Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Leofwine_draca The second horror film from Chinese director Tsui Hark (after 1979's BUTTERFLY MURDERS) is a crazed, madcap variation on the old Texas CHAIN SAW MASSACRE theme, with a gang of insane masked cannibals wielding meat cleavers making life difficult for our hero, the oddly-named 999. 999 is a kung fu fighting hero (is there no other?) who is searching for the equally bizarrely-monikored Rolex (just who chose the names in this movie?), a missing criminal who has vanished into a remote island off the coast of China. What follows is like one live-screen cartoon as 999 and his various friends repeatedly fight off attacks from dozens of hungry cannibals, who themselves are starved of food due to the rule of their nasty leader, the power-mad Eddy Ko (from John Woo's HEROES SHED NO TEARS).This bizarre, one-of-a-kind movie has plenty of diverse ingredients to recommend it. Unusually for what is primarily an action movie, there is plenty of characterisation and throwaway lines for both the good guys and the villains, and the acting is of a strong standard throughout with plenty of amusing performances. Hark mixes plenty of well-choreographed martial arts into the film's formula, as 999 fends off a dozen cleavers and battles it out with the leader of the village. The film has a distinctive visual style, with the emphasis on the bizarre and unnatural, and plenty of music is ripped off SUSPIRIA which makes for a weird experience. Not only are there a gang of gargoyle-like baddies on the loose, but there's also a sex-mad transvestite and twisted, contorted appearances a plenty. The film is fairly violent but with the emphasis on the humour in the violent scenes, with bubbling stews of human entrails and limbs being torn off. But in the end the wild mix of humour, horror, and kung fu comedy is what makes this concoction work.

Woodyanders Secret agent 999 (a solid and likable performance by Norman Chu) gets sent to a remote Chinese island to arrest thief Rolex. Things go horribly awry when said island turns out to be almost entirely populated by crazed bloodthirsty cannibals. Director Hark Tsui, who also co-wrote the loopy script with Roy Szeto, keeps the entertainingly off-the-wall story moving along at a breathless brisk clip, milks plenty of laughs from the amusingly twisted sense of spot-on silly and sidesplitting black humor, maintains a cheerfully deranged tone throughout, delivers a plethora of over-the-top violent and gory carnage, and stages the copious exciting and energetic martial arts fights with rip-roaring brio. The villages are a colorful assortment of complete kooks, with a homely and lecherous lady giant rating as the most delightfully daffy of the berserk bunch. Kwok Choi Hon easily steals the whole screwy show with his winningly wacky portrayal of a wily and elusive pickpocket while the lovely Mo-lin Cheung makes a favorable impression as the sweet Lin. The familiar music cues from Goblin's score for "Suspiria" further add to this picture's considerable infectiously insane appeal. Hung-Chuen Lau's vibrant widescreen cinematography boasts plenty of crazy camera angles. A seriously nutty riot.

Coventry With a crazy over-the-top title like "We're Going to Eat You!", you should already know not to expect a cannibal film with nail-biting suspense and/or disturbing shock sequences, but more of a deranged black comedy with absurd situations and a light-headed ambiance. It all depends on your personal sense of humor, of course, but I thought this was a truly relaxing and imaginative Hong Kong cult film! There's not much of a storyline, but the gazillion Kung-Fu fighting sequences are masterfully choreographed and indescribably spectacular. On more than one occasion during these grotesque fights, I wondered how the hell it was possible for certain people to be so ingeniously pliant! The story's hero is Special Agent 999 who, in his quest to arrest the wanted criminal Rolex (I guess he steals watches) travels to an island inhabited by a strange community of cannibalistic weirdos. Agent 999 teams up with an eccentric loner and the only vegetarian girl in town to battle his way off the island again. The script limits itself to showing how 999 & C° get captured by the cannibals and how they subsequently fight their way out of the bubbling cauldrons again, so you really shouldn't consider watching this HK-splatter flick for its intelligent dialogs or slowly oozing suspense. The fights are funny and creative, with the roller-skating sequence as the absolute highlight, and also quite gory, since many of 999's opponents meet their death on sharp cooking objects like meat cleavers and butcher knives. The acting skills of the performers are modest, but they're artists of a different breed! Norman Chu, Eddy Ko and Melvin Wong know copious amounts of exhilarating Kung Fu moves and these definitely compensate for the lack of competent plotting. "We're Going To Eat You" is honestly one of the most entertaining & unpretentious horror-comedy hybrids I ever had the pleasure of seeing. Warmly recommended to watch with a bunch of friends on a lazy Saturday evening.

christopher-underwood I know this film has it's fans and is possible I was just not in the mood, but I don't think so. A great start with fast and gory action that includes all manner of weapons two deaths and a guy cut in half with a saw whilst he is strapped to a table. All within the first five minutes. There is also a gory and well shot ending, but in between…fighting….slapstick comedy…oh and a 'cool' guy with a hat and a cigarette. I am never very good with Chinese humour, just a little broad for me and the endless below par kung-fu fighting…aagh! It looks OK, in fact it looks as if quite a lot was spent on it and there is a very large cast, but oh dear, no not for me.
