PodBill Just what I expected

Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

lojitsu A-Z Horror Movie of the Day..."Live Animals" (NR - 2008 - US)Sub-Genre: Gore/TortureMy Score: 4.4Cast=3 Acting=2 Plot=6 Ending=4 Story=3 Scare=6 Jump=3 F/X=4 Gore=7 Torture=6A group of college kids must decide what price they will pay to gain their freedom after being kidnapped by a ruthless White Slave trader. This movie was low budget, horribly acted, and written on the premise that you will be drunk when you watch it. It's basically a bunch of scenes of the bad guys treating these kids like livestock...like watching those PSA's where they want $19 a month to help abused animals. There were some disturbing torture scenes and it was gory enough, but there was no substance to it.  I can't recommend this one, unless you just want gore for being gore.

jcromwell66762 I really enjoyed this movie. I am not a movie buff, I just watch ones that sound interesting, and this one did. Never heard of any of the actors, but it was well written, and well acted. It has such a deliciously twisted story line, and the characters are quite realistic. Wayne was my favorite person, so totally nonchalant and business like. It added so much depth, and Edgar was perfectly psycho enough!! If you want a decent, suspenseful, and entertaining movie, I do not think you can go wrong. It combines elements that are the most primal in all "live animals", the basic emotions that exist in all creatures. The director and actors did an awesome job, and I understand this was not a high budget film, it has became a standard in my favorites list and is destined to stay there for a long, long time!

gavin6942 A group of college kids must decide what price they will pay to gain their freedom after being kidnapped by a ruthless White Slave trader.This film is described on the DVD case as "gutsy", but that's just about the last word I would use to describe it. The film quality is low, seemingly on purpose to give it a gritty look, and this only adds to the frustration of trying to watch it. Aside from the film quality itself, the movie is just plain bad.If you like watching people being tortured, there are a few scenes you may enjoy. I, for one, have grown bored with it. I wasn't a big fan in the first place, and if you want to cover up a weak plot with torture, that's just a poor idea and you shouldn't have made the film in the first place. "Saw" and "Hostel" said it all.There's a plot twist here or there that is kind of interesting, but hardly worth getting excited about. Personally, I think it would be in your best interest to just keep walking and forget this film was ever made. I know I will soon forget.

knifeintheeye The premise had promise (human capture and slavery in middle America) unfortunately the execution was off. Stilted characters that reeked of horror movie clichés and an overly long tedious opening that almost made me turn the movie off in boredom did not help the film (and continuity issues with blood covered ripped up shirts don't help either).Buckets of blood do not make a good movie, no matter how many teenagers tell you it does. Perhaps given better actors, editors, writer and director, this would have been a decent film, but in this case, it was poorly executed by the cast and crew that were in over their heads from the very start. And the goofy twists in the last fifteen minutes are simply that…goofy.And as a note to the writer: if you are going to make a point of the main protagonist saying that he can break a human in a mere three days...please follow through with it. Nothing happened to even remotely break anyone.
