SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

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

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

I saw the high movie rating and read the great reviews, so I felt compelled to watch it. I've seen my share of "intelligent" psychological thrillers and such, but there was nothing of that here. Stupid, yes.Still, I forced myself to watch the movie, thinking maybe the Meth-head characters just didn't get any sympathy with me; and with that in mind, I thought I'd give it a chance and finish the story. But in all honesty, I could not see an iota of what the positive reviews raved about.Granted, the actors were convincing in their roles, but it takes more than that to make a good movie. It did occur to me that maybe everyone involved in this film was snorting something, hence, the awful outcome.To cut it short and save you the hassle, I found this movie to be utter rubbish and would not recommend it to anyone--not even a Meth addict.

"Cookers" sure was a nice surprise, as I expected very little from it. A good tagline for this one could possibly be "Tweeker Hell", or something. Because I've seen quite a few people act a bit "weird" while "under the influence", but those were a far cry from the way freak-junky Hector behaved in this flick. Man, that guy was messed up. Totally. The whole time. It might have been an accurate portrayal when it comes to "speedy" behaviour. It might have been exaggerated. But I do not want to even know how much dope it takes to make a guy act like him. Anyway, so the drug-part was pretty fascinating in this one, but the 'ghostly/haunted'-part was, well, pretty good (with the creepy stuff interacting with possible drug-induced hallucinations and all), but near the end it seemed like the movie went a little too "Blair Witch" for my tastes. Well, at least that's how it seemed, because unfortunately my DVD started messing-up near the end (pause-continue-pauze-etc), so I couldn't quite make out all that was happening there... Still, I'll gladly give this one another watch, just to see what's up with the ending.

Judging by the hype, and other reviews on this site, I was ready for an awesome horror movie focusing on junkies. What i got was complete crap focusing on junkies. I wonder if there's another movie called "Cookers" that these people reviewed? There are only 3 main characters, and none of them struck me as well-written or well-acted. Basically the whole movie I just spent shaking my head and marveling at the stupidity of these drug addicts.Do yourself a favor. Don't rent this movie. Rent "Cabin Fever" or some other decent horror movie. Hell, rent "Mary Poppins"! The animated penguins are scarier and more convincing than anything you'll find in "Cookers."

This movie totally freaked me out!!!! Even though I am only 18 and a freshman in college, I have been around several people that use and the movie was right on. Some parts scared the crap out me but I can't wait to see it again and take all my friends.
