Gnaw (2008)

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Blistering performances.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

One thing I shouldn't do before watching a film is read the reviews on here.I wonder if some of the slating is due to the early reviews being fake ones probably cast/crew.So the film...It's really a Brit Low Budget run through Texas Chainsaw with the added food factor, It's not badly done and runs nicely through the Horror film clichés that we all know and love.It's a short film (without credits around 65m) so it doesn't outstay it's welcome (although the scenes of the people getting there are in need of an edit) - Take it as a homage to TCM and such like and you can except the fact it isn't original.It's another one I got from a pound shop and it was worth the money.

The legacy of "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre" continues with this UK production that has much juicy violence to satisfy gore lovers but little else. When all is said and done, this really doesn't bring anything different to the party. It's best recommended to those horror fans that just want some undemanding thrills. The story has a group of young British folk taking a vacation at a secluded country home who are then victimized by the local savage, who loves to turn human beings into chopped meat. They dwindle in number quickly mainly because none of them are too bright. Granted, some of them are likable enough. At the very least, the screenplay shows that all of them are fair game; there are no guarantees of anybody's survival. That doesn't change the fact that this is all very thinly written and routinely directed. The movie depends a little too much on its shock value and its overdone jump scares. It does create some effective atmosphere from being set in the real country. The soundtrack is a good counter balance to the grim and sadistic goings-on throughout. There are some nice touches on occasion, such as things being shown from the perspective of a character who's been blind-folded, and the choice of mask for our antagonist, which is somewhat creepy. Production design and widescreen cinematography are impressive, the pacing adequate enough. But what few assets there are can't really make up for a familiar premise and presentation, right down to the ending. The performances by most everybody involved are nothing special, save for the delicious scenery chewing (or maybe I should say gnawing) of Carrie Cohen as Mrs. Obadiah. All in all, this is one gore fest you can safely skip unless you just can't get enough of this sort of thing. Five out of 10.

i watched this based on the poster and for the fact that i like checking out low budget uk horror films.its awful, its shot OK but the script feels like the first draft of a script writing student. whoever read it and said to the film makers 'thats good, shoot that' should be shot.the poor actors have to wander around either spouting meaningless nonsense or obvious exposition, the story hits all the beats that the books teach you to hit when writing a horror film but thats not enough to make a film work. its boring, the characters are all stereotypical to the point of nausea and its only positive point is that the make up fx guy should get some work from it.avoid, even if its on the TV.

it's one of the worst movies i have ever seen....i could of shot better film with my 8mm camera....just a waste of film i do not have anything good to say about this so called film i don't even know how it ends...because i didn't even get that far just terrible the person who made this film needs..by the way the people in the film needs to be shot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OK they will not let me post my comment unless its about ten lines they need to change this some movies do not deserve more than one line so im gonna try to spread it out a little bit hope it works.now they saying do not pad your comments this crap sucks man i really don't have anything to write..so back in Detroit where i was born we had some fun
