AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
tmdarby I really wanted to like this film. The plot seemed decent and i found the villains pretty creepy. The acting in this film though is shockingly bad. I mean really, really bad. There isn't a good way to describe it other than it's like watching a high school play, but in all honesty most high school plays have better acting. Marcelle Bowman was the only decent actor in the cast. The dialogue and delivery was just horrible from everyone else in the movie. There are quite a few plot holes as well.All in all, this could be a good candidate for a remake with some good actors and a new screen writer.
Travis I love to watch horror movies. I watch them if they are bad or good, usually even the worst movies have something to redeem themselves. That is not the case with this movie. When watching it I kept wondering if this was a group of university students that got together and did this as their end of year project. Here are some of the points I had issue with.Plot: I am not sure there was much of one. Had they gone with the biker gang or the killers they might of had something going but this was just a jumbled mess. No idea where the actors were going or what they were doing there. No idea who the killers were. No idea what the story behind Boot Heel New Mexico was. Characters: No back story to any characters in the movie at all. The little back story they did give doesn't make sense. One had fought in a war and said that "Charlie" had been to a village. That got me to wondering if this was supposed to have taken place in the 70s but the cloths and hair don't look like it to. No idea who the good guys or bad guys were.Acting: Wooden would be the best way to describe the acting. It felt like they were reading from a prompt off screen. The biker leader I think was supposed to be scary but he did not come across that way. The best acting were the "killers" because they had no lines and you couldn't see their faces.intangibles: Most B movies throw in lots of gore or nudity to make up for other things that are lacking. This movie had little gore and no nudity. Sometimes a show is funny or for some reason or another makes you feel like your time wasn't wasted. This has none of that.
dinatekno The best thing about this - ahem, movie - is the image that you see as you are scrolling through what to watch. Don't start it, don't waste your time, it won't get better, it has no redeeming qualities. Just STAY away, I'm begging you. You'll never get that time back. Go spend it playing with your dog, cat or kids. Call your mom and say 'hi'. Watch a lava lamp do it's thing, whatever. Anything will be better than this sorry excuse for entertainment. Not even bad/good. This is supposed to be taking place in 1974 & hearing that one guy reminisce about being stuck in 'Nam while 'Charlie' was on the attack made me almost choke on my popcorn. Totally ridiculous. It was the one good laugh I got out of this monstrosity.
TheLittleSongbird As said many times before, this is not coming from anybody who takes pleasure in hating a movie. In fact, quite the opposite, this is coming from somebody who tries to see good in anything that's bad regardless of how strong any negative feelings are. Eaters is one of few movies in some time where there is nothing to say redeeming about it.It is hard to say where Eaters failed most heavily, but the acting is a definite contender here. Atrocious isn't describing it enough, with the yellow T-shirt guy and the biker leader agreed tied for the worst performances, the former looking like he both didn't want to be there and didn't have a clue as to what he was doing and the latter is more irritating than menacing. Everybody looks disengaged and stumble constantly through their lines, giving the already crass and awkwardly written dialogue- that is enough to make even a toddler feel dumb- even less fluidity than it already suffered from. The cardboard, stereotypical characters were not worth giving a toss about, they're all annoying and the bikers have no sense of presence and instead behave like idiots. The missing girl isn't on screen anywhere near long enough to make one care properly about the situation the characters are on or the basic story.The story is another massive failing, there is nothing scary, suspenseful or tense about it, structurally it's choppy, a lot of scenes are so mind-numbingly stupid and pointless it was insulting and it just drags on and on with scenes stretched to interminability. There is nothing competent about the direction, which is literally all at sea, nor about the filming. The opening is alright, but everything else visually is unfocused to a dizzying degree, was starting to wonder whether the cameraman was drunk or something. Scenery is basic and drably lit, and the sound is so flat that hearing what was being said was difficult and sometimes like somebody trying unsuccessfully to tune a radio.Overall, horrendously bad with nothing good to say in its favour. As someone who tries to be fair when viewing films/movies/shows Eaters really has to be one of the worst movies seen in quite a long time. 0/10 Bethany Cox
