Horrible...Horrible...Horrible...

"Carnivore was shot on video, even the DVD has a picture quality of a VHS tape. In fact... was shot on VHS because it sure doesn't even appear to be shot in digital video...The sound is like a raw mix, you can hardly understand the dialogue most of the time. The acting is so bad that it is just that, B-A-D. The creature (looks like a halloween suit with cheap fake fur) and special effects completely fail. This movie even tries to be funny and again it fails.I like low-budet "so bad they're good" horror movies, but this film would bore anyone.This isn't a good "monster movie", it isn't even one of those "so bad it's good" movies. There is not a single thing which is good about Carnivore...P>One last thing to mention, it states that it is Widescreen, Director Commentary, Trailer, Behind The Scenes, etc. It has none of those features it states it has on the back of the DVD box. There are no special features except scene selection, not even a trailer. Very misleading, but i can't imagine anyone wishing to view any additional material for this."
LIARS!!!

"I saw this dvd in a $$$ pile at .....The cover looked good so I bought it.It sucked!The picture quality is terrible and the acting is even worse!On the back they say that there is director commentary,a featurette,trailer,subtitles and more,but all they had was scene selection!Just like every other dvd made!The guy characters wear pink and the girls have big hair and look like hookers!The monster is so fake and the props are cheap!There are some cheap scares that we've seen in just about every monster movie.Such as the monster's hand comes through the wall and the monster comes out from behind a corner.You can't even hear what the people are saying!This should not have been made!Don't waste your money!Get Critters or Gremlins insted."

"Words cannot describe the shame with which I look upon the moment when I looked at this 6 dollar DVD at Target and thought "hmm... looks fun...nice glossy packaging..... and look at those features!"Oi. If you are looking into the purchase of this DVD, its a good bet that you like to find a good gory creature thriller, and have likely stumbled across more than a few stinkers. With the exception of TROLL 2, this one is likely to top them all. Not since Troll 2 have I seen a movie this insulting in its ineptness. I say "insulting" because it genuinely felt like the filmmakers were mocking my woefully misguided purchase of the 6 dollar dvd cause it looked coolThe only true laugh that you can manage comes at the end, when the creature and the fbi woman have a "bonding" moment. Its so pretentious and utterly laughable that it goes beyond insulting.Truly I was exited about the special featurette, so that perhaps I could have some fun seeing just what the heck they were THINKING when they made this movie. No luckTHERE ARE NO SPECIAL FEATURES ON THIS DISC!!!! NONE!!!!!OUTRAGE. The final insult. I want my 6 bucks back. don't even think of wasting yours. This movie isn't worth the space it takes up in your DVD case. I wouldn't give it any stars if I could"
CARNISNORE

"I have to comment on the review by the director's brother. While I can understand your defense of your brother, it still doesn't make this a good movie. If there was a lot of hard work that went into this bomb, it certainly doesn't show. Not one of the "actors" should have even been put on screen; the effects are entirely laughable; the sound and lighting are so far beyond professional standards, I don't see how a studio could have released such a horribly made movie. So Mr. Kurtz, pat your brother on the back, but don't think the rest of the world can sympathize with such lack of talent in film-making. Obviously, this is one horror movie to avoid."
Any review over 2 stars is fake

"Too lazy to sign up.
I have this DVD. There are no special features and you can see that the "brother of the director" has explained why that is, here on Amazon. I thank him for that, at least it's an explanation.
But I say, who cares if this DVD is missing special features? This movie is terrible. I'm serious, this is the worst movie I have ever seen, and I have watched some really bad stuff.
I'm not exaggerating. Anyone giving this over 2 stars is lying to help this movie's Amazon rating. I hate fake reviews! The only reason someone would give it 2 stars is because they really love terrible movies and collect them. That's fine, but I don't love bad movies so I'm giving it what it deserves. Actually it deserves a NEGATIVE 5 stars, but that's not an option.
Why is this movie bad?
The script, the acting : embarassingly bad but I understand some people enjoy that.
The sets, the lighting: Horrible, no excuse for this! Even if it is a low-budget movie. This is still terrible. Bad filmmaking, period. I have seen some REALLY low budget films that manage to pull it together more than this. This is just incompetence/laziness on the part of the filmmakers.
Quality of the picture/sound : Sound is the *worst* I have ever heard in any movie VHS or DVD, no exaggeration. The picture looks like it was shot on a video camera that was considered a cheap piece of junk even in 1983, when this was filmed. It's THAT BAD.
The monster : Worst monster I have ever seen in a movie, and you never even get to see the monster! You just get to see "through the monster's eyes" as it stalks around the house. This is "accomplished" with very bad effects, like the kind you'd see in the very first music videos ever made (on top of the horrible picture quality, which I already mentioned).
In conclusion, this is NOT a movie to buy if you collect horror films. It is the movie to buy if you collect "worst film ever made" kind of movies.
Buy this movie if you collect JUNK and are proud of it. It still isn't worth over 2 stars. This movie isn't hard to find, either. I won't say the name of the store because I know Amazon will delete it. But you can buy this DVD at [most popular store in America where you can buy almost anything for cheap] for like 3 dollars.
