It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Even thinking about this film enough to write this review is causing a burning sensation in my brain, similar to the night I forced myself to sit through it. I feel compelled to add this much-deserved one-star rating to help offset some other reviewers, (most likely the unfortunate victims of head injuries),who have given this film two or more stars. Watching this film should be considered as a torture replacement to the now frowned-upon 'water boarding'.I thought I had found the bottom of the movie-quality well with "Alien 3000", but "Carnivore" made me realize that the penny had much further down to fall. How do you portray an effective cat-and-mouse plot in a single family house!?!? There's only one hallway upstairs, yet the characters moved around each other like they were in some inter-dimensional Tardis. And those Federal "agents" who were supposed to be funny made me want to lay my face into a deli meat slicer and turn it on. I DO invite you to watch it, since misery loves company.....

this is the absolute worst movie i have ever seen well it is about a tie with Texas chain saw massacre 2. where to begin on bashing this film. oh well lets start with that gay monster. OK what kind of thing was this it looked like an albino furby on steroids. i almost cried when i saw what it looked like. next the acting. alright i wont even call it acting lets just say it was looking like a total douche in front of the camera. this was so stupid i mean all they do is get drunk have sex and probably get raped by the freakin furby. OK light work. what lights it was basically like looking in your attic with no light you cant see a thing. alright sound quality. i pretty much dubbed everything that they said because i couldn't hear it and i really didn't care what they said. so basically they waisted ten years of their life. i really hated this movie if you watch this i hope you can get your money back.

A government experiment goes horribly wrong when their animal test subject escapes and goes on a killing rampage within the house it was stored in. It just so happens that a group of teenagers show up in the house with beer and sex on the mind. The beast decides to eat them one by one...until there is nothing left.I saw this title in the bin for five dollars, normally if I were to get a crappy flick for five dollars I wouldn't care. Although, here we have Carnivore, and I think I should not only get my five dollars back, but a dollar for every god for shaken minute that I had to sit through this piece of garbage. Having the 85 dollars won't make me any happier, or even make me forget Carnivore...but it's the least the makers of this film could do.Some titles that have made me want to put a bullet through my head include: Rollerball, Envy, Belly, Introducing Janet, Son of Mask, SuperBabies: Baby Geniuses 2 and anything from Uwe Boll. But I would gladly watch those films over this any day. I know there are those of you out there that can't believe this, won't believe this, but it's true. This film is that bad and it warrants the TURD AWARD, for WORST FILM EVER!!!!The audio is so horribly bad, it fades in and out throughout the entire running time. I had the volume up full and still had a hard time hearing things. This accompanied by the total darkness the film is covered in makes this a treat for the eyes and the ears. I know that there are films with low budgets, but this is lower then student film quality. There are many crappy B horror films out there that I don't like all too much, Basketcase being a prime example, but I respect it on some level. I can't bring myself to like anything in this film. The one and only part in this film, other then the useless nudity that accompanies these horny filmmakers, is one death scene. It was horrible, but horrible is a step up from what this movie offers.Should I even mention the acting? It is obvious to anyone that in a film like Carnivore you'll be served some laughable people on the screen. Alas, Carnivore manages to give us something completely horrendous then you wish to watch a film with Carrot Top and Paulie Shore as a comedic duo. That's right I went there. The script, if there was ever one, is inane. A secret government organization is in the basement of a house, and the entire government experiment consists of one or two scientists. I can't remember how many there were and I don't want to. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that the Carnivore, which is basically a fur ball with legs, drinks beer. At least it didn't end up having sex with anything....poor Basketcase. Finally, Carnivore makes a film like Campfire Tales look like The Godfather. Everything you can possibly think of is wrong with this film. Did they even try? Well it doesn't appear so here and please god, if anyone has the unfortunate task of watching this film, let them die quickly.

With an unknown cast of actors, terrible sound quality and even worse picture quality, and a plastic monster probably stolen from someone's house one halloween night... it's a miracle this pile of garbage was even released. It had the right idea for a horror movie; have a pretty slack story, so to make more room for scares. but... the plot in this movie is in its own category of garbage, being a mix of the classic teens-enter-the-haunted-house-and-bad-stuff-happens idea, and some retarded sci-fi crap that just plain doesn't fit. and well... the movie also lacks as a horror for the very poor, even more predictable, and incredibly few, scares. the puppet-like monster is to slow to make it a jumpy movie.*spoilers after this point*The story: a mansion is used by the government to contain a research lab of high importance for developing a new type of creature to be used by the military. something goes wrong (naturally), and the creature is free to roam the whole house (prior to was contained in the basement). some teens decide to check out this 'haunted house' and for about 45 minutes, nothing happens to them. it is very dull, slow, and unsuspenseful. not to mention, the FBI (i think?) and some local police slowly make their way to the house, where their exciting journey (driving a car on the road) is shown for probably 15 or 20 minutes in total in the movie. it's just pointless!!the Good points: the kills. hahahahaha if you enjoy low budget, hilarious, overdone gory kills, then this is your movie. if anything saved the movie at all, it was the 3 or so people that died. i could not believe how hilarious the kills were. they were just so unbelievable. (made all the better by the fact that every other part of the movie is so boring; i didn't expect them to be so entertaining).OVERALL: 1.5/5 SUMMARY: the whole movie in every aspect is poor quality, except for the ridiculous (but far and few) kills.
