Let's be realistic.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Jonathon Poe (Stelio Savante) interviews and lives with "the Chef" (David Fine) a cannibalistic serial killer. The soundtrack, lighting, acting and plot are designed to place one on a boredom coma. Part of a 10 pack of DVDs, " Dark Disposition."Very tough to sit through. Good for 1 punch on the Hacker's card.

I watched about 20 minutes of this movie before it became so irritating that I had to shut it off. The actors are delivering their lines so woodenly that is as though they are reading them from a teleprompter. I used the term "high school drama class"...but in fact, that would have actually been a major improvement. At least some of the people on screen would then have actually been actors. An incredibly stupid premise for an equally stupid movie. If you want to see a movie tied to Edgar Allen Poe, I would suggest 'The Raven'...as it actually uses genuine actors. It should come as no surprise that this 'direct to video' turkey would otherwise never have seen the light of day....If they had first shown it in theaters, they would have to have given the DVDs away for free...a it wouldn't even a bargain at that price.

One of the reasons I created an IMDb account is because sometimes, there are things you don't wish upon your worst enemy, and this movie is one of them. Personally, I think this kind of garbage should be rated Z, and it should be made obligatory for this sort of non-productions to have a big fat red Z on the cover so that everyone is warned that the product is an insult to 'below average'.The acting is awful. The story is awful. The effects, I won't even call them special, are awful. This movie is so awful that even the shoes of the cameraman's nephew's mother in law are awful, and they're not even in it. To be honest, I'm just trying to fill the 10 lines to get this over with JUST TO WARN QUALITY MOVIE ENTHOUSIASTS NOT TO WASTE THEIR TIME, so I can go do something interesting, like learning how to knit.Do yourself a favor. Unless your IQ is below 65, don't watch this, because it will go below 65 once you do. What the... Am I drooling??!??

This was very disappointing considering it was a horror/thriller with a character supposedly a distant relative of E.A. Poe himself, as if writing talent was passed down like hair, eye color or even athletic ability he still managed to become a brilliant writer. He is at a time where he hasn't worked in years & is in danger of losing his good name in the literary society so he takes this job as an order from his agent or face complete career failure. It consisted of a two week stay doing a biography of a Mr. Jack Conway who insist's on being called "Chef". Who just happens to be the brilliant and wealthy Dr. Andrew Casey a serial killer in which when caught by his wife became imprisoned at Marathon County Asylum for the criminally insane for eleven years. Oddly he is released, said to have been rehabilitated. He moves to Los Angeles under the alias Mr. Jack Conway. Upon Poe's first night at Conway's house he decides to toss in one of the several VHS tapes that were lying around in his room.This is where it gets weird for me because Mr. Poe discovers exactly what has been & continues to go on in Mr. Chef's house. Is he also that absurd of a fellow to simply discard what is taking place in front of his very eyes and decide to stay & enter the total murderous & cannibalistic world of Mr. Chef? Well it sure is immediately present from the start that there was no rehabilitation done at the asylum.Now as far as the film goes, it's no budget low budget and the acting is horrible. I don't recommend it, but if you have a need to feed your C movie horror craving & are hungry for some cannibalism then go for it, actually just avoid it period it's that bad. It's like the other review said, I found myself getting up to take a leak, get a drink & something to eat without pausing the film, it's that bad.
