Review of Appetites

Appetites (2015)
5/10
Not great but better than expected
27 December 2021
A serial killer is seducing tattooed women and then killing them. Then he meets a (seemingly) untattooed woman and figures she's the one. What he doesn't know is that she and her family are cannibals. The romance turns into a clash of killers.

I had very low expectations for this as it looked and felt B-grade schlock-horror. It is that, but has some redeeming qualities. The plot is interesting and edgy. The graphicness of the violence adds a grittiness and edginess that you don't see too much in B-grade slasher-horrors. Performances aren't as bad as they could have been.

This is not to say that this is some sort of hidden gem. It's far from that: the production values are still quite poor and all the positives I mentioned are only relative to your average slasher-horror. Still it's entertaining and interesting enough to pass the time.
