The Cook

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.

I appreciate independent films and people trying to make a movie happen and they put their heart and soul into it. This was probably the case here. The story is typical horror Girls being chased by bad guy. The lead was so so she just wasn't grabbing my attention, she should be cast for more for a hallmark film. The other girls were pretty good, the stupid one just had bad lines..Anyways the story, the sets, the gore, the cast, all pretty good The lead (the cook) was intriguing all in all ***The negative was that we never knew why he hated and wanted to kill I would of liked to have seen the cook as a boy being harassed by college girls or seeing his mom die from drunk girls ..you get the picture..Revenge horror flicks are always the best.

I liked the fact that the killing scenes were quite realistic and not overdone. The attacker did a good job of playing warm/friendly, then breaking into his bad role, then the height of his anger. Even though everyone knows from the poster who the bad guy will be, the element of surprise was nevertheless still there as to the method and details. I thought the coeds for the most part pulled off their death roles rather well, considering that they are not accomplished actresses. The meals served at the dining table were convincing, as were the few meat prep scenes in the kitchen. What I liked most were the 2 heads, but thought they would have been more effective if shown a few more seconds. The bit of humor that was included was a nice extra.

A new Hungarian cook (Mark Hengst) arrives in a sorority house while a group of girls travels during the weekend to Cabo. The cook does not speak any word in English and is befriended by the medical student Amy (Makinna Ridgway). While the girls stay in the house, he kills one of them, Michelle (Stefanie Solano), using her meat to prepare the most delicious dishes for the girls while he promises in Hungarian to kill everyone in the house.

The low budget "The Cook" is an average comic slasher that has some goods and awful points. First there is no plot, only a new cook that arrives and kills the girls, without any development of his character or motives. The sorority house looks like a warehouse, and the behavior of the hot girls is more for sluts than for college student, with a group of potheads, lesbians and whores. The dialogs are among the most mediocre I have ever seen. When a person befriends another, the usual first question is how your name is. The nerd Amy befriends the cook and never asks his name. Mark Hengst is great, alternating sweet, humorous and scary faces depending on the situation. The joke with "Friday the13th: The Final Chapter" is probably the best moment of this movie. As a tradition in B-movies, most of the girls are extremely sexy and their partial nudity is very attractive and sometimes erotic. The gore special effects are reasonable for a low-budget movie. The predictable conclusion is funny and in the end this movie is watchable and not so bad. My vote is five.

Title (Brazil): Not Available

Just saw this and I was truly horrified. I mean I'm a big fan of bad movies and bad horror movies especially. Because usually they are brainless fun and totally watchable. But this is the opposite, it's entirely unwatchable and done with absolutely zero acting talent with some of the worst directing ever and script is just insulting to any viewer with IQ above 80.

This movie is much like Manos: The Hands of Fate, 100% clueless and inconsistent, but at least Manos was done by total amateurs and wasn't annoying. As a huge fan of bad flicks I'd say that The Cook is amongst the 10 worst movies ever made - and it's really really bad, there's no secret pleasure in watching it, so I'd only recommend it to people who can tolerate extremely stupid and one-dimensional characters, horrendous script writing and actors with zero acting skill (annoying as well).

This movie makes someone like Uwe Boll look good.
