In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Derry Herrera
Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Brennan Camacho
Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

It starts as a promising horror movie with some potential, but after about half an hour it drifts of into horror-comedy, featuring some silly situations and funny lines. It's still entertaining, I guess. But in a different way. Instead of tension and suspense you get laughter. The amount of violence is not over the edge. There are some brutal scenes. They are violent enough to be interesting for fans of the genre and short/forgettable enough to be tolerable for the everyone else. A good compromise, if you ask me.However, the funny parts don't last forever and after that the story gets darker again. I mean, they have a child killed and eaten. That's some tough stuff. Not anyone would dare to show it. But for the same reason it feels kind of innovative and "fresh" - so to speak.Sometimes it's the small things and details that make a movie special and I discovered quite a few of them. Like the one time when they stopped at a diner. The woman went to the toilet and laid some paper on the seat before she sat down. You don't see that everyday. So yes, "Starve" felt quite original.The story has some interesting aspects. It's basically about how to break the willpower of people and make them do things to survive. In this case a man catches bypassers on their way through a ghost town, imprisons them and threatens to let them starve unless they kill each other for food.I felt well entertained for most of the time. But since it also had some weak parts in the story and in general lacked tension, I give it 7/10.

There is nothing good about this movie at all. Even in the worst movies, I try to find something positive in it, so here it is... the BEST thing I can say about this movie is this: The writing is so terrible, it's hard to tell if the acting is that bad. And disregard the fake reviews from the people that obviously either worked on the movie, or are getting paid for a positive review. I really wish IMDb could come up with some sort of filtering process for that.I understand that sometimes in movies, they have to make characters make stupid decisions or act stupid to push the story in the direction they want. I hate it when they do that, but I understand they do that sometimes. That is all this movie does. At no point does anyone make a logical decision and at no point does anything make sense. I mean, the one gimp's primary weapon is a CO2 fire extinguisher!? And I don't mean it hits people with it. It just sprays people with it and they just go down. I promise, if you watch this TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE movie, you will just spend the entire time thinking none of this makes any sense. It's terrible and quite possibly the dumbest thing I've ever watched.

I'd give it 0 stars, but the lowest I can go is 1. Don't believe these "reviews" that are giving it 8 and 9 stars. They are people from the filming, it's obvious. Just look at Mike Koskie who was the first to review it and he's also listed as the production assistant. What kind of production assistant has to give his own films 8 stars, just to build it up? Pathetic, it makes me not want to watch any film he's involved in, just for that alone. I decided to give it a try because there was nothing else on. The plot is OK, but the acting is horrible. The music choice sucked. It's more funny than scary. It shouldn't be listed as horror, it should be comedy. The move made no sense. It was suppose to be about an urban legend about feral cannibal kids, but only 1 kid was in the whole movie, and that was some black girl that ended up getting killed and eaten by an adult man. This was about as scary as Barney, and more boring. I kept getting on my computer because I was so bored with this group of actors and I'm being generous calling them that. If you haven't seen it, don't waste your time. You'll be mad you waste 2 hours of your time. I've seen better acting on Jersey Shore. I was very disappointed with this movie, because it could have been a decent movie, with better actors, better directing and was produced better. It was gory enough, that was the only bright spot.

I was flipping through the channels when I stopped on this movie. It was just starting but immediately I was drawn in. The characters were very well picked. They played the roles magnificently. You could really feel the emotions portrayed. It's very gory and unlike a lot of scary movies they actually show the action impact. I really likes this movie and I don't like a lot of scary movies. My Boyfriend was Scared!! Now that's something! I think this movie should be on the list of "Movies to Die For". By the way the lead female actress was damn good at her role. She played it so well and even reminded me of myself if I were ever in that position. Movies these days miss the point of being genuinely scary and seeing that this was just made in 2014 I thought I wasn't going to be a lot of green screening gone wrong. Than I watched it and I was proved wrong! I admit it! Seriously though, very good movie. I recommend this move to everyone except people that pass out when they see blood because there's a lot of it!
