everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Brilliant and touching
Lidia Draper
Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Sanjeev Waters
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

This movie is weird... I've always enjoyed the modern European cinema. There's tons of fantastic movies produced in Spain, France, even Russia. In fact, Europe and Asia (specially South Korea, China, Thailand, Indonesia and Japan), have manage to surpass even Hollywood (it's still in a downfall, in quality terms). Spain, has a remarkable list of horror/thriller/suspense movies, like the franchise REC, The Eye of Julia, among others... so, it was with great expectations that I saw this one... so let me start:1. The plot in IMDb is wrong... no one is trying to buy a house. The movie is about a journalist that is making an investigation about underground restaurants. In the midst of the investigation, he was invited to an underground restaurant that served human meat. If you're not in the "cuisine" thing (like Ramsay's or Olivier's TV shows viewers), this plot is somewhat empty, for you... 2. The acting is neither bad or good... it seems empty... only that...3. There is some nudity, along the movie, but it tends to be "blurred" by the violence of the scene itself...4. The movie builds around food, and cannibalism, but, with the exceptions of the meat preparations, there's almost no shock around the scenes... I don't know why, but the whole movie seems to be forced...5. I liked the soundtrack... for me, it's the only good point of the movie itself...So, if you "dig" cannibal movies, try the oldies... Cannibal Holocaust, for instance... this one, for those who are not into food, as an art, is very boring... if you are interested in food, and enjoy Ramsay's programs, and are addicted to food, not only as a physiologic need, but also as interest, you may find it interesting... for me, is a "no-no".

Interesting to see what the term "Omnivore" actually means, especially in context to what the movie is about. Not really the same thing ... a different kind of "animal"(beast) if you will. But this movie is pretty far out there, not only thematically, but also graphically, so it's not for the faint hearted.There is also nudity and sexual situations in the movie, but those are not the graphic elements I'm warning you off, it's the violence, but also what you have to "digest" during the "course" of the movie (puns intended), that might make you feel bad. Predictable for the most part, this is an interesting look at the human psyche ... could've been more thorough on some aspects, but as it is, a nice little thriller

I do not agree with the first review posted. Omnivorous doesn't have any social analysis or critic perspective about an elite. Its just about people that kill and eat others for fun. And all is commanded by a man who had an unpleasant childhood.The suspense created at the first half hour when the main character begins to explore the clandestine restaurants its spoiled later, because everything becomes absolutely obvious and meaningless. In addition, the acting is dreadful. And many things remain unexplained. The idea its not bad for a thriller or even a gore movie. But non of this its accomplished here.

Start good and the story is exposed for the first time convincingly. The staging is unfortunate, not only photography, production design, casting of actors and soundtrack are pretty crappy and is not due to be independent film titles could cite kicked four hard facts with which technical section has even school (topical examples: Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Blair Witch Project), here also there is lack of media artistic nullity, but anyway, Oscar Rojo strives disturbing and tell a story too good at first, it must be recognized in the first 50 minutes determined effort to overcome this director Brutal Box (2011), his debut unfortunate and expendable . But coming at the end it all comes down, Oscar Rojo does not know how to end the story, the final climax fails, fails also the credibility of an argument that attempts to conclude lacking common sense and logic. It is also in the last half hour where some actors are worse regrettable, especially the protagonist Mario De la Rosa, whose expressiveness is exactly the same in any situation dramatically, which would have a mailbox. Despite all this Omnivores I think it deserves a chance.
