Really Surprised!

Good start, but then it gets ruined

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Blistering performances.

Great gore, good kink, funny, low budget. Very unusual production/direction that I have not seen before. REALLY GORY. What else could you want in a potential cult film? More people need to see this. Also I would highly recommend "The Revenant" (2009). Same vein of unappreciated cult potential.

This is one of those movies you go into thinking you're probably not going to like it for any number of reasons - low production costs, comically misleading trailer, a cast of largely unknown actors - but when you come out the other side it turns out to be a pleasant surprise. The star actor takes a little getting used to which has more to do with the makeup artist than anything else. She's dressed like a pro football player, for one thing. Padded shoulders, thick black ink smeared across her face. But the writing is way above average which helps carry this delightful miscarriage through to its conclusion. Two of the actors are actually well-known for their comedic sensibilities. They both are on the side of the lunatics holding up a small-town close-knit family of diner workers (they're not really family but they act like it), one of whom stars in a little show called It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, where he assumes the role of a milk- sipping, possibly incestuous, brother of a couple of weirdo antagonists, and the other scored a bit role on stage with Dr. House, a role that he tackles well with more wit than comedy but still spot on. In this movie both shine and graduate with flying colors.For hardcore traditionalists even though the protagonist is dressed like a football player with sweet moves, the belle of the film is draped in a prize-winning ribbon as if to remind viewers that she's the prettiest girl on the set, but also has fun with a point made long ago by the American short-story writer Edgar Allan Poe who once penned the words 'The death of a beautiful woman is, unquestionably, the most poetical topic in the world.' And there's an excellent soundtrack to boot. However, what really makes this a prize-winning catch is the script-writing, along with a few unexpected twists thrown in there to appease the naysayers and the cynics. It's really a great movie. So if you're out there surfing the web for a new horror flick to watch to pass the time, do not miss this opportunity for laughs, shockin' awesome horror, and good old-fashioned family values with a demented weirdo atmosphere, look no further than Gravy. Personally I filed this movie under chance discoveries. Do with it what you will.

Wow,... must have been the people who invested in this movie that gave it a good review. Loved Psych hence the interest in this movie. Love a good horror flick and my funny bone is healthy but this flick...? Horrible. It just isn't funny and the gore scenes are stupid. The whole thing is stupid. The plot is weird without you believing in what the characters are doing which adds to the strangeness. You don't buy into the characters....they are badly contrived to the point they don't believe in themselves. Its just plain bad character planning which results in...actors forced into a part that can only result in bad acting. All is just weird and phony.Don't waste your time. I thought the caliber of Psych would spill over into this movie but far from the mark. If this was the point of the movie to be really disappointing....why?

My quick rating 5,8/10. First off, let me start by saying I really like the TV show "Psych". OK, that being said, James Rhoday wrote and directed this which is already a plus in my book. For a first film, this offbeat comedy (much more comedy then horror by far) was actually pretty entertaining. Basically 3 people kidnap 6 people at a bar for the soul intention of eating them. And how casual and nonchalant this is makes the whole atmosphere that much funnier. The jokes are often inside jokes,and over the top but still funny. The gore does not disappoint in the slightest. Each death in this movie is original to say the least leading up to a pretty interesting climax. Look forward to more from him and maybe even a sequel?
