| Horror Action Comedy Thriller

A gut-wrenching, non-stop roller coaster ride through the hellish underbelly of inner-city America. A birthday celebration at an upscale restaurant sets in motion events that bring Sissy, her brother, Mikey, and friends, Kenny and Barbie, face to face with the macabre world of the Boneboys. Inspired by Jonathan Swift's cannibalistic tale A Modest Proposal, the Boneboys are international predators who deal in human flesh - dead or alive. Their hunting grounds are the cities of the world.

They really butchered this one. I'm more shocked than the creature with the electric collar that this film was able to wrangle the budget that it did. Having watched every crappy slasher flick to ever hit a red box I can confidently say this is the WORST of them all. The first two minutes when they are in the restaurant eating cake are by far the best. By the end I was praying for cannibals to come eat me so that I wouldn't have to endure anymore of this movie. The writing was terrible, consisting mainly of screaming and guys saying "bitch" every other word. The make up and costumes were laughable, the old man with the gun looking for his daughter? Was that a leather mankini with gun holsters???? Also the scene where Barbie flashes the other car, was that a female CPR mannequin whose boobs they used? Because they sure weren't an actual persons. And where did the rocket launcher at the end come from? So many questions left unanswered. To all of those who have compared it to Texas Chainsaw Massacre, please a take a lap. And then take another because you clearly are delusional. Praying that I never have the misfortune of watching another film that involves the writer and/or directors of this one. Save your time and money and watch any of the other shitty slasher flicks on the red box queue.

Let me preface this as many reviewers start: I signed up to this site to write a review on this movie. Though it wasn't so bad. The acting was lacking, of course, but what could we expect from a cannibal horror movie set in a subway? The female actresses are beautiful and the plot is great for all slasher fans. The ending may make you squirm in the Rob Zombie ways but please, there are so many terrible flicks and even more worse plots that you can see on a midnight review. If you're a fan of old school slashers, forget what you see on the internet and watch this movie. The guts and gore at the end may cater to your taste. Really, if you're a fan of old school horror films with glowing faced female leads getting disintegrated, ignore all bad reviews and check out this movie.

This is the worst piece of crap I've watched in recent memory.I watch a lot of poor horror movies with shitty plots but this movie really takes the cake.I've never written a review on IMDb before but I was inspired to get up and head to my computer to give this film a one star rating before the credits even finished rolling.Anyone giving this film more than 4 stars should have their account deleted and be banned from this site, it is seriously a travesty to rate this movie that high.For god's sake do not watch this movie.

Best way to describe this move was that it was all over the place. No characters were fleshed out, no back stories, no reason to love the "final girl." It's a shame because I enjoyed the lead actress in "Bad Kids Go to Hell." Sure there are old school actors in here that TCM fans will get a kick out of, but even they are glossed over. The characters come in and out of scenes that drag out and don't seem to go anywhere. If the writer just stuck to writing another TCM sequel maybe things could have worked. Maybe. The director seems to have no idea where he wants to go with the story. I'm all for quirky characters and random acts of "what the hell" moments, but this was too much. And that ending...I guess you could say it was a fitting ending to such a mess. Don't believe the high marks that some other reviewers gave this movie. But don't take my word for it, watch it yourself if you think I'm being harsh in my critique. I saw this on Netflix streaming and for every stinker of a horror film such as this, there are some great ones that are available this month such as Maniac, Grabbers, American Mary, and VHS2. Even Texas Chainsaw 3D was better than this and that's not saying much!
