Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!
RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Mary Star I always wondered what kind of meat was in the street tacos, now I know what could be inside. :)This was a good movie, the movie actually had a story that you could follow, unlike a lot of other movies, it was entertaining and different from a lot of other films, it wasn't what I expected because it has a twist ending. I enjoyed watching the performances and looking at all the sexy people, it was nice to see how latinos were being represented. I really enjoyed how the killings took place, especially when Don Taco & Memo went looking for more Carne on the streets of Hollywood and Beverly Hills. I enjoyed the funny one liners, it reminded me of when movies were actually funny.The murders were imaginative and some times funny, I think it was a great low budget movie, made with a lot of heart. It wasn't an A-list movie but I don't think that was the directors point. I think the director wanted to make a movie that was fun, entertaining and thought provoking and I think that he did that. If you watch movies for anything more then entertainment then you should get a hobby that involves other people and go out side and have fun.
ASouthernHorrorFan "Carne: The Taco Maker is an ultra low-budget satire fed by hunger for horror. The film is directed by Rene Rodriguez and deals with cannibalism, urban cultural disparity and twisted family dynamics. It is described as the first Chicano slasher/ comedy. The story is basically "Motel Hell" in the inner city. It is an odd tale that features a family that kills and dresses human meat for a curb side taco stand. Don Taco has the best tacos in town, and makes some sweet cash feeding the communities taco cravings. Without spoiling the film, there is a seedy criminal element addressed, as well as inequality that inner city residents deal with on a daily basis Rodriguez explores in "Carne: The Taco Maker". The effects blending such pleasant communal revelry between the people, laid against the disturbing reality of what is happening behind closed doors, gives us a dark satirical parable.The acting in "Carne: The Taco Maker" is pretty weak, almost all characters flub their lines at one time or another, and none of them seem to really understand the characters they are playing well enough to make you believe completely. I had a hard time connecting or relating to them on a personal level. With that said, the way they deliver the lines, the situations that unfold, and the mental break-down style of surreal story telling Rodriguez produces somehow creates a bizarre that is entertaining. It comes together more like low-budget trash cinema. The off-beat atmosphere, Thorazine inspired character interactions are reminiscent of "Motel Hell", and " The Gay Bed & Breakfast Of Terror". It will no doubt lend itself to the list of indie cult classics. The kill scenes and special effects are on the cheap. I don't think there was much of a budget for this film, and it shows. However the scenes are unapologetic, and straight forward, there is no pretense about this film being b-movie/ trash cinema on the cheap. "Carne: The Taco Maker" starts out rough, makes you question whether it is worth viewing at all, but but twenty minutes in I found myself enjoying the campy characters, ridiculous premise, and fun kill scenes.Overall "Carne" becomes an entertaining flick, filled with madness, satire, and a body count. It isn't going to be a film for everyone, but there is a place for ultra low-budget trash cinema in indie horror and "Carne: The Taco Maker" has earned a spot in that cult movie list.
Czechpoint_Charly This was marvelous. It's like a combination of Delicatessen, Sweeney Todd, The Room, and any Robert Rodriguez movie. This was intended to be a B- Movie, but it goes much farther than that; the lack of budget shows in wonderful way, the acting would bring a tear to Ed Wood's eye, and that screenplay--- I wish I had my own copy of it to see how it compared to that cinematic gem.There's not much one can say with the risk of being unbelievable. This film is a treat, though. Hopefully, it will pick up, become subject to drinking games, have shirts made with classic lines, and above all, become the next midnight masterpiece.
