Watching this film made me regret the invention of the DVD. I really wish The Cook had been on VHS, because then I could have broken the cassette and used the tape to wipe my ass. It's THAT bad.The story concerns a bunch of skanks who get left behind at their sorority while the other girls go Mexico for the weekend. There are three stoner skanks (Nina Fehren, Noelle Kenney and Justine Marino), a brainy skank with a face full of moles (Makinna Ridgway), a man-hungry skank (Stefanie E. Solano), a Christian skank (Brooke Lenzi), a lesbian skank (Penny Drake) and an aerobics work out skank (Kit Paquin). None of these actresses can actually, you know, act and their characters range from truly detestable to honestly annoying. A substitute cook (Mark Hengst) who speaks no English shows up at their sorority to prepare their meals for the weekend and he proceeds to kill everyone. A bunch of nonsense happens that is either logically or physically impossible and the movie thankfully ends.Words are almost incapable of describing how horrid this film is. The writing sucks. The acting sucks. The direction sucks. The sets suck. It's not exciting. It's not scary. It's not funny. It's not sexy. There are only two things that prevent The Cook from replacing H.P. Lovecraft's Behind the Wall of Sleep as the worst movie I've ever watched.1. There are a couple of scenes where raw meat is chopped up and fondled that are quite disgusting. The scenes are meant to be stomach-churning, so at least these filmmakers did something right.2. While these filmmakers obviously have no talent or skill, they also obviously understand that they're making a piece of stench-ridden cinematic garbage. So, they get a couple of points for self-awareness.One thing about The Cook makes me wonder. There is always something that these sort of no-budget, no-talent, crappy horror movies can have going for them. They can always have plenty of nudity. Even the most abominable work of cinema can find plenty of attractive women willing to take their clothes off for their big "show business break". Yet, despite having 8 reasonably pretty girls in the cast, only 2-and-a-half of them get naked and they are unclothed for a combined total of roughly one single minute. So, this pathetic trash doesn't even have enough gratuitous nudity to titillate a horny teenager.So, while I must still admit The Cook is not the absolute worst thing I've ever seen…it's damn close. It barely qualifies as filmed entertainment and should not be viewed by anyone except death row prisoners because watching it makes execution, whether it results in Hell or oblivion, seem like not that bad an idea.

In my opinion, this movie was actually quite humorous, but in a cheesy way. No part of this movie was actually scary, besides the fact that he is the creepiest cook ever. Dialogue wise, this movie was just filled with profanity and sexuality. The fact that they show the cook cutting up his victims into eating portions is just way over the top. The acting was not all that great either but from the cook it was alright, he gave the creepy sense of him, specially when he was chasing his victims. Overall this movie disappointed me , and i give it a 4/10. I would not recommend watching this movie with family, as it can get awkward, actually i don't recommend watching this movie at all.

You have to watch this in the right mind set. If you're looking for a horror movie full of frights, unsettling scenes, terrified victims, and nightmares in the weeks to come after viewing.... well, this isn't it. However, if you're looking for a horror comedy that will have you giggling, watch this one. The cook was hilarious, going from all friendly to his passionate killing very smoothly and entertainingly so. The deaths weren't creative but they were certainly a tasty addition. My husband rented this for the "boobs" promised but while certainly creative (and unbelievable), they didn't live up to either of our hopes or expectations. This is a great horror comedy that is at the same moment, a soft core porn that seems as if it's trying to not be a soft core porn, meaning more a tease of a promise than the actual tease. I'm thinking this one may have to join our collection for when we're bored and want a good laugh.

There are a lot worse movies out there, but yes this is nothing more than a typical bad horror movie. It follows the formula very well, with sex, nudity and gore. The camera work was actually decent in this film, but the cinematography wasn't. The script and acting weren't _too_ bad all things considered. What I think was done well was the Cook himself - he was Hungarian and understood English but didn't let anyone know that and spoke to everyone in Hungarian telling them how he was about to kill them, while the sorority girls just found him charming. I enjoyed that. Then he would use the people he killed to make into dinner for the rest of the sorority girls - but the dinners were really disgusting all-meat dinners, yet no one bats an eye? And I mean, really disgusting looking rancid meat. However the actors in this movie were really REALLY annoying, and they did all deserve to die. The nice, sweet girl was annoying as hell, and the one guy in this movie - who the hell talks to their member like that? Wow was that stupid, embarrassingly stupid.Spoiler (dont read if you care to not know the end): The one good thing is that everyone gets killed in the end. And you do enjoy these people being killed as they are so annoying your happy they're done away with.
