Traveling through central Florida for research, a man and his friends find themselves abducted by a psychotic tenant and forced to undergo extreme starvation then fighting other prisoners for their entertainment, forcing them into an extreme test to survive.Overall this one was another disappointing and frankly unimpressive Torture Film without too many positives. As is usual in these types of films, the main purpose of this one is the fact that so much of this one is undone by the rationale of logic and common sense that it becomes merely laughable to continue to sit there in such situations that ultimately become dull and lame. The fact that a large majority of this comes from the fact that so much of the film is simply sitting around their cages waiting for the fighting to occur does seem to keep that rationale held off so late into the film regardless of where it occurred there's nothing here that makes this seem like what's going on has any relevance to what they're dealing with motivations. There's just way too much of that throughout here, and it's not only taxing to get through but to then get through it with that for their logic and reasoning is only more frustrating than before with it really going for the lamest motive possible. Likewise, it's nearly impossible to get into so many other sections of the film here as there's just so much of the film that's not really fun to get into, from the lame rescue attempt that comes up short, the group holding them hostage that aren't scary at all but only remain so because of the condition they're held in or the rather clumsy way this brings them around to being captured by the group makes this incredibly lame, dull and padded out really for much longer than it needs to be. Where this one really works, and about the only point for it, is the savageness of the kills and fights throughout here, going for an animalistic way of fighting that's brutal and designed to kill more than anything else. There's a great sense of urgency and seriousness to these, and coupled with the savage gore for them really makes these quite worthwhile and the only part of this to really be enjoyable through the heavy set of flaws. Those are just too much for this one to overcome.Rated R: Extreme Graphic Language, Extreme Graphic Violence and Nudity.

When I read the plot to 'Starve,' I knew I was probably going to get 90 minutes of people starving to death, and doing whatever it takes to survive. Then halfway into the film, I started to think to myself - this is just going to be 90 minutes of watching people starve to death, doing whatever it takes to survive... and lost all interest. It's really not the writer/directors fault - I'm to blame.I actually felt sorry for the antagonist here, because I only had to deal with this horrible film for 90 minutes, but this poor soul has been doing this his entire life. He called it 'entertainment,' though, so he obviously lost his mind long before boredom had a chance to set in. If I ever reach that mental state, I'll give 'Starve' another chance, since you obviously have to be borderline insane to enjoy anything this nonsense has to offer. I'll give you guys a quick rundown - bad guys catch and torture bad actors by starving them, forcing them to do bad things to each other, and whoever does the worst thing, they get some McDonalds or something. Fun stuff. Hell, I'd think feeding them fast food would be torture enough.Random Ramblings of a Madman: I was eating during the film - and never once felt bad about it.

I saw this movie recently during my usual Halloween movie binging last month. Caught this movie on the SyFy Channel. Honestly I wasn't expecting much but was disturbingly surprised it was really good. It was a surprisingly"tasty" Halloween treat in a candy basket of the usual re-runs and underwhelming low budget movies airing on TV during Halloween time. Overall was interesting, entertaining, scary, and kept me engaged. If you like scary, suspenseful, disturbing movies then you should check it out if you can find it. Looks like it will air on Syfy a couple more times in December when I searched their schedule today. Overall a tasty scary treat that leaves you hungry for more.

Came across this movie on SYFY last Monday. It's a movie whose nastiness is almost topped by its weirdness...so obviously any true horror fan worth their salt needs to seek it out! The story is about drifters being held captive, and forced to fight others for food or starve to death. Don't want to say too much but plenty of ugliness and creative battles ensue. This movie has the perfect mix of scares and a really bizarre ending. The locations also are very creepy, which just adds to the tension overall. I hear the SYFY premier was well received. People want to see good stuff, even when it comes to small budget films. This is right there...
