Best movie of this year hands down!

The acting in this movie is really good.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

This is a movie with a fantastic, very original premise. It avoids (considering it's main theme) the 'easy' path to the slippery slope that leads straight to the trash / slasher type of B- movie that most such productions end up being. Yet, it also falls far short of its potential.It never manages to go 'deeper' and explore the reasons that lie behind it's premise; 'what is there left when one has and has tried everything there is to have and to try?' This is such an interesting and philosophically exhilarating topic that it could and should have been exploited. In doing this, it would have raised this film to an entirely different level. If it had spent time in the characterization of the protagonists, the motives that drive them and the omnipresent influence of our exasperated consumer society, this motion picture could have been a masterpiece. Alas, this wasn't even attempted, which leaves it stranded somewhere between a 'tame' slasher movie and a potentially great but thwarted artistic accomplishment.

Interesting to see what the term "Omnivore" actually means, especially in context to what the movie is about. Not really the same thing ... a different kind of "animal"(beast) if you will. But this movie is pretty far out there, not only thematically, but also graphically, so it's not for the faint hearted.There is also nudity and sexual situations in the movie, but those are not the graphic elements I'm warning you off, it's the violence, but also what you have to "digest" during the "course" of the movie (puns intended), that might make you feel bad. Predictable for the most part, this is an interesting look at the human psyche ... could've been more thorough on some aspects, but as it is, a nice little thriller

Omnívoros is a film to taste calmly. Its filmmaker Oscar Rojo shows us some of the most shocking images seen in theatres and introduces us into the world of social elites without morals which dominate the ones they consider inferiors –actually everyone that is not like them- at any price. To this "superior race" the use of violence is totally justified to achieve their purpose and it even works as another puzzle piece of the profitable business that is "cannibalism for rich people". The film removes consciences. It has some gore parts but it does not use them excessively. It does not provoke a blood show that may distract the audience; on the contrary it has gore in its fine measure. In fact Omnívoros is more of a Thriller than a Horror movie. Its frenetic rhythm catches you from the beginning –with a memorable initial scene- and it doesn't let you breathe until the spectacular finale. To this we have to add an original soundtrack that works with mathematical precision. The outstanding Fernando Albizu impersonates the owner of the cannibal restaurant, a man with no morals, with no remorse, a cold blooded man. Its character represents power and its manners are the ones of who has it all and achieves it all. It's the prodigious mind of the psycho killer. The disturbing Paco Manzanedo incredibly enacts the silent killer. Implacable, brutal, merciless… The perfect accessory to the character of Fernando Albizu. The film does not show a big variety of gore scenes –fortunately-, but the impact that provoke the scenes that appear is overwhelming. This may explain the high level of identification with the victims. You could say that you fear with them, you suffer with them and you fear death for them. Anyway Oscar Rojo has been able to suggest so much more than the images show. And what he suggests is totally terrifying. It is his great merit. To achieve the same other films have had to spend a big part of their budget in super expensive make up effects and in bulk quantities of blood. Although the screenplay is not perfect, the truth is that Omnívoros is a little big feature film that doesn't let you indifferent. I missed a film that based its strength –and what a strength!- in the idea and not in special effects. I wonder what would have Oscar Rojo done if he had counted with a higher budget.

Start good and the story is exposed for the first time convincingly. The staging is unfortunate, not only photography, production design, casting of actors and soundtrack are pretty crappy and is not due to be independent film titles could cite kicked four hard facts with which technical section has even school (topical examples: Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Blair Witch Project), here also there is lack of media artistic nullity, but anyway, Oscar Rojo strives disturbing and tell a story too good at first, it must be recognized in the first 50 minutes determined effort to overcome this director Brutal Box (2011), his debut unfortunate and expendable . But coming at the end it all comes down, Oscar Rojo does not know how to end the story, the final climax fails, fails also the credibility of an argument that attempts to conclude lacking common sense and logic. It is also in the last half hour where some actors are worse regrettable, especially the protagonist Mario De la Rosa, whose expressiveness is exactly the same in any situation dramatically, which would have a mailbox. Despite all this Omnivores I think it deserves a chance.
