I unexpectedly really liked "Gravy". I went in blind and was expecting a zero-budget schlock horror, but it wasn't that. Multiple known names in the cast; a few performances missed, but also several which were shockingly great, so it doesn't qualify as "so bad it's good". The real strength is that they managed to thread the needle on tone, and it gets HUGE brownie points for using a They Might Be Giants song in the soundtrack. On the surface it's horror, and it's not "horror-comedy" in the way I normally expect that term to be used; there aren't jokes or punchlines per se, nor 4th wall breaks (although it does have some wacky Loony Tunes sound effects in several weird places). It's mostly just "absurd", in a way that serves the horror premise, but in a surreal way that gives a "funny" vibe. More "funny-weird" than "funny-haha". It's uncomfortable, and it just clicks. The tone is 51% "Saw" and 49% an episode of "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia", and that's a sliver of the Venn Diagram which shouldn't exist. Before I watched this movie, on paper, I would not have expected to like it, and I think there are plenty who won't, but I'm so glad I took a chance, because there is definitely a percentage of people for whom this intersection of "absurd" and "horror" just works. It made a convert of me.

I thought this was a great movie. Is it deep and thought provoking? Hell no. But is it a fun Halloween cannibal dark comedy? Hell yes. Hillarious.

A quirky and fun horror-comedy that might not have much of a point, but doesn't really need one. The cast is terrific when it comes to selling the off-the-wall dialogue their characters have and creating great chemistry with their banter. It's not easy to make cannibals endearing, but somehow 'Gravy' pulls it off. It's a film that gets every mile it can out of its single location, small cast, and low budget. For me, this is one of the best horror comedies I've seen in a long time and I recommend it to everyone who knows that a movie doesn't have to be "great" to be worth watching. 'Gravy' is quite simply a good time and that's probably why I enjoyed it so much.

Although a talented cast and crew keep this party lively, the lack of a point becomes a problem.

"Gravy" left a bad taste in my mouth, but for those with an eye for a potential cult film, it may be deliciously perfect.

[It] succeeds where so many other horror-comedies fail by remembering to be funny first and shocking second. Having a tasty script helps, too.

For everyone who says they want something different in the world of horror, cast your trepidations aside and take a bite. This Gravy is delicious.

Fans of cannibal movies may be satisfied enough by the buckets of blood, but cinephiles who actually want their horror movies to be good won't ask for seconds of this Gravy.
