Synopsis

After stealing a huge stash of drugs, speed freaks Hector and Dorena plan to cook up an enormous batch of crystal meth and get rich quick. Hector's old buddy Merle has the perfect hideout/meth lab: an old, abandoned farmhouse in the woods where no one will ever find them. Unfortunately, no one will hear their screams either. Turns out, they may not be alone after all. It seems this farmhouse is the site of a horrific urban legend. Now, holed up together with nothing to do but snort, smoke and shoot up, the strung-out "cookers" fall prey to paranoia, private demons and terrifying visions which, whether they are hallucinations or hauntings, are equally terrifying and just as deadly!

Christine_Plymouth_Fury1958 I saw the high movie rating and read the great reviews, so I felt compelled to watch it. I've seen my share of "intelligent" psychological thrillers and such, but there was nothing of that here. Stupid, yes.Still, I forced myself to watch the movie, thinking maybe the Meth-head characters just didn't get any sympathy with me; and with that in mind, I thought I'd give it a chance and finish the story. But in all honesty, I could not see an iota of what the positive reviews raved about.Granted, the actors were convincing in their roles, but it takes more than that to make a good movie. It did occur to me that maybe everyone involved in this film was snorting something, hence, the awful outcome.To cut it short and save you the hassle, I found this movie to be utter rubbish and would not recommend it to anyone--not even a Meth addict.
sidyre "Blair Witch" was hailed as the pinnacle of ultra-low budget, ultra-small cast indie horror, but "Cookers" simply blows it out of the water. The suspense builds perfectly from start to finish in this film (both suspense between the characters and their surroundings and between the characters themselves) to an exhilarating crescendo. This movie cost next to nothing to make, yet the budget is reflected in neither the direction nor the acting. The direction may put some people off, but it so accurately captures the frenetic, drugged-out mood, that one cannot help but be drawn into the movie's very uncomfortable world. Brad Hunt is bound to start turning heads with several roles in upcoming major releases.More than being a horror ("suspense" or "terror" might be a more accurate description) it's a compelling story with good dialogue that is flawlessly delivered. There really isn't a dull moment. All in all, my only complaint about this film is its flimsy resolution--that being said, I can't recommend this movie highly enough, even to those who typically shy away from the horror genre.
drunkmothableep I wanted to like this movie, but many elements ruined it for me. The use of a fisheye lens throughout and choppy editing did not give me a sense of being in the world of the meth head, but it did make me think I was watching MTV for a few short moments. The movie never did seem to go anywhere and the acting was truly an excellent example of over acting. I love movies that give us a glimpse into the seedy underworld, but this film couldn't decide if it was a bad horror film or an even worse serious commentary on the horrors of addiction.
jeanna32 This movie totally freaked me out!!!! Even though I am only 18 and a freshman in college, I have been around several people that use and the movie was right on. Some parts scared the crap out me but I can't wait to see it again and take all my friends.
