Excellent, a Must See

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Over a long holiday weekend, unable to escape the confines of their sorority house, a handful of unsuspecting girls are left behind to enjoy the quiet sanctuary.The normal house staff has taken off for the weekend, leaving the girls to fend for themselves.Thankfully someone was kind enough to send them a temporary replacement chef to cook their meals.However, when the girls start disappearing one-by-one, they begin to suspect something may not be quite right....So all you need to know about is is the fact that there are a lot of pretty girls in this, who get drunk and stoned, and kiss one another a lot.It's as if someone has made a really cheap movie with female friends, and getting them to kiss. It has a good set up and there is an idea there, but it's so poorly made and acted, you really are clock watching throughout the whole film.The cook being unable to speak English, borderlines xenophobia, and there is one good scene explaining Friday 13th Part 4, while there is a killing going on. It's inventive and the highlight of an otherwise poor movie.Plus this features the worst acted portrayal of a Policeman I have ever seen. He even says 'Cup of Joe'.Not worth seeing.

I found The Cook to be both enjoyable and boring at various moments through the film. Almost everything was inconsistent. One actor would deliver a memorable performance and the next...would leave something to be desired. Mark Hengst, as the cook, was the highlight of the entire film. He was both humorous and rather frightening at times. He played a cannibal cook pretty well, I thought. Some of the girls were attractive, with some nudity (I know that's one appeal to this film).The dialogue was mediocre...and with three screenwriters you figure they could come up with something better. Cinematography was one minute bland and uninspiring and the next fairly well done. The gore was decent...however, some of it looked particularly fake and amateur.The plot was almost non-existent, even for a slasher film. Essentially, the sorority house gets a new cook and he's, well, not very nice.I would avoid this unless you're particularly bored as you can find better violence, better gore, better nudity, better plot, etc. in many other slasher films. However, I do recognize that The Cook didn't have a large budget, and so the effort is admirable.Mark Hengst carries this film...with a less interesting cook this film would be dismal.

I was a bit worried for the first fifteen minutes or so that The Cook wasn't going to deliver. Some of the dialogue at the start is a bit clunky and when I first saw the guy playing the cook I was concerned that he wasn't going to be able to pull it off.As the movie progressed I was very happy to be proved wrong on all fronts and ended up having an awesome time watching this little horror comedy masterpiece. What can I say, I loved it and I'm looking forward to a sequel.If you're hoping to be able to take much of the movie seriously then you're watching the wrong film. This is played strictly for laughs and tongue in cheek at more or less every step. A lot of the humour is very dark, but somehow handled with a light touch.After the slightly shaky start, and once you accept the film for the cheesy fun-fest that it is you can enjoy it's off-the-wall handling and flavour. By the end I had come to think that the team that put it together had an inspired handling and quite a bit of originality going for them.It's not a big budget film, and it's a little shaky at the start, but as a fan of low-budget horror, 80's horror and horror comedy I recommend this film to those of similar tastes.

I've really had some trouble rating this movie. Through the first half hour of the movie I really had a feeling this movie was a complete waste of time. The special effects defied the laws of physics by sucking and blowing at the same time, even for a low budget movie, and the acting, from every angle, was to say the least very questionable. But still... Somehow there was something about it. Maybe it was simply that it didn't try too hard and didn't get too serious about the comedy being the most original ever. Or it could be the fact that it's got some very nice pairs of boobs. It's still unclear to me if it's supposed to be an actual horror movie, just a horror comedy or a comedy on the horror comedy genre. It really could've used a budget boost. If you think you can sit through a low budget horror comedy with a bit of nudity you might like it.
