Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
Absolutely the worst movie.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Over a long holiday weekend, unable to escape the confines of their sorority house, a handful of unsuspecting girls are left behind to enjoy the quiet sanctuary.The normal house staff has taken off for the weekend, leaving the girls to fend for themselves.Thankfully someone was kind enough to send them a temporary replacement chef to cook their meals.However, when the girls start disappearing one-by-one, they begin to suspect something may not be quite right....So all you need to know about is is the fact that there are a lot of pretty girls in this, who get drunk and stoned, and kiss one another a lot.It's as if someone has made a really cheap movie with female friends, and getting them to kiss. It has a good set up and there is an idea there, but it's so poorly made and acted, you really are clock watching throughout the whole film.The cook being unable to speak English, borderlines xenophobia, and there is one good scene explaining Friday 13th Part 4, while there is a killing going on. It's inventive and the highlight of an otherwise poor movie.Plus this features the worst acted portrayal of a Policeman I have ever seen. He even says 'Cup of Joe'.Not worth seeing.
In my opinion, this movie was actually quite humorous, but in a cheesy way. No part of this movie was actually scary, besides the fact that he is the creepiest cook ever. Dialogue wise, this movie was just filled with profanity and sexuality. The fact that they show the cook cutting up his victims into eating portions is just way over the top. The acting was not all that great either but from the cook it was alright, he gave the creepy sense of him, specially when he was chasing his victims. Overall this movie disappointed me , and i give it a 4/10. I would not recommend watching this movie with family, as it can get awkward, actually i don't recommend watching this movie at all.
I appreciate independent films and people trying to make a movie happen and they put their heart and soul into it. This was probably the case here. The story is typical horror Girls being chased by bad guy. The lead was so so she just wasn't grabbing my attention, she should be cast for more for a hallmark film. The other girls were pretty good, the stupid one just had bad lines..Anyways the story, the sets, the gore, the cast, all pretty good The lead (the cook) was intriguing all in all ***The negative was that we never knew why he hated and wanted to kill I would of liked to have seen the cook as a boy being harassed by college girls or seeing his mom die from drunk girls ..you get the picture..Revenge horror flicks are always the best.
I liked the fact that the killing scenes were quite realistic and not overdone. The attacker did a good job of playing warm/friendly, then breaking into his bad role, then the height of his anger. Even though everyone knows from the poster who the bad guy will be, the element of surprise was nevertheless still there as to the method and details. I thought the coeds for the most part pulled off their death roles rather well, considering that they are not accomplished actresses. The meals served at the dining table were convincing, as were the few meat prep scenes in the kitchen. What I liked most were the 2 heads, but thought they would have been more effective if shown a few more seconds. The bit of humor that was included was a nice extra.
