Woodyanders A savage and predatory hairy humanoid creature that's the result of a government experiment gone awry escapes from a lab located in the basement of an old dilapidated house. Naturally, two teenage couples decide to check out said rundown abode. Guess what happens next? Boy, does this dreadful bilge strike out something rotten in every possible way: Clumsy (mis)direction that allows the dull, uneventful, and meandering narrative to unfold at a painfully sluggish pace and fails to generate any much-needed tension, momentum, and creepy atmosphere, infrequent and poorly staged monster attack scenes, a drab and talky script that gets bogged down in way too much tedious chitchat, tacky gore, plain cinematography(the cheesy monster POV shots in particular are pretty sad), groan-inducing attempts at dumb humor (the two inept comic relief federal agents are especially pathetic), obnoxious and unlikable characters, a generic hum'n'shiver synthesizer score, a laughably lousy rubbery-looking beast, uniformly cruddy acting from a lame no-name cast (top thespic dishonors go to Jill Adcock as the bitchy Dana Anderson and Randy Craig as the doltish Sheriff Marty Holt), and, worst of all, a dismal and dissatisfying "it ain't over yet!" sequel set-up non-ending. On the plus side, Pamela Anderson shows some decent boobage and at a mere 80 minutes it's mercifully short, but that's about it. A real dud.

microfame Even thinking about this film enough to write this review is causing a burning sensation in my brain, similar to the night I forced myself to sit through it. I feel compelled to add this much-deserved one-star rating to help offset some other reviewers, (most likely the unfortunate victims of head injuries),who have given this film two or more stars. Watching this film should be considered as a torture replacement to the now frowned-upon 'water boarding'.I thought I had found the bottom of the movie-quality well with "Alien 3000", but "Carnivore" made me realize that the penny had much further down to fall. How do you portray an effective cat-and-mouse plot in a single family house!?!? There's only one hallway upstairs, yet the characters moved around each other like they were in some inter-dimensional Tardis. And those Federal "agents" who were supposed to be funny made me want to lay my face into a deli meat slicer and turn it on. I DO invite you to watch it, since misery loves company.....

Ulysses186 The scenario of this film is ridiculous. The government creates a monster in a misguided experiment in a lab that looks like a temporarily abandoned 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath house. The story was lame and forgettable, with only a few exceptions. The 'creature' 'effects' in this film are extraordinarily bad.. almost nonexistent really. It resembles a worn out gorilla costume, or possibly a Chewbacca, that had been fished out of a dumpster and then laden with 2 pounds of latex. A painfully common rubber mask is then festooned with large, cheap-looking teeth via a hot glue gun. The creature can only be plainly seen in the film while under shadows cast from colored lights and even then it is miserable in every conceivable way. Sadly the acting is just as poor as the creature effects. I checked, nearly all that actors have never had any other screen appearance. Its as if they just pulled people off the streets and drafted them into service.. which in some cases seems nonconsensual. In the film Dana Anderson (Jill Adcock) cares for the bad costume-abomination-monster and clenches its long plastic claws when it gets wounded by Uzi fire. The man who is hunting the creature has a mullet-perm and never removes his over-sized aviator sunglasses. His suit is also notable. The cinematography and editing are dreadful as well.. the film is shot with only two cameras. The scenes are always too long and from an awkward angle. I also seem to remember that great deals of the film are shot through a blue filter.. If you take into account the many other glaring weaknesses of this film, its lameness is intensified greatly by the poor craftsmanship. This movie is really hard to sit through.. It's a miserable film in its totality, without any redeeming factor. I would not recommend it to anyone.

womiworu Ok, I bought this movie as kind of a gamble buy. I must say as a gamble I absolutely lost this one. This movie is awful. At several points i had to turn the TV to full vol. just to hear the characters speak.However... This movie does have one redeeming quality, besides that very arousing sex scene(joking). This movie is perfect to watch at about 4 or 5 in the morning with a bunch of friends, you will laugh your heads off at it. Have fun making fun of this one people!
