The low-rating for "The Young Cannibals" with a consensus that it is a bad film, would lead one to believe that its shoestring budget is to blame. But that is not the case. Like myself, anyone who watches a film like this enjoys low-budget horrors and keeps an open-mind, but what "The Young Cannibals" ultimately suffers from is the basic writing - nothing happens. Most of the film consists of the characters running and screaming in the woods. When the monster does appear, it looks half-decent, but then it is back to more monotonous running around and screaming. It is wasted from a lack of imagination.
Wouldn't have thought a film about cannibalism could be so boring.
