red_blooded_monster The opening is probably the best part of the film. It's got a bit of suspense and a decent actress playing her part of screaming victim.The scene where the blindfolded girl walks into her own fate, with the misguided thoughts that its her boyfriend guiding her, was the best scene after the opening. I thought it was cleverly done and worked well.The film did go down hill after that (and before that actually) as the script was not so good and the characters were not very likable. The stereotypical characters are a bit boring, most of all the blond girl who makes countless mistakes and like always sets her self up many times to him kill her. I mean who actually even thinks about there phone when someone is trying to kill them, let alone go back for it. Unrealistic and annoying.The part where he gets he tongue ripped out is the most gore this film has to offer, it lacks any gore or a decent amount of blood that a film about cannibals would expect.I'm going to give this film 3/10, I'm a harsh marker and believe this is a decent film. If you've got a night where you've got nothing to do then i would recommend watching it to pass time.

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.

jinmoon This was a horrible movie. As someone pointed out earlier, the cinematography was good, which makes it even more baffling that absolutely no effort was put into making this movie scary. This movie had no sense of timing for horror because I wasn't scared, or even startled once. In addition, the plot as well as every single character was over the top cliché. The movie progresses incredibly slowly and nothing really develops. I will admit that the the acting was not at all bad. If the actors had anything resembling a real script to follow then this might have turned out OK. All in all its an absolute waste of time and inspired me to make an IMDb account and post my first review ever. I'm also not sure why this is listed as a comedy.

jowest83 Great film.A gripping storyline, filled with blood and gore, a definite watch for anyone into Horror films.Intriguiging location set in rural landscape add the extra suspense to this film. The actors are first class and the make up and effects team have done a fantastic job.I have watched this film a number of times and recommended it to quite a few friends of mine, that were equally gripped.This film should go far. I look forward to watching other films that Straightwire produce in the future.
