Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable
Micitype Pretty Good
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
taurusevd This movie is a complete waste of time and a total turd. Anyone who thinks this is worth watching is an idiot. Not funny, clever, or compelling in any way. Avoid at every opportunity. Shark Babes has more to offer and is a better use of your time. Then again, just about anything is better than suffering through this piece of trash.
wheezeew This movie tries so hard to be funny and alternative and smart, but every joke falls flat. The screen writing is going for funny outrageous sarcastic, but nothing in it is funny enough to rise above trying too hard. For example, one character calls another a "Barry Gibb looking dude." That's supposed to be funny, but the guy hardly looks like Barry Gibb, so the joke doesn't work. If she had called him, "you fatter, unfunny Paul Rudd-looking dude, that might have been a little funny. The gory parts look too cheap to be scary, and the unreal and lame dialogue makes it impossible to care about what anyone says. It tries to be Eating Raoul, but it turns out to be Sharknado - pretty much impossible to sit through. Some good actors, but such weak material that nobody could make a good movie out of it.
GL84 Arriving at a Mexican cantina, a group of criminals hold the remaining employees hostage and force them to participate in a series of depraved games intending to devour them afterwards and forcing them to fight back in order to avoid becoming a meal.For the most part this one here ended up being quite a bit more bizarre rather than outright horror effort. One of the main challenges facing the film is the fact that this one just doesn't seem to be concerned at all with logic or coherent motives, making for quite a challenging time here trying to figure out what's happening here. The initial plot of choosing this particular restaurant doesn't come up, how long the group's been doing this or how they even turned to cannibalism, making this so confusing as to their motives that it doesn't really strike any kind of chord at all because the inherent goofiness really undermines how they could've been portrayed. By playing them as frightening figures in an absurd situation and then gone off-the-wall with the goofiness could've been an enjoyable time here, but instead we get completely goofy characters acting in a totally confusing manner which really undermines this one considerably. That said, the goofy humor and rather jarring tonal shifts between everything here is another problem, as on the one hand there's certainly an attempt to make them seem tough and imposing with the way they hold the group hostage and begin spelling out the different games with them, but then it goes for goofy off-the-wall humor with the utterly irritating and endless manners in which they overtake the restaurant, deal with the group and basically just the very hard- boiled nature of not taking anything seriously despite the entire purpose for being there being to kill and eat them. That alone should've made this a lot more chilling in nature, but it's jarring tonal shifts make for a wholly off-beat experience. Still, there's a lot of positives on display here, which begins with the rather impressive kills here resulting in some rather brutal and graphic kills throughout that are just so silly while also being admittedly quite unique as well, and the fact that there's quite a large amount of really bloody deaths within here. As well, the comedy featured in here does get in a few good moments here where it generates a laugh due to the outrageousness of the situations presented here and really giving this the part of the film's overall best quality in the exciting and enjoyable pace here. This one doesn't really slow down all that much and stays involved for the most part, keeping this one going forward with a lot of interesting confrontations, lots of action and a generally fun air about it that gives this one plenty of bizarre and really entertaining parts to it as it whips through the zany situations. There's still some some problems here, but it's not that bad.Rated R: Extreme Graphic Violence, Graphic Language and minor sexual acts.

The only caveat is what's on the menu.Noel Murray says the film "seems little more than a lark for all involved, not a project with anything to say." That sums it up rather nicely. The gore is good enough for horror fans, the humor is there at times. And we have plenty of B-list actors in this thing. But what is the point? Unlike other recent horror-comedies (most notably the hugely successful "Tucker and Dale"), this never really seems to go anywhere.Is it worth a look? Sure. James Roday is a fun guy, and it is great to see him venturing more into writing and directing. But I feel like we needed so much more here.
