I'm a big fan of bad movies, but this one isn't enjoyable at all. There's a secret government research lab (the basement of an abandoned house), and some scientist is making a monster. Of course it kills him, and some people are sent from Washington to investigate. Much of the movie is spent with these three idiots prattling about how bad they need to go to the bathroom, how they can't change a flat tire, etc. Some teenagers also wander into the abandoned house, and eventually the monster kills one of them. There are also some stupid cops who spend a lot of time sitting in their car and talking like idiots. That's basically two-thirds of the movie - government idiots arguing in a car, idiot cops being buffoons in a car, and teenagers yakking about teenage stuff in a dark house.In the end, the government people finally arrive and there's the incredibly crappy conclusion. Everything about this is bad, mostly the dialog, but the acting and camera-work take a close second. The whole film looks blue for some reason, it's so dark you can't see what's going on. Not that you really care.Overall, this movie has absolutely none of the fun or amusement that low budget movies can sometimes provide. Avoid it at all costs, it's almost impossible to sit through.

The scenario of this film is ridiculous. The government creates a monster in a misguided experiment in a lab that looks like a temporarily abandoned 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath house. The story was lame and forgettable, with only a few exceptions. The 'creature' 'effects' in this film are extraordinarily bad.. almost nonexistent really. It resembles a worn out gorilla costume, or possibly a Chewbacca, that had been fished out of a dumpster and then laden with 2 pounds of latex. A painfully common rubber mask is then festooned with large, cheap-looking teeth via a hot glue gun. The creature can only be plainly seen in the film while under shadows cast from colored lights and even then it is miserable in every conceivable way. Sadly the acting is just as poor as the creature effects. I checked, nearly all that actors have never had any other screen appearance. Its as if they just pulled people off the streets and drafted them into service.. which in some cases seems nonconsensual. In the film Dana Anderson (Jill Adcock) cares for the bad costume-abomination-monster and clenches its long plastic claws when it gets wounded by Uzi fire. The man who is hunting the creature has a mullet-perm and never removes his over-sized aviator sunglasses. His suit is also notable. The cinematography and editing are dreadful as well.. the film is shot with only two cameras. The scenes are always too long and from an awkward angle. I also seem to remember that great deals of the film are shot through a blue filter.. If you take into account the many other glaring weaknesses of this film, its lameness is intensified greatly by the poor craftsmanship. This movie is really hard to sit through.. It's a miserable film in its totality, without any redeeming factor. I would not recommend it to anyone.

It's very cheesy and very dumb for sure, with a couple of takes to the camera, but I still thoroughly enjoyed it. There's some creative gore and nice nudity that didn't just amount to a stabbing and a flash. You've got total dismemberment and skin pulling off the face leaving the skeleton and along with nudity some rubbing and sucking. That's not standard horror fair.I found Carnivore to be a time capsule to the end of the 80's and above my expectations. This is a bottom of the barrel indie flix, but they put together a monster suit that's not just store bought, designed a lab and built a haunted house from scratch. This is some inventive indie film making.I'd ultimately rank this a step below mediocre, it's much more entertaining then a lot of other garbage out there like Hobgoblins or anything by the Polonia Brothers. If you give this flix a score of 1 I don't think you were being very realistic with your expectations. All it really needs is a few more kills to make it really decent.

This movie was easily one of the worst movies I've ever seen. The monster looked terrible (it looked like a guy wearing nylons, a hacked up feather boa, and a very stupid mask), the direction was awful, the sound was beyond atrocious, and the only word that comes to mind when thinking of the acting is ham. Rancid ham. Added to all this, the story made little to no sense and was hard to follow. There is no way anyone should watch this movie.The only saving grace of this movie is the box it comes in. The cover is eye-catching and looks promising and the synopsis on the back makes the movie sound well-constructed, thought out, and interesting. Unfortunately, taking the movie out of its box is tantamount to entertainment suicide.
