Seemed to have some promise when it started out, up until the point where the kids were left in the woods (and why the old nutjob left the van with them rather than tossing them out and driving off, no one will ever know). After that, it got pretty boring because there was just too much time between attacks, and I started fast-forwarding to see if there was any decent gore (and there was some). The monster looked like someone dressed in a monster suit, so wasn't particularly scary. For me, the real entertainment I get out of a monster flick is either comedy or gore (or both), and this didn't have enough of either. The ending was kind of funny though (the real ending, not the little scene at the end of the credits)

I believe the film is set in Snowdonia? So how do they walk for 2+ days without finding some sort of civilization? They could of literally walked across the country in that time far away from any monster. Pretty bad writing but everything else about the film is impressive for a low budget.

Overall Young Cannibals is your typical low budget horror flick. Not a great movie, but not bad. It did a decent job with what it was given. The actors are pretty good, the monster effects were decent, and the story is actually rather original. The main two problems I had with the movie was that it took a while to start. They spent about half an hour setting up the plot, which was excessive. They could have basically had it all done in about 5 minutes and gotten the ball rolling. A bit too much of an attempt at being deep and artistic. It's a low budget horror, it's not art, so don't try. Second issue was that the monster's rules were kind of erratic. Sometimes it's the slow creeping doom that stalks up on them. Other times it seems to be able to instantly appear wherever it needed to be. It might be methodical at one point, and then be able to grab someone and vanish like a ninja in a heartbeat. I think they needed to nail that down to be more consistent. Other than that, it's a quite enjoyable movie. Nothing award winning, but a decent way to kill an evening.

...hence my note. I'm not a production shill nor an idiot. I'm not comparing this movie to, say, Rosemary's Baby by giving it that rating, but I have no problem admitting that I really felt the urge to try to compensate a bit for the unfair average that it's holding currently - a 4 out of 10 as I write this -. It's a nice, low-budget creature feature made by and for people with a lot of love for 80's horror, and it shows. They achieved a nice atmosphere, cinematography was okay and made good use of the locations, camerawork was competent and, generally speaking, they achieved something that, for my money, is a nice and entertaining creature-in-the-woods flick that held my attention and didn't felt like it was insulting my intelligence. Oh, by the way, I'm sure that some people will downvote this review just because of what I'm about to say, but I don't care - I'm sure that it might help some people who come in here and look at reviews to help decide what to watch on movie night -: this movie is completely, 100% woke-free. As this is becoming something increasingly rare and, consequently, sought-after by certain people, I'm certain that this PA bit is bound to be helpful for someone. To the filmmakers, good job and thank you. Please make more, I'm eager to support them as you keep making them.

This movie has an interesting premise, but it goes nowhere. The acting is poor and the story is hard to understand for as simple as I think it is supposed to be. At the end of the day, not much happens and not much is scary. Its below average cannibal horror.

Its actually pretty good for the genre. Some scenes are just painful but overall with a name like "Young Cannibals" don't expect anything other than its genre.

Main character is fleeing the demon, and jumps in the car outside the antagonist's house. Car won't start, monster is coming. The antagonist will probably come out of the house when he hears the engine clattering refusing to start. The demon will probably catch up to her and leap onto the car. So what does she do? She looks behind her and sees a birthday present on the backseat. So she stops what she is doing to open it, and then has an emotional crying scene because it was such a touching and thoughtful gift. She then gets out of the car and grabs a broken bottle neck that she holds straight up in the air like Thor summoning lightning. She then faces the house which has all of its lights on and proceeds to open the door and use her flashlight to light the way in the house that has its lights on. The demon catches up to her and she throws herself out of the upstairs window. But did the demon break out of the mental hospital to be here tonight? No. He. Did. Not. That demon turns around and sensibly takes the stairs. Which gives the final girl 1 minute to remember she needs to push the button to start the car, and 2 minutes to continue to feel sorry for herself. But it doesn't end there.
