Title: THE COOK
Post by: indianasmith on April 21, 2008, 05:51:40 PM
This was part 2 of my Sunday night B-movie double feature.  A group of sorority girls stay at their house for the weekend while the others go down to Cabo San Lucas for some hedonistic partying.  The 8 girls who remain behind form an incredible hodge-podge of B-movie stereotypes: the agressive lesbian, the little blond Bible thumper who is secretly a repressed lesbian, the slut, the stoner, the earnest pre-med student, the ditzy blonde, the serious literature student, and so on.  Their company in the house for the weekend is the Geek Study Buddy, who hooks up with the ditzy blonde, and the new cook, who is from Hungary and speaks no English.  Of course, the cook is a psycho killer who one by one slaughters the girls and serves them up, cooked to a tee and steaming hot, to the witless survivors.  This crew has got to be the most clueless batch of chainsaw bait in B-movie history - most of them don't realize there are murders going on until they meet their own demise!  Oddly enough, even at his meat-grinding worst, the cook comes across as a sweet, likable foreign guy who just needs someone to read the menu to him at the local eatery!  He saves the serious medical student for last, fixing her a nice shake and giving her a knockout pill before saying in Hungarian: "I am going to kill the rest of your friends now."

This movie is really pretty fun.  There is a fair scattering of nudity, all of which, as Joe Bob Briggs would say, was absolutely necessary to the plot; the gore is voluminous and impressive, and the detectives onsite at the end are hilarious.  With just the right mix of grossout gore and black humor (with a nice homage to the Friday the 13th series thrown in), I would rate this one a must-see for all horror fans.
