Gore - 3

There were a few good moments of tension and angst.

Creepiness - 1

No creepiness.

Plot - 3

This movie was okay. I almost gave it a 2, but it wasn't a waste of time. There were a couple of plot holes and flaws. I am still not sure if I really understand how the title ties into the motive since there is no cannibalism in the movie. And I would have liked it more if the antagonist had more of a backstory. It seemed like she was just supposed to be inexplicably crazy, which doesn't make for much of a story. The action in the movie got started way sooner than I expected and the movie kept me entertained and engaged, but there was a time or two when it seemed like the movie got dragged on by dumb character moves. I was pretty annoyed that I didn't get to see one of the major fight scenes, only hear it.
