Sorry, this movie sucks

Good start, but then it gets ruined

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

I'm a big fan of bad movies, but this one isn't enjoyable at all. There's a secret government research lab (the basement of an abandoned house), and some scientist is making a monster. Of course it kills him, and some people are sent from Washington to investigate. Much of the movie is spent with these three idiots prattling about how bad they need to go to the bathroom, how they can't change a flat tire, etc. Some teenagers also wander into the abandoned house, and eventually the monster kills one of them. There are also some stupid cops who spend a lot of time sitting in their car and talking like idiots. That's basically two-thirds of the movie - government idiots arguing in a car, idiot cops being buffoons in a car, and teenagers yakking about teenage stuff in a dark house.In the end, the government people finally arrive and there's the incredibly crappy conclusion. Everything about this is bad, mostly the dialog, but the acting and camera-work take a close second. The whole film looks blue for some reason, it's so dark you can't see what's going on. Not that you really care.Overall, this movie has absolutely none of the fun or amusement that low budget movies can sometimes provide. Avoid it at all costs, it's almost impossible to sit through.

"Carnivore" is a really bad creature that has some decent moments.**SPOILERS**While working on an experiment, a creature escapes from it's cage and escapes into the house above ground. Assigned to keep the creature from escaping, Dana Anderson, (Jill Adcock) is sent to the house, and heads over to the house. The local teens in the town, Scott, (John Jacob) his friend Marc, (Jeff Swan) his girlfriend Bobbi, (Lori Johnson) and her sister Dee, (Pamela Thompson) decide to go to the house for a fun weekend away, and are soon confronted with the creature. When Dana arrives with back-up, they try to stop the creature from escaping.The Good News: This isn't all that great, but there is some nice moments here and there. The monster is nicely played as a rubber suit with no traces of CGI anywhere, and it gives a real impact when it's on-screen. There's not a whole lot of scenes where it looks realistic, but the non-CGI is a plus. There is a lot of havoc created late in the film, with several scenes being quite memorable. The moment where it throws a pile of organs at a character after disemboweling someone right in front of them a moment before is quite nice in it's exploitation sensibilities, as it follows the most brutal killing in the film and is played out nicely. Another rather amusing kill scene is a spiked board in the face that begins to bleed heavily that looks really nice and gory. With some nice suspense worked out in the end and a really impressive jump that works, that's about all for the decent moments.The Bad News: This is a really disappointing film, and it's centered on several reasons. The fact that it so rarely makes any sense is a major crime. The science used to explain the creature and it's existence in the beginning is full of pseudo-scientific ranting that has hardly any bearing on any real scientific reasoning. The fact that hardly anything is explained in a satisfactory manner is a constant distraction, as nothing at all makes any sense. The other big problem is that there is a ton of scenes that stretch it out, yet the film has no reason to be like that. That's really disappointing, when a film feels stretched out when it's so short to begin with. It barely lasts an hour, and most of that is wasted by useless wandering around the house. The beginning is also very padded out, and that mostly leaves this being a really boring experience. There's more here to hate about the film, but it would take too long to list them all.The Final Verdict: A really slow and padded out film that really didn't see the need for it and is saved from total mediocrity by having a couple of nice gore shots along the way. However, this is still a really bad film and is really only for those that enjoy the worst of the worst.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language and Nudity

OK, I usually don't expect a perfect movie when I purchase a DVD from a bargain basket in Walmart, but I still didn't get it. Why people wasted their time to make this movie? And they even published on DVD! Now it became a digital junk. As a matter of fact I cannot criticize this movie because I didn't watch it 100%. I mostly fast forwarded it. Idea was too typical and acting was so cheap. Don't even think about watching for fun, it's boring.

This movie is so bad, it's hilarious. It was obviously filmed by a film student on a budget (the credits at the end give special thanks to Discover, Visa, MasterCard and American Express). The cell phones used in the movie are the size of bricks, so this must have been filmed in the early '90s, even though the copyright says 2002.The monster looks like it was a rented Halloween monkey costume covered with slime. The sound and lighting are so bad a camcorder was probably used. Occasionally, the film shifts to the monster's point of view - it looks like the colors are reversed or put in a special filter to show lots of green, red and blue.One of the high school girls is a hot blonde wearing a miniskirt. I was waiting to see her get eaten by the monster (**SPOILER ALERT**) but it eats her boyfriend instead (his remains look like a mask covered with red paint and raw hamburger). The monster won't eat the pretty females (maybe it falls in love with them and is killing off the competition?). The bossy intelligence agency lady certainly has a thing for the monster (the beauty and the beast!) and it tries to communicate with her through growls. When one of her underling robo-cop agents shoots it with an automatic, she gets furious at him for killing it. Or ... is it really dead?The movie is certainly very watchable repeated times in a campy sort of way. I think it could be compared to other so-bad-their-good low-budget movies like Plan 9 From Outer Space, the Blair Witch Project, and FearDotCom.
