazon. i'm looking forward to seeing it again.
"They are coming to get you, BARBARA!!"... the movie that started all the zombie movies ever to come. if you want to see also another good one, the idea for this movie came from another movie with Vincent Price called "THE LAST MAN ON EARTH".
it also deserves a viewing if you are a ZOMBIE fan like me! for anyone who hasn't seen even the original movie of "NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD" where have you been?? rotting in a coffin or something??
enjoy!

A worthy remake that entertained me from start to finish. A solid popcorn movie........2007-04-21

I loved the original movie and this version isn't half-bad. I don't think it's worth commenting on what actually happens in the movie. If you have seen or read about the original Night of the Living Dead you know, more or less, what happens.

It cleans up the visual and audio problems of the original. There is less wooden acting. Let's not forget that the 1969 version was, afterall, made by amateurs. Also, this version has some nice twists to it and there is some subtle humor. What happens to the snaky "Cooper" at the end of the movie will have you roaring with laughter.

What prevents this from being a "great" film is that it follows the original too closely and there are a few moments where the story doesn't seem to unfold naturally because it's trying to hard to be consistent with the 1969 one. But, like I say, some things happen slightly differently. Perhaps the biggest change from the original is that "Barbara" is no longer a helpless female in need of protection from the men. By the film's end, she reminded me of the heroine Sigorney Weaver from the Alien series. She's a natural zombie killer!

I'm giving it 4 and 1/2 stars only because there's no way it deserves to be on par with the original which gets 5 stars. Still, it's a very entertaining movie and I highly recommend that horror fans get it.

Gran tributo a la original "Noche de los muertos vivientes" .......2007-04-11

Esta versión de Tom Savini es por lo menos igual de buena que la original de Romero (1968). La trama es virtualmente la misma: varias personas atrapadas en una casa por un ejército de zombies.Los zombies son escalofriantemente superiores a los originales, y se ha acentuado el gore en la acción. La heroína tiene un papel mas activo y deja de ser la muchacha desvalida y gritona de la primera.Tony Todd esta excelente como el lider del grupo.Y se mantiene oscuro el origen de tal levantamiento de los muertos.El mensaje es el mismo tanto en el film de Romero como en el remake de Savini: la fragilidad de nuestra civilización, que en un momento de locura, solo atinamos a escondernos y atacarnos entre nosotros.Los extras son interesantes tambien. Muy recomendable para cualquier amante del terror e impresindible para los zombimaniáticos.

Same Idea, Different "Night" ..........2007-04-09

Romero fans, be prepared for a few radical changes ... hopefully you can view them as reflective of a new era and not as an assault on the 1968 original (that Romero was an executive producer and had a hand in revising the script should help)!!

No longer is Barbara the catatonic, ineffectual "zombie" that she was in the 1968 version: now she has a riffle and a meat tenderizer ... and she knows how to use them BOTH!! Other alterations abound! (I am omitting the juicy stuff so as not to spoil your discovery!!) For instance, as Johnnie (as spelled at IMDB) and Barbara approach the cemetery, it is revealed that the siblings' mother is dead ... not the father. Why is this interesting? As explained in Tony Williams text The Cinema of George A. Romero: Knight of the Living Dead, "[the original deals with] domination and possession on many levels. An unseen mother manipulates Johnny and Barbara into performing a ritual neither of them shows any real feeling for" (22). A curious alteration since it is the focus of much speculation! What does this reveal about the current roles of mothers and fathers?

As a zombie fan, you probably enjoy all the minutia as much as I ... especially when it involves social commentary. Therefore, you will enjoy the commentary on modern "craftsmanship" in this version. When Ben realizes that the old farmhouse is being remodeled, he despairs. Tommy is perplexed until Ben easily puts his fist through the new door ... so poorly made. Only by retrieving the old "ugly" doors can the enclave proper steel themselves against the "zed word." Very clever!! It's a small but fun detail:D And, seriously, hearing the line "Yeah, they're dead, they're all messed up" once again ... well, that's just priceless!!

While all the acting is excellent, Tony Todd is a shining star ... not too many actors could succeed in bringing the original role "new life," but Todd does so with zest. He has easily earned his status as a horror-film icon!! (The "Final Destination," trilogy, the "Candyman" trilogy, "Wishmaster," "X-Files," etc... EPIC ACTOR!!)

A note on a minor coincidence that only a horror-enthusiast can appreciate: at 11:44 minutes watch for Tony Todd (Ben) to emerge from the car with a crow-bar. An extreme close-up of the crow-bar in his hand looks like a giant hook ... a la Tony Todd's role in "Candyman." Yes, I know Rose's "Candyman" was released in 1992 and this was released in 1990 ... like I said, it's just a neat coincidence;)

Watch this film if you love zombies, want to be a zombie, have a friend who is a zombie, or are interested in zombie-rights.

Enjoyable - Just don't take too seriously.......2007-04-04

I suppose it's all been said, but I'll give it a shot. :)

First, the (decidedly amateur) comments:

Having seen all the Romero flicks and enjoyed the Dawn of the Dead remake, I would have to place this movie somewhere beneath these previous flicks. The makeup effects I can't fault; much better than the original. But, of course, effects do not a great movie make. The acting was all right for the most part, but a bit stilted at times; I think the leading lady was trying too hard to be rough and tough. I much prefer the efforts of someone like Sigourney Weaver, who managed to maintain her character's humanity realistically through the "crisis moments."

Okay, enough bellyaching. All in all, I'm still glad I bought this movie; I freely admit to being a zombie fan, so I guess you should take that into account. I see it as a fond "tip of the hat" to the master. It follows, for the most part, the tried and true formula of the original script; a true remake, I think, rather than a "reimagining," which puts it in a different class than the new "Dawn." I guess this is mostly what I'd expect Romero to try out if he had it in mind to "do it over again." I just think he'd do it better, that's all.

If you like the "Dead" films, do try it out. At the very least, it will inspire you to revisit the classic and see it in a new way. Just try not to over-analyze it; not much social commentary here beyond the most basic.

Thanks for reading my ramblings. ;)

Allowing for all the low-budget shortcomings that plague any straight-to-video production, Starship Troopers 2: Hero of the Federation serves up 92 minutes of passable sci-fi action. Parlaying his veteran status as an animator, special-effects wizard, and stalwart survivor of the CGI revolution, Phil Tippett (with returning screenwriter Ed Neumeier) makes a woefully uninspired directorial debut with this makeshift sequel to Paul Verhoeven's 1997 blockbuster, retaining the jarhead militarism of Robert Heinlein's original novel while serving up more bugs, an all-new cast of attractive young stars, and all-too-familiar plot elements borrowed from a dozen better movies. "Bigger is better" is out of the question under such meager budgetary circumstances, so Tippett and Neumeier compensate with gruesome bugfights and gross-out effects at regular intervals, some standard-issue nudity, and escalating paranoia (echoing Carpenter's The Thing) when a new breed of bugs use human hosts (à la The Hidden) to overtake a stranded platoon of Federation soldiers on a bug-infested planet. Relying on murky confinement to hide nondescript sets, Troopers 2 has three engaging leads in its favor: TV regular Richard Burgi is solidly cast as the titular hero (he's the military equivalent of Pitch Black's Riddick); Colleen Porch is engaging as the most sensible Federation survivor; and screen veteran Ed Lauter makes the most of his salty role as a battle-hardened general. Unfortunately, they're adrift in a knock-off sequel (shot on high-def digital video) that could never do justice to its energetic predecessor. --Jeff Shannon

Starship Trooper2 (DVD)

The Federation's best Mobile Infantry (MI) is back into action.This time the Bugs are waiting for them with a new type of Bug.

It's easy to see how John Ringo modified the Mobile InIantry outfit into an even better Amored Combat Suit (ACS)in his (Posleen War Series #1) Hymn Before Battle. Actually Ring rstored some of what Hollywood took away from the book. Ringo `s Posleen's blood is yellow, the Bugs' blood is green. Both come at you in uncountable hordes. Maybe it is a metaphor for Radical Islamic Terrorist, you just have to kill them faster than they can reproduce.

It is my understanding that Tom Kratman has a new series coming out that is loosely based on Heinlein's Starship Trooper called Carnifex, oh goody, I've pre-ordered my copy hve you?!

I guess all good Science Fiction is based on the shoulders of the Giants. I wonder where Heinlein got his ideas? E. E. Smith?

Anyhow this movie is a cross between Starship Trooper and Aliens. Not as good As either. Sort of a cheap sequel wriiten by a Stephen King type.

Gunner July, 2007

underappriciated.......2007-06-16

Most people did not like the sequal to Starship Troopers but i think it really makes sense, i mean, the first film was and action horror and the second is just plain psychological horror. its really re-invents the series and its based on another Robert A. Heinlein Book "Puppet Masters". so if you expect to see the sequal to be like the original, you will be dissapointed, but if you just see it as another horror movie, you will surely enjoy it.

Just Comments.......2007-05-18

This is one of my favorites movies, resolution is very good, and quality of product is excellent (Zero Damage).

The bad point is that in Amazon.com there's not info of languages for this item, so I'm from El Salvador and it doesn't have Spanish Subtitles.

In overview this was a great purchase.

negative 92 stars.......2007-04-23

If I could I would give this movie -92 stars, for each minute of my life I wasted on it. Such a disappointment for fans of the original Starship Troopers. It pretty much comes down to being a bad slasher movie. The only decent special effects scene was RECYCLED from the first Starship Troopers. The first scene in the movie is comical it is so bad. For fans of the first Starship Troopers who are curious about this movie I'm saving you the suspense and valuable hour and a half of your life.

This sequal was just ok.......2007-03-12

I watched the ST1 and loved it. I thought, how bad can a sequal be? Ok, this was an ok sequal. It wasn't that exciting nor was it just plain bad. It is worth a watch, but keep your expectations down to nothing and come up from there. The casting wasn't that bad, the special effects were not that bad either. It was just a plain boring story. See it for yourself and make your own decisions.

A good monster movie.......2007-04-04

"It Waits" begins with a group exploring a cave and unleashing the titular "It," which promptly kills them all (off screen). Fast forward a bit, and we meet Forest Ranger Danielle St. Claire (Cerina Vincent), who is the sole tenant of a Ranger station deep in the forest. Having survived a car accident that killed her friend, Danielle is trying to find solace in the bottle to assuage the guilt that she feels because she was the one driving. Her boyfriend arrives, and Danielle confesses her role in the accident to him. Before the night is over, though, the tower is attacked by an unseen creature that destroys the sole transportation from the tower, a Jeep, and sabotages the communications. Before long, the creature kills two campers and turns its attention to Danielle and her boyfriend.

This film is hard to assess. On the negative side, it is entirely predictable, so much so that I felt as if I had the script in hand and were reading ten pages ahead. The disparate aspects of the plot (i.e., Danielle's grief and the creature's murderous spree) do not mesh well or indeed much at all. There is also an attempt to link the creature to a vague, apparently Native American, mythology, but this attempt falls flat--very flat, in fact. Danielle comes upon someone who seems to know about the creature, lectures her, and provides her with something to read so that she can defeat the thing. As it happens, though, these elements play almost no role in the film's resolution, and they seem pointless as a result.

On the other hand, there are a great number of things that work well in "It Waits." Foremost among the positives is Cerina Vincent, who must carry a large part of the film since she is the only human on screen for long periods of time. The scenes with her boyfriend (Dominic Zamprogna) seem genuine, and both actors make their relationship thoroughly believable. Vincent's vulnerability and Zamprogna's support amply convey an implicit longstanding relationship and a back story that make the characters seem much more real. Their scenes are accompanied by a couple very nice songs (especially "Believe in Me" by Melanie Monroe, who was previously unknown to me).

Danielle's vulnerability early in the film contrasts nicely with her strength in the second half of the film. Determined to stop the creature, Danielle finds the strength to fight, but this strength is not so over-the-top that her past is forgotten.

The strengths of "It Waits" outweighed the flaws for me. The beautiful scenery, the masterful performance by Vincent, and the good, old-fashioned sense of suspense here made the eighty minutes enjoyable. As I write this, though, I am aware that there are several negative reviews here. I am not entirely sure why those who wrote the reviews were so unimpressed by the film, but I wonder whether they expected something more like most contemporary horror films. In trying to come up with a similar film, I kept thinking of Creature from the Black Lagoon. For those who enjoy that type of monster movie, "It Waits" should prove enjoyable.

Good monster flick.......2006-11-06

I found it pretty good because of the setting and lead actress. Its always more tense when you can't really see what you are up against, and when you do you wish you hadn't!

It lurks, it prowls...it reaks.......2006-11-05

It Waits is one of those modern day, low budget horror snooze fests that we've been getting a lot of lately, and it's abysmal from start to finish. Cerina Vincent (from Cabin Fever, whose large "attractions" are the only thing that'll keep your eyes on the screen) stars as an alcoholic forest ranger (yes, you read that right) who gets stalked by a murderous, blood thirsty creature (because there are no other kinds) from Native American mythology that makes short work of her boyfriend and a few hikers. Normally, under the right circumstances, I try to be understanding of a low budget horror flick of this type, but everything about it so bad from the wooden acting, creaky attempt at giving Vincent a weak backstory, and the poppy soft-rock is about as welcome here as a claw in the guts. The gore and makeup are halfway decent, but that's it. Beyond bad, avoid.

The best "B" movie I've ever seen.......2006-10-30

I was expecting a totally laughfest and it turned out to not be so bad. You know it was predictable as most horror flicks are but was a fun hour and a half spent with my older teens. The special effects weren't bad either. Not so bad....

2 1/2.......2006-07-22

I never get tired of looking at Cerina Vincent. That alone earns it the two and a half star rating.

Beyond that, not much to be desired. On a down note, Cerina as sworn off doing nudity, and that's a damn shame.

Not Bad Not Great.

We also have the 2 studs that are petting each other and looking longly into each others eyes, not to worry though homophobes nothing happens at all between any one.
Witch to me is a missed opportunity with theses two young ladies, I mean damn this is a slasher flick and heck this is a new idea for the genre.

A Contender For "Greatest Unheralded Horror Of The Decade".......2005-11-10

"Evil Remains" is one of the most totally captivating, most intense, well-done, horrific and just plain Best movies to come out in what's been a great last few years for movies in general and horror movies in particular, so much so that it's hard to see how this one flew so far under the radar.

A group of young college students is heading up to do some research on an abandoned estate where violent murders took place some years ago. Sound familiar? Well, at First it is (but in a good way, reminiscent to me of the first time I saw the first "Friday The 13th" or the original "Texas Chainsaw Massacre") but "Evil Remains" departs from the familiar trail before long. What we have is a movie that starts shifting and opening up questions as to the real nature of what's happening. Is this, indeed, "Friday The 13th" territory, or is it more along the lines of "The Amityville Horror" or even "The Blair Witch Project"? Is what's happening real? If it is, what is the nature of that reality? The characters don't know, don't have a lot of opportunity to find out, and the more cryptic it gets the better. "Evil Remains" presents multiple possibilities of what's happening and then keeps shifting the scales of probability back and forth and throwing monkeywrenches into the gears at the same time. It's also loaded up with truely interesting and likable characters, many of whom have intriguing backstories that are only briefly referred to or hinted at but that play roles in their own motivations and in the movie's larger story. And these hinted backgrounds rip open some new possibilities of their own. I would just leave it at that, vague as it is, but with this movie having gone largely unseen, I'd really like to encourage people to at least give it a chance, and I'm going to point out a few things that I think might draw people in. I'm not going to go past the halfway point of the movie but nonetheless, if you're already planning on seeing it, you might want to stop reading now.

***WARNING: POSSIBLE SEMI-SPOILERS(1ST HALF OF MOVIE ONLY) AHEAD ****

- In a lot of horror movies, a variation on one of two approaches is used: show the monster and the mayhem; or don't show it, use hints and suggestions, and let imagination take over. Both are perfectly valid approaches that have helped create many great horror movies. "Evil Remains" is perhaps the ultimate example of a movie that does both: I don't think I've ever seen such a full-throttle and visually horrific movie that still leaves so much to puzzle out and wonder about and imagine.

- Fans of truly gruesome horror take note: Leatherface's leather mask is brutally disturbing and Freddy Krueger's razor claws are deadly, but the 'dark bizarre' ante gets upped again here. Have you ever heard of a killer(?)(apparition?)(hallucination?) that wears the filleted head of a dog he murdered as a mask?

- If that makes some fans want to turn away from this, it should be re-iterated how interesting and likable the 'non-evil' characters are on here. All helped along by great acting, and many of them carrying some kind of mystery of their own, these very empathisable characters are, I think, going to win over some viewers who usually shy away from the more graphic horror to how great a lot of these movies can be, from "Friday The 13th" to "House Of 1,000 Corpses" and "Saw", for starters.

- Speaking of graphic horror, how about human-sized sharp steeljawed snare-trap type devices? That look nothing like anything factory made but dead-on exactly like something a psychopath with a working forge and sufficient time wuld cobble together in a basement of horrors, or a totally insane, possibly possessed mind, would conjure up? People who still advocate trappers setting up these things in the woods may think a bit differently after seeing "Evil Remains".

- Finally, if you've liked any of the following (and I know this is an eclectic batch, but this movie aggressively tears open a Lot of possibilities) I'd really urge you to check "Evil Remains" out: "Friday The 13th" , "Amityville" (especially the second one, from 1981), "Wrong Turn", "Fear Runs Silent", "The Blair Witch Project", "Tourist Trap", "Saw" or "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre".

Truly one of horror's great undiscovered treasures.

Lots of potential, not a lot of substance........2005-08-28

This movie starts out, like most, with a pretty good plot, though it soon deteriorates into just another long, dragged out borefest. For example, you'll get annoyed with the never-ending card game, as well as the painfully tedious conversations between characters who become possessed (ala The Shining), most notably between Estella Warren's character and her on-screen girlfriend as they hide out (I won't give away more than that, in the event you actually want to see this one). On the positive side, Estella Warren's acting is actually pretty good (better than The Planet of the Apes, anyway). In sum, though, I wouldn't recommend this one.

Just by way of background, and while other reviewers seems to prefer to reveal much of the story and plot, I think that sort of ruins the film in many cases. So, you'll want to look for other reviews and reviewers if that is what you are looking for...

SWAMPED.......2005-08-20

Although set in the usually eerie swamplands of Louisiana, EVIL REMAINS doesn't go too far in advancing the tired cursed land story. A group of students venture off to a supposedly cursed plantation to disprove the myth of it being cursed. Seems twenty years earlier, an abused boy murdered his sadistic father and passive mother, but his body was never recovered. (Hint, hint). The movie tries to achieve some atmospheric chills and its cast is more than capable, but it's too talky and under-directed to provide true chills.

I found Centipede to be a fun little monster flick.......2006-10-29

I'm one of those people who like Grade B horror and sci-fi movies (even Grade Z sometimes) with non-CGI monsters. I think Centipede is actually a pretty good little movie that mixes the old style monster genre with the young-good-looking-twentysomethings in peril plot. I also liked the fact that Centipede was actually shot and is set in a non-typical locale -- the country of India. To me, it was a lot more fun to watch than the recent spate of cartoony CGI monster movies or indie sadist killer horror movies. If you enjoy the old style monster movies from the 50s and 60s like me, you might enjoy watching Centipede. I did.

It's ok........2006-02-16

A group of friends go check out a cave in India before one of them gets married. Unfortunatly, they get trapped inside with a giant killer centipede. The bad writing, acting, and special effects might put you off, but there's still a little bit of fun to be had with this one. Rent it if you really want to see it.

Lots of legs. No plot. Dude........2006-01-09

I know what you're thinking. "Wow! They made a movie version of the hit arcade game!" Well...OK maybe you're NOT thinking that, but believe me that's a far cooler idea than what we got here.

A bunch of young adults go spelunking in India - don't ask how a group of young people could afford the trip, and don't ask why India looks like southern California - and proceed to drink beer, listen to loud music, and pee on the walls before a giant centipede comes and attacks them. I have to side with the centipede here: imagine you're sitting at home watching TV when some guy walks in, unzips his pants, and proceeds to pee on the wall. How would you feel? If you had mandibles of doom you'd kill him too right?

Lot's of people die. To be honest I really didn't care, because I could've cared less about these characters. They might as well have been called "Generic Teenager #1," "Generic Teenager #2," and so on. Plus they're to blame for emoting the terrible lines from the script. By the way, you know that story about how Hugh Jackman started adding "Bub" to his "X-Men" dialogue? Something similar must've been done here because the characters throw the word "dude" around so much it deserves it's own drinking game.

"Now is the winter of our discontent made glorious summer by this sun of York, dude."

Don't watch. If you decide to any way, enjoy Las Vegas, India as well a cheap centipede mannequin that gets dragged around the set by gaffers. Dude.

Ive seen worse........2005-12-30

Im a sucker for monster movies...and this one is not too bad.
The only reason it gets a 3 star its because of the caving scencery.
Caves are great for monster movies...too bad you have a bunch of
silly humans bringing down the movie...but its not that bad, most
acting is pretty fair to good, and the monster is not too bad either. A bigger budget would have improve the situation..but its
certainly worth a viewing....

Centipede! The Musical!.......2005-12-24

When the title came up on the screen, it actually had an exclamation point after it... CENTIPEDE! Like a musical. Come to think of it, this movie might have been better if it had a couple of snappy musical numbers in it. It makes you wonder if they were going for that self-referencing Sci-Fi PG-13 funny/scary movie thing that Blue Devil, Monster Island and Bite Me! have captured so effectively. A bunch of spelunkers go to India to explore a creepy cave before one of them goes off to get married. Like a bachelor party in a cave or something like that. They are attacked by giant latex centipede puppets. The end.

Not much to recommend here, boils and ghouls, except for one truly bizarre moment. So, this Indian guide leads our heroes down into the cave, and they all decide to have a party while their in the bowels of the earth. We find out through some really unsubtle exposition that the soon-to-be-married guy used to have a thing with one of the other girls on the trip. There's supposed sexual tension between them as they try to ignore each other. I guess this girl was supposed to be sultry and sexy and mysterious. I thought she was kinda Plain Jane, but maybe the director was dating her or something. We'll call her CC (Casting Couch) for short, because I can't remember her character's name.

While they're all partying down in the caves, someone turns on a radio and some of them start dancing. Really awkward, watching all these actors trying to pretend like they are having fun. It's a cringe-fest. But then they all start looking at CC and chanting, "Do the dance. Do the dance." She coyly shakes her head. I was watching it thinking that this must be why they cast her, maybe she can do some freakish thing like wrap her legs around her head and dance like that. So this big build-up around the DANCE, and when she finally gets up and does it... it's like this White Girl Cabbage Patch thing that, quite literally, gave me a stabbing pain in my stomach. It was a NAPOLEON DYNAMITE moment. I watched her do the DANCE like five times in a row. It was crazy. I wanted to vomit. That's why I say maybe they should have kept the exclamation point at the end of the title and made this movie into some weird kind of horror/musical.

This movie is for all horror fans!!.......2007-03-26

I thought that this movie delivered its' thrills and chills it had intended. The acting was very good and believable and the story was a different one that most horror movies. Especially one that involved the London subways. This movie is a must have for all horror fans in thier collection.

A Horror Fan Must !.......2007-02-07

"RAW MEAT" is a slow paced but good little creepfest with chunks of unintentional silly humor scattered throughout wich mostly comes from it's outdated content,offbeat acting at times & clunky delivery of the score. With that said it does have plenty of that thick creepy 70's horror film atmosphere along with a couple of jumpy scares and some great "gross out" visuals. The execise of making the viewer grapple between fearing the mutant man or feeling bad for him was accomplished brilliantly in my eyes. I'm willing to bet that before shooting "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" Tobe Hooper definitely took some visual tips from the morbid tunnel dwelling of our sad villian from this film. I do consider this to be a little known lost gem and I'm very happy to add it to my collection. This disturbing little midnight frightfest definitely deserves a special little place in the demented heart of every true horror fan.

Mind the Doors!!.......2006-09-02

One of the key ingredients to any great horror film is the setting, more often than not the setting takes on symbolic and metaphorical resonance and becomes more than just a space where the events of the film are played out. The first of American director Gary Sherman's aesthetic triumphs in "Death Line" or "Raw Meat" as it is known in the US, is the grungy, grimy and downright fowl disused London Tube Station setting. This space is not only important for the purposes of narrative exposition, but also for the message of the film, which is basically that when the money runs out the working classes will be left to rot and fend for themselves. This is reflected in modern times by the pattern of social bullying that informs the film. The MI5 look down on the police and subsequently the police look down on the students. The students for their own part present the unfortunate demise of any type of anarchic or rebellious counter-culture. The American is as thuggish and violent as the cannibalistic underground dweller whose only words are "Mind the doors". In fact the younger generation in this film offer little hope for the future. It often takes an outsider to highlight the hypocrisies and incompetence of a society and the director is particularly scathing of a class system that sees members of the MOD frequenting the red light districts and a tea obsessed police inspector who has thieving and drunken tendencies. The vision of the world in "Death Line" is particularly unpleasant and in fact the almost Neanderthal "Man" ends the film the character with the greatest humanity. "Death Line" is a film that has been unfairly neglected over the years, mainly by a British film culture that rejects works of so called exploitation. This is a great shame because "Death Line" in it's rich layering exposes almost all of societies many faults.

A forgotten gem.......2005-10-25

I have no particular interest in 'genre' movies as a rule - and horror movies least of all. But this is different.

'Death Line/Raw Meat' is a powerful and sometimes moving film whose humane vision is heightened by its treatment of the 'monster' as a pitiful creature of circumstance. In the wake of The Wickerman's new-found popularity I'd like to put a word in for this similarly memorable British film of the 1970s.

After a construction disaster in 1892 forced successive generations of 'monsters' to live the degraded existence of underground cannibals, the film follows the last surviving male cannibal who survives by abducting passengers from Russell Tube tube station and, er, eating them.

But as the Time Out Film Guide's Nigel Floyd suggests, 'the film's great achievement is in eliciting sympathy for a creature whose residual capacity for human feeling [tending to his dying wife] is ultimately more moving than horrifying.'

The sequences that slowly but surely take us through the pathetic underworld inhabited by the 'monster' never fail to unnerve me. I've never seen anything like it before or since.

One of the scariest horror movies, and definitely one of my favorites.......2005-08-02

This movie is unbelievably scary. The scariest parts are the tremendous amount of gruesome detail of the cannibal's underground lair. One scene I like to refer to as the "waterdrop" scene, will haunt you for a long time (or at least make you nauseated). This contains all of the elements of a superb horror film: a great villain, true-to-life characters, revolting gore effects, moments where nothing particularly frightening happens which adds to the realism and the feel that you are actually in the movie, and, of course, some genuine frights. So, if you like horror movies, and have not heard of this one, I highly reccomend it. "Genuine thrills! The best in horror film traditions." You couldn't have said it any better Siskel.

Product Description

"Ghouls" were an unknown entity to moviegoers until the release of "The night of the living dead" in 1968. The story is as horrifying as the title suggests and leaves one with mixed sentiments - fascination for direction and photography, and a queasy feeling under the belt for its ghoulish portrayal of the unnatural. A Girl seeking refuge from ghouls finds herself in the company of others who are in the same boat - or more correctly the same safe house. Ghouls find them and have them for dinner one at a time until only one of them, Ben survives. But would the posse led by the sheriff be able to tell Ben apart from the ghouls? The story underlines the ghoulish philosophy that "sinners" must die.
