The Cook Audience Reviews

Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!
or shadmi One sure thing you can say about "The Cook" is that the plot of this movie is innovative, it is not another movie about a group of teens who get lost in a distant road, it is something new and refreshing. This movie is far away from being a psychological horror with a deep script and a thrilling soundtrack, it is a funny and easy horror comedy. As i said before, it is not an high quality movie but "The Cook" is just make you laugh and smile and that is what we should expect from those kind of movies. The thing I liked the most in this movie is that it does not shows you only the scenes of the killings, the blood and the internal organs, (like a lot of other movies) it shows also the growing relationships between the characters especially between lance the geek boy and bunny the hot girl. In summary, if you are looking for a deep and qualitative horror so keep searching because it is not this movie, but if you are looking for a nice, funny and easy horror movie, so this is the one for you!
TdSmth5 In a sorority some girls go on a vacation while others stay behind. We will follow those who stay at the sorority house. They're an entertaining bunch: an innocent fanatic Christian girl who is the object of lust of an aggressive girl, a medical student who does nothing but study, a slutty girl, a trio of friends made up of a dumb blonde and two foul-mouthed lesbians who spend most of the time high, an exercise fanatic who has a guy over to tutor her, but she doesn't want anything else with him.Their new cook arrives, a Hungarian who can only say "OK" in English. He prepares them delicious meat dishes. But little by little the girls start disappearing. The cook doesn't appear as to them as a suspect because he's always covered in blood hacking meat. The pretty medical student sort of falls for the cook even though he tells her what he will to do her friends, in Hungarian, and she thinks it sounds sweet.The dialogue is pretty funny and the girls are given good and distinct personalities. There's some gore, and a bit is gruesome. There are a couple of twists near the ending. Overall an OK lower budget horror movie saved by the fun girls and also the cook does a good job as a mad serial killer.
whensuncomesup The Cook is pretty much what I expected for a low-budget movie – entertaining but not spectacular. Its appeal would be primarily to high school and college males and females. Technically, it was far better than a lot of low-budgets that I've watched. But what detracted from this movie, in my opinion, was casting the girls as relatively unlikeable – either virtual whores or lesbians. How can we be sympathetic with these girls being killed?? The special effects were better than average for a movie of this type, but suspense was mostly lacking after the first girl was slaughtered, cooked, and served. The only suspense was which one would be next and which one(s) would be spared. Oh, and whether the girls would turn on the cook and kill him instead. (Maybe there was more suspense than I thought!) Loved the Lance character....excellent acting without any special dialog! The Cook was also well played but as a director I would have toned down his facial antics just a little. Worth buying - worth watching a 2nd time using slow-mo to watch the killings and the closeups of the kitchen preparations!
spider41 I suppose I expected a more original idea but much less professional acting. Most of the actors were better than I'm accustomed to seeing in low-budget flicks. The idea was not too creative, but the murders were well done. What I would have liked is more attention to the "forensic scene" -- which I thought had the weakest acting, incidentally. The scenes at the 2 final locations were unexpected and therefore superb. As for the settings, in my opinion they were much better than I had expected of a low budget indie. Set dressing equally good. Lighting was also superior for a budget as low as this one was said to be. Good closeups, 'though I thought they could have used a few more.
