It s nice to have your friends for dinner... — According to official statistics, more than 210,000 missing persons reports are filed every year. Some cases are never solved. — Now six friends head off to a country estate for... more » a weekend of bonding, bed hopping and home-cooked feasts. But their good times go very bad when they encounter a clan of slaughter-happy psychopaths with expert skills in butchery and a ravenous hunger for teen-meat pies. What follows is a brutal battle for survival, complete with shocking carnage, killer twists, and graphic reasons to avoid UK cuisine forever. It s THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE in the English countryside in this grisly debut from director Gregory Mandry that walks a knife s edge between tongue-in-cheek humor and teeth-in-flesh terror. Bring a strong stomach and a hearty appetite: British horror is back with a vengeance!« less

Gnaw is a British film in the vein of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. In fact, there's even a chainsaw scene. The basic plot is one you've seen a thousand times...a group of friends go to stay at a house in the country. They meet a nice old lady who feeds them meat pies. One by one, they are killed by a masked killer who takes them to his shed and turns them into meat. Really, no surprises here. Lots of gore and teenagers dying. A few gratuitous nude scenes with the ladies. If you're a fan of splatter films, you'll probably be somewhat entertained. If you're sick of all of the Chainsaw Massacre/Hills Have Eyes knock-offs, you should probably take a detour. Just not to any old houses in the British countryside.

Gnawing at my nerves

"There are so many terrible horror films being put on the shelves each day - this is one of the ilk. A complete worthless film, that lacks entertainment value - well I was going to list what it lacks, but it lacks everything, so I will save you the time. Bad actors, a weak and recycled to hell plot, weak effects... in fact there is nothing worth mentioning - Simply put - don't waste you time."
Another too stupid to live slasher flick.

"My title says it all. I did not care for any of the characters in this movie (the over-sexed couple, the cheating boyfriend with the side girlfriend pregnant, the too stupid to know girlfriend, and the nice guy). The gory parts were over done. You could see the killers from miles away (the old woman with the bad teeth and the killer who looked like any hillbilly, who was probably the only likable person). You get to know what was the main ingredient in the food the old woman made. There was nothing humorous in this film. This film was just so unbelievable.
There wasn't much of a story line and really after the first 1/2 hour you don't care. It's a shame because horror movies coming out of the UK were starting to get good. This one sets British films back."
Fair Horror film

"I rate this about at the middle of the road level. The acting is bad and the story is simple. The only thing that saved it, if you are a fan of gore it had a few gory scenes. Overall I wouldn't want to see it again."
Great new movie
