SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

TheLittleSongbird Was drawn into seeing 'Child Eater' with a cool poster/cover, a very intriguing if not creative premise and as someone with a general appreciation for the genre as said many times. That it was low-budget, which from frequent personal experience is rarely a good sign due to that there are so many poor ones out there, made me though apprehensive. 'Child Eater' is a film it doesn't do enough with its potential (although there are far bigger wastes of potential in film) and could have been much better. 'Child Eater' is very weak with a lot of big problems. It certainly could have been far worse, considering the large number of films seen recently being mediocre at best and terrible at worst.Lets start with the positives. The setting is atmospheric and spooky and 'Child Eater' could have looked far worse visually, was expecting a cheap looking film and to me that wasn't the case here.'Child Eater' has some suspenseful and creepy moments in the first third and it started off on a fun and intriguing note. Albeit, there is nothing new here, it's all familiar territory and executed in old-hat fashion. The second half also takes itself far too seriously and gets incredibly idiotic, a very completely different film feel here. The creepiness dissipates completely fairly early on, with the horror, suspense and tension being nowhere near enough. Things start not making much sense and gets silly, with one of the most ludicrous and easily foreseeable endings ever. The acting is not amateurish, but it's also fairly unremarkable.Further issues are that it was clear that it was written in haste. There is a very rushed and careless feel to the story, especially in the second half where confusion and choppiness can be found in editing and narrative, and the underdeveloped and scrappy script likewise. Then there is some padding and aimlessness that also gives the film a dragging sensation. The characters are flimsily developed, annoying and bland, the direction lacks focus and the music and sound editing are far too intrusive and obvious.In summary, weak. 3/10 Bethany Cox

The Couchpotatoes Well, the least I can say after watchin Child Eater is that I am not impressed at all. The poster looked like it could be something creepy but in the end it's just mediocre. Not only the story, but also the acting. It was just not that great, to say it politely. It might be a low budget movie, and there is nothing wrong with that, but that doesn't mean it has to be of mediocre quality, and unfortunately it is. The end, where the climax should be and where it normally always is, is sometimes so dumb you wonder how they come up with it. How the hell can you be afraid of a blind evil creature? How can you not outrun that or just kill it easely? All questions that you will have at one point, and for that alone Child Eater is just a stupid movie.

Edwin Again another horrible terrible VHS video home. Please start to create the minus -10 . Low cheap budget movie, no actors, dialogue by force, no production, no director, this is a cheap low budget movie made by a bunch of neighbors in some redneck area in USA no writer, no history, nothing, no FX nothing, really terrible movie no waste your time download this horrible terrible movie. For sure the good comments are the families and neighbors of the people who make this terrible VHS home and the poor producer and director. This people and his director must be ban to produce or make another domestic VHS home movie. Bad terrible movie

redrobin62-321-207311 I gave this movie a 4 but I'm actually being generous. The poor points were the amateurish, non-believable, clichéd acting. Another poor point was the uninteresting, amateurish clichéd kills. And another poor point is the uninteresting, ill-conceived, amateurish, clichéd direction of the plot. There were so many bad decisions by the director that the movie just collapsed on itself nearly 3 minutes in. Who would bring a knife to a gunfight? Why, the babysitter, of course. Who would heal so quickly, after suffering a deep knife would to the abdomen and having one's left eye gouged out, in one night that they can continue searching for the bogeyman?Why is the one-eyed woman, a former victim of the bogeyman (or whatever he calls himself) attacking the police who are there to help her and stop the madman from doing his killings? This point was never explained because she died. I'm guessing it was just in the movie because they needed more kills and the town was as empty as a cookie jar in a kindergarten class.Where did those wings on the bogey come from in the end of the flick? He can fly? How come we never saw that? What child walks around calmly in the woods carrying their bloody right eye in their hand?Why is the boy's father living so far away from civilization that his phone has no signal? (Oh, yeah. Duh. It IS a horror movie). One. Cliché. After. The. Next. Worth your time? Absolutely not.
