The movie covers on horror films are so deceiving these days...

Especially in this terrible film! On the DVD cover you have a creepy looking cannibal guy in which you don't even see in the film at all. Please correct me if I am wrong, but was the guy on the cover in the film? If he was, then I may have missed his apperance 1 of the 20 times that I feel asleep during this painfully boring horrible horror film. Hell...me and my girlfriends used take my fathers video camera when we were kids and create better films than this one. That is exactly what it looks like, it looks like something that was created with the family camcorder in your parents back yard and inside their RV! It is so obvious that this is low budget. I curious to know how much the actors got paid for participating in this disgrace of a film?! I love it how when she began eating his so-called "organs," the kidney's looked just like baked potatoes and the heart looked like steak...that part actully had some comedic value to it! This officially is the worse movie I have ever seen, I don't even know how a shi*ty production like this even makes it to the movie stores?! Please do not waste a cent on renting this!

Video covers have always been deceiving, that's how DTVs make money. This was an okay movie. I highly doubt you can make a better movie with a few bucks and a camcorder.

First: Anybody could make a better movie than Ulli Lommel.

Second: The argument "you can't make a better movie" is the most retarded argument in the world.

Third: Budget is not an excuse.

Let there be light.

1. not everybody can.

2. how is it retarded?

3. it costs a decent amount of change to make a movie

why are you trolling?

[–] yessey 15 years ago

1. Yes, they can... this guy is a no-talent hack.

2. Because just because you can't make a better movie you can still criticise people who can't make movies. I can't make them so I don't try... Ulli Lommel should try that out.

3. Have you seen The Blair Witch Project?

Let there be light.

Blair Witch cost approx. $60k to make. That's not change. Plus only one of the cameras was a typical cheap camcorder. The rest were higher grade and quite a bit more expensive.

I agree with you that this movie was garbage and Lommel should be banned from the movie business but it does take a bit more than a handheld camcorder and some pocket change to make a decent movie.

Obviosly Lommel didn't have adequate funding or he didn't know how to manage it. Either way, his movie making skills are terrible.
