DVD Review: Carnivorous (2008) - Page 2

En route, the beer-guzzling driver sideswipes Becky with his monster truck and kills her, sending Alan into a scotch-induced rage and forcing him to draw another picture with the pen (which still lights up and writes well considering how long it’s been).

Cue giant unconvincing CGI reptile animation. Also cue viewers’ incurable boredom and sense of meaningless. While you’re at it, you might as well take your cue and return the DVD to the store whence it came and demand your money back.

Carnivorous is an awful film that has been unleashed onto an unsuspecting public from North American Motion Picture Entertainment, a company with way too long of a name to produce crap like this. I suppose it’s a good party-till-you-puke film, as it would probably be a lot more fun to watch if you’re drunk and high, especially when DMX pulls out a bazooka from his extensive collection of voodoo instruments and then abruptly seems to walk off from the picture entirely.

The DVD sent to me for review was a screener copy, so I can’t give you any fair critiquing on the audio/video/special features content, but I can imagine I would have been as “fair” with them as I was with the movie (which sucked, in case I did not iterate that properly enough).

Watch Anaconda III instead. It at least had David Hasselhoff in it as opposed to DMX.
