trashgang This is Gregory Mandry first attempt to direct a movie. Did he fail, no and yes. But the way it failed was more a fact due the low budget and the weak script. It starts pretty well but once the victim is captured by the disguised killer you can see were it goes wrong. The killing is done off-screen. Not that I mind but the result of the killing is also not shown. But if you look who is in it as actor and who are the writers or the team behind it than you see that they all are involved in Zombie Diaries 1 and 2. So clearly a bunch of friends trying to make a horror.The killer isn't convincing at all, why he's wearing a mask is never explained. When the gang is going for a weekend to a house that they hired the landlady is clearly involved in the killings from the first time she appears. The acting was okay but you never get involved into their characters. Someone is having an affair with the girlfriend of his girlfriend and some want to have sex and you see things coming but it is never expanded towards their characters. When one of the girls is being captured she's bear breasted but once the chainsaw of the killer is shown she just sits there and waits to be hacked. You know what I mean. I won't going to say that it was all that bad, some effects were okay like the acid scene and the scene with the pitchfork but overall it lacks here and there. For buffs it will be a disappointment but for teenagers it will be a delight.Gore 1/5 Nudity 0,5/5 Effects 2/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5

scootmandutoo There are 2 sets of reviews for this flick. The first, obvious batch, is from those involved with making it, they give it incredible raves. Those have been rightfully called out for being bogus.What I do not understand are those who have made this out to be one of the worst horror flicks ever. It's not even close to being that bad.Come on, any horror fan who decides to watch this flick knows exactly what they are going to be viewing...a cinematic marriage of "Motel Hell" and "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre." As if any of the "Saw" sequels, or "Fridays the 13th" sequels, or "Halloween" sequels (except for #3) were going to offer something original and different? So why rag on this one for being derivative? Were you expecting "Inception"? As opposed to some other low-budget flicks I have seen, this one offers some pretty good cinematography and while the characters are fairly stereotypical, the acting is actually rather serviceable.This film does have a few very gory moments, including a tongue-removal (a la "Mark of the Devil"). But in many other scenes, the gore is mostly left off screen. I think this was partially due to budgetary constraints, but I didn't mind. I watch horror more to be scared, not to be completely nauseated.The major flaw I found with "Gnaw" was its essential incompleteness. Without giving too much away, was the vegetarian fed 'meat' in the captivity which the film suggests, but doesn't show? Her fate? Unresolved. Perhaps, intentionally. Also, why would someone find an elaborately painted fingernail in their dinner and not react? Shouldn't there have been a scene where the innocent victims suddenly have a realization about what they are eating, while they are eating? Not in this movie, where a cohort rushes in with a revelation that quickly overshadows the discovery.And yes, why on earth would the 3 not attempt an escape together? Having said all that, this film did deliver its share of creepiness.Was it as awful as some posters would have you believe? Naw.

Marvel Devitt This is a list that I have compiled of CRAP that makes horror movies totally suck:1.Creepy lullaby music and mysterious la-la singing out of nowhere. 2.Predictable villain one liners(which sometimes are awesome, but not here.) 3.Lame music during sex scene. Pitiful. 4.Predictable death sequence. 5.Obnoxious college student characters that take FOREVER to die! 6.Total lack of murderer's personality. No psychological fear. Boring. 7.Cellphones. In my humble opinion, movies that fail the horror genre in these ways are all too common in modern cinema, especially in the 2000's. At least I could laugh the discarded fashion choices of films from the 90's, but these bratty college kids are to familiarly irritating to laugh at yet. I want my precious hour and sixteen minutes back, you bastards.

nj_mcintyre Crickey! this has totally put me off booking a holiday cottage... for good.Sh*t you're pants scary. I can understand that people may find it disturbing and that it is very twisted in many ways but this a genuinely terrifying film and my opinion great fun to watch.You know you are watching a good film when you feel shudders run down your spine, you know your watching a good film when you look around the house to check if someone's there, you know you are watching a good film when you feel so involved in the film's element and you can't escape from it! I just hope there is a sequel soon. It's strangely addictive being petrified, the team behind Gnaw have certainly pulled out all the stops here. Fantastic.
