BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

red_blooded_monster The opening is probably the best part of the film. It's got a bit of suspense and a decent actress playing her part of screaming victim.The scene where the blindfolded girl walks into her own fate, with the misguided thoughts that its her boyfriend guiding her, was the best scene after the opening. I thought it was cleverly done and worked well.The film did go down hill after that (and before that actually) as the script was not so good and the characters were not very likable. The stereotypical characters are a bit boring, most of all the blond girl who makes countless mistakes and like always sets her self up many times to him kill her. I mean who actually even thinks about there phone when someone is trying to kill them, let alone go back for it. Unrealistic and annoying.The part where he gets he tongue ripped out is the most gore this film has to offer, it lacks any gore or a decent amount of blood that a film about cannibals would expect.I'm going to give this film 3/10, I'm a harsh marker and believe this is a decent film. If you've got a night where you've got nothing to do then i would recommend watching it to pass time.

scootmandutoo There are 2 sets of reviews for this flick. The first, obvious batch, is from those involved with making it, they give it incredible raves. Those have been rightfully called out for being bogus.What I do not understand are those who have made this out to be one of the worst horror flicks ever. It's not even close to being that bad.Come on, any horror fan who decides to watch this flick knows exactly what they are going to be viewing...a cinematic marriage of "Motel Hell" and "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre." As if any of the "Saw" sequels, or "Fridays the 13th" sequels, or "Halloween" sequels (except for #3) were going to offer something original and different? So why rag on this one for being derivative? Were you expecting "Inception"? As opposed to some other low-budget flicks I have seen, this one offers some pretty good cinematography and while the characters are fairly stereotypical, the acting is actually rather serviceable.This film does have a few very gory moments, including a tongue-removal (a la "Mark of the Devil"). But in many other scenes, the gore is mostly left off screen. I think this was partially due to budgetary constraints, but I didn't mind. I watch horror more to be scared, not to be completely nauseated.The major flaw I found with "Gnaw" was its essential incompleteness. Without giving too much away, was the vegetarian fed 'meat' in the captivity which the film suggests, but doesn't show? Her fate? Unresolved. Perhaps, intentionally. Also, why would someone find an elaborately painted fingernail in their dinner and not react? Shouldn't there have been a scene where the innocent victims suddenly have a realization about what they are eating, while they are eating? Not in this movie, where a cohort rushes in with a revelation that quickly overshadows the discovery.And yes, why on earth would the 3 not attempt an escape together? Having said all that, this film did deliver its share of creepiness.Was it as awful as some posters would have you believe? Naw.

thejukewolf This low budget (and surprisingly high quality) English horror flick pulls no punches and delivers a steady stream of chills and jump scares from the menacing residents of an isolated country hotel. If you loved Texas Chainsaw Massacre then this is for you. Features no famous faces, but this aids the believability of the desperate situation facing a group of young holidaymakers who pick the wrong hotel. Gore factor is fairly high, and executed well, as some films in the genre try too hard with this element. If you have a weak stomach then stay away. As a horror veteran I rated this film and feel it falls into the category of "pure horror" and delivers a fresh perspective on an age old format..... LH.

jowest83 Great film.A gripping storyline, filled with blood and gore, a definite watch for anyone into Horror films.Intriguiging location set in rural landscape add the extra suspense to this film. The actors are first class and the make up and effects team have done a fantastic job.I have watched this film a number of times and recommended it to quite a few friends of mine, that were equally gripped.This film should go far. I look forward to watching other films that Straightwire produce in the future.
