Wendy Ide Observer (UK) Oct 7
While it’s not the most polished piece of film-making, you have to admire Burke’s commitment to carnage. Go to Full Review Phil Hoad Guardian Jul 15
3/5
Too diffuse and unfocused it may be, but Protein has a hotline into great British bathos. Go to Full Review David Jenkins Little White Lies Jun 25
3/5
There’re no wheels being rein­vent­ed here in terms of tone or nar­ra­tive, but it is a very sol­id genre runaround that is ele­vat­ed by its occa­sion­al and wel­come laps­es into soul­ful intro­ver­sion. Go to Full Review Norman Gidney HorrorBuzz Oct 21
7/10
At once a grisly serial killer movie, an engrossing procedural, and a comical crime farce. The pieces don’t exactly come together like they should but it’s still a fun watch. Go to Full Review Matt Glasby Radio Times Jun 24
2/5
The combination of comedy, kitchen sink drama and cannibalism is a bold one but, like that human protein shake, it proves an uneasy mix. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
