Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.

Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

stoppedklok I watched this "film" last night by accident after a friend received it in the post from his monthly subscription DVD provider service. My friend denied all responsibility after we watched this turgid and vacuous waste of light, denying that he had ever added it to his want list at all - perhaps the people at LoveFilm (other DVD provider services are available) regularly send this film out for a laugh just to irritate people. This incidentally, is the only reason I can think of for anyone to be involved in the making and distribution of this genuinely appalling eye irritant of an atrocity - they must just want to cause as much misery and unhappiness in the world as possible. Well - they're getting there.

BakuryuuTyranno For something distributed by Shoreline Entertainment, unfortunately, Carnivorous is one of the best.Granted, its main accomplishment is generating apathy; that's because what little substance this film has is repetitive and before long, you'll probably stop caring. Still better than what you normally find amongst Shoreline's library. Essentially, people trapped within a CGI castle battle CGI monsters.Characters contribute little before the script begins killing them off. Occasionally, still photography of the dead people appears. Why is unknown.The pacing is pretty fast. For what it's worth. Granted, before long the actors' interaction with creatures and corridors is something the audience should adjust to. For what that's worth. Carnivorous may be somewhat watchable as a timewaster, but that's about it.The only problem thing is before this movie ends, you'll probably have stopped paying attention, thus negating the negatives and, um... positives(?) of Carnivorous.

Theo Robertson When you're watching the Zone Horror Channel you're not expecting much in the way of masterpieces . The channel shows an incredible amount of rubbish and much of it is barely watchable rubbish . Add this movie to being amongst the worst of the worst Zone horror has to offerCARNIVOROUS starts off with a bunch of people waking up in a cavern . At this very early point I was expecting to be watching SAW crossed with THE DESCENT and in some ways it is somewhat similar to the Neil Marshall movie in that people have to run for their lives in a cave like prison being stalked all the time by murderous monsters . This is bad enough but then the movie takes on a life of its own featuring ridiculous supernatural , metaphysical nonsense Regardless of how good or bad its narrative strengths or weaknesses might have been the production values are outstandingly poor . Most of the set is composed of a green screen , the CGI monsters are astoundingly poor but worst of all is the cinematography - everything is so dimly lit that it's almost impossible to see what's happening on screen but when you're watching a movie this bad it's a relief of sorts

Paul Andrews Carnivorous starts as Kate (Leah Rose) gets a flat tyre while driving in some isolated woods somewhere, soon after a guy (Chris Flieller) comes along in a truck & abducts her after knocking her out with a shovel. Kate wakes up to find herself tapped inside what looks like a huge labyrinth that is populated by awful computer game graphics, sorry I mean scary ten foot tall monsters. Along with various other people Kate has to survive the various traps, dodge the monsters & try to find a way out of the maze like labyrinth & to the safety of the real world...Written & directed by Drew Maxwell I watched Carnivorous last night, I actually had the choice of watching this, Southern Comfort (1981), Kiss the Girls (1997) or Saw II (2005) & I definitely made the wrong decision since Carnivorous is one of the worst films it's been my displeasure to endure. At the time of writing this comment Carnivorous has a lowly User Rating of 1.8 on the IMDb & I am wondering why so high? Also at the time of writing this comment there is only one other User Comment & it starts by asking the question 'Why such a low IMDb rating?', well it has such a low rating because it's truly dreadful. It's abysmal. It's appalling in every aspect. It's an awful film, if you can describe it as a film, & it's as simple & straight forward as that really. I have no connection to the film industry, I had never heard of Carnivorous before I watched it, I don't know anyone involved with the film & the director & producer & actor's are just 'names' to me & I didn't see it at some obscure film festival with an introduction by the director which is all it takes for some people to rave about the biggest pieces of celluloid crap imaginable. I am just an average guy & I cannot understand or see how anyone could find anything in Carnivorous even in the remotest bit enjoyable or entertaining. Both conceptually & technically Carnivorous is appalling. The story is weak, the character development is none existent, the plot makes no sense, there's barely any exposition, it's impossible to care about what is going on & it's unrelentingly dull & boring to boot. Definitely one to avoid.A lot of Carnivorous was shot in a warehouse against a green-screen & the backgrounds & monsters were digitally put in later & the process looks terrible. The perspective is all wrong, character's just don't look right or stand right against the poorly rendered & detailed backgrounds which look awful. It's so dark you can barely see anything, the lighting is all wrong on character's face's & bodies, the CGI monster look terrible & the average PS3 console game looks better with more convincing graphics. Carnivorous is like a poorly made video game but without the fun of the interaction, you just sit there looking at these awful CGI graphics & praying that it's going to finish sooner rather than later. The film has a really odd look & feel, your brain just know's that something is wrong, that something isn't quite right in the way character's walk around or the perspective of certain shots & it's a very odd viewing experience. There's not much gore either, there's a decapitated, an impaling & a cut head but nothing else & all the actor's obviously were working without any on set props & these scenes just don't work as the CGI animators try to match the live action & the CGI but pretty much fail on every occasion. I have never seen another film quite like Carnivorous & I genuinely hope it's a one off & filmmakers don't go down the cheap CGI route not only for backgrounds but sets & props as well.According to the IMDb this had a supposed budget of about $5,000,000, yeah right! Knock at least three zeros off that & I think that would be nearer the true budget. The film has no scares, the lighting is well off, the CGI backgrounds are far too dark & look terrible & the whole film seems to try & go far a Hellbound: Hellraiser II (1988) feel with it's Gothic style hellish labyrinth complete with dangling hooks on chains but the CGI is awful. The acting is terrible too from no-one I have ever heard of.Carnivorous is a truly terrible film, it's absolutely dreadful & deserves it's lowly IMDb rating. This is definitely 'worst film ever' material & I would hate to think the techniques used here to make Carnivorous would become widespread in the industry. One of the worst films I have ever endured & I have endured some real rubbish over the years.
