Leofwine_draca GNAW is a cheap, shot-in-the-dark, British cannibal horror film about a group of young friends who are stalked and menaced by a masked slasher who plans to put them on his menu. It's a grim and scuzzy entry in the torture porn genre, a film whose sole existence is to show people being killed in increasingly grisly fashions.Sadly, it's an awful film to sit through, with very poor cinematography which stays dark throughout to hide budget constraints. There's shaky-cam work of people being chased through the woods, more bad acting than you can shake a stick at, and a general lack of storyline which makes the whole thing a chore to sit through. Why it's described as a comedy horror I don't know, because there's no comedy in it whatsoever, funny or otherwise.

Scott LeBrun The legacy of "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre" continues with this UK production that has much juicy violence to satisfy gore lovers but little else. When all is said and done, this really doesn't bring anything different to the party. It's best recommended to those horror fans that just want some undemanding thrills. The story has a group of young British folk taking a vacation at a secluded country home who are then victimized by the local savage, who loves to turn human beings into chopped meat. They dwindle in number quickly mainly because none of them are too bright. Granted, some of them are likable enough. At the very least, the screenplay shows that all of them are fair game; there are no guarantees of anybody's survival. That doesn't change the fact that this is all very thinly written and routinely directed. The movie depends a little too much on its shock value and its overdone jump scares. It does create some effective atmosphere from being set in the real country. The soundtrack is a good counter balance to the grim and sadistic goings-on throughout. There are some nice touches on occasion, such as things being shown from the perspective of a character who's been blind-folded, and the choice of mask for our antagonist, which is somewhat creepy. Production design and widescreen cinematography are impressive, the pacing adequate enough. But what few assets there are can't really make up for a familiar premise and presentation, right down to the ending. The performances by most everybody involved are nothing special, save for the delicious scenery chewing (or maybe I should say gnawing) of Carrie Cohen as Mrs. Obadiah. All in all, this is one gore fest you can safely skip unless you just can't get enough of this sort of thing. Five out of 10.

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.
