It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

CANNIBAL DINER is a typical indie horror flick that comes to us from Germany. The story is rural and at least half the running time seems to be padded out with scenes of a scantily-clad woman hiking through a dense woodland. Eventually she encounters some Texas Chain Saw rejects and a lot of screaming ensues, but the whole story is flat and lifeless. The cinematography is dark and too much of the screen is out of focus at any one time. I found it entirely boring.

I gave it two because of the hot models ruining around with tank top cleavage and short skirts.To think Herzog, Winders, Fassbinder, Lang, all came from Germany and now this awful film. Hard to believe. The writer seems enjoy chicks running around screaming, which I believe the screams were dubbed anyway.Other reviews are right, Wrong Turn, makes Cannibal Diner look like a student film shot on 8m.The lead actress sure spends a lot of time running through the forest and running though an abandoned warehouse. Oops that is the movie. Not to worry about dialogue, there really isn't any. The girls are hot, and I give the casting director the most credit.TGIF applies here, thank god its finished. Use chapter skip a lot, you will not miss anything. As for the jerky camera no light finale, um, been done before with a lot more style and narration.

There are worse movies out there than Cannibal Diner and there are a few things that keep it from being worse than it actually was. Cannibal Diner does start off promisingly with some atmosphere and tension, the music has an urgent and haunting vibe to it and the gore is thankfully not too cheap and not used too excessively. The camera work/editing and directing though were often frantic and abrupt and when they do slow down they manage to take slow to extremes. The movie is too darkly lit in places and while the settings have a nice Gothic look you couldn't properly enjoy it because of the state of the lighting and the way it was shot and edited. Cannibal Diner felt very underwritten with the dialogue sounding so awkward it was not easy to take seriously or understand what point was trying to be made. The story apart from the opening has no atmosphere, thrills or tension and just felt very pedestrian and overly-silly, with scenes that went on for far too long and didn't serve anything to the story. The antagonists, not looking terrible but also not mind-blowing either(true of most of the effects here actually), have little personality and no real menace, which made the conflict and threat really unconvincing. There's no better news about the acting, the actors look good and sexy but their acting is another matter, too often being stilted and repetitive. The chemistry is not convincing either with them sometimes being in their own world and not much else. All in all, could have been much worse but a lame movie in most but not all respects. 3/10 Bethany Cox

I didn't expect much from this film when I walked into the theatre, but it surprised me pretty well when I saw it. The actresses throughout the film are damn sexy, but their acting in some parts is pretty weak. The ending was too long and it had me waiting for the final scene, which then was pretty nice. All in all the film was very well made for a low-budget flick. The camera work in most parts was excellent and the music was great. It didn't have that much violence, only a few well-dosed violent scenes - but some nice nudity. If you are a horror fan you might wanna rent it on DVD - it's not a horror masterpiece, but a decent horror slasher to watch.
