Review of Craving

Craving (2023)
3/10
Wait a minute... what?
7 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
So, a small group of desperados barge into a local watering hole, much to the chagrin of the staff and usual customers. The locals believe that the armed intruders are there to rob and possibly kill them. The locals are wrong. The desperados were pursued into the bar by another armed party, a posse of sorts.

After chasing the desperados into the bar, the posse barricades the doors and windows from the outside, locking everyone in. Then, the leader of the posse announces to everyone that they've just locked in the bar that there is a monster among them, and that they have just one hour to identify the monster and turn him, or her, over to them.

Wait. What?

The unarmed locals, who knew nothing about any of this, are supposed to overwhelm the armed desperados, then identify a monster, and then overwhelm the monster, and turn it over to the heavily armed posse?

What sense does that make?

I know what the film-makers tried to do, but I also know of a similar movie, a gore-filled fun fest that does pretty much all of the same things that "Craving" tries to, and does them much, much better; "Feast" (2005).

Still, if you're bored out of your gourd, and not all.that fussy when it comes to cheesy horror flicks, you might be able to get by with this one.
