You're in the mood for a gory, and I mean GRUESOME film? Watch the clichéd-filled and grisly film: Offspring. Honestly, there's no other reason to watch it.

A group of Nethanderals (literally) have survived the ages and love cannibalism. Mix that with today's time and a whole lot of blood with a family terrorized.

I admit that this is my fault, that I haven't actually watched this movie for over a month. I generally will watch a movie and attempt to review it within a day or week of the viewing as it's still fresh in my memory. All I remember of this movie is that it was enormously gruesome, make that: unnecessarily grotesque, and it reminded me a lot of the equally unnecessary and blood-soaked film, Gnaw, but better due to acting and direction.

One thing I can say about the movie with the time between viewing and reviewing, is that, apparently, it wasn't too memorable. I do remember horrible, horrible human beings – whether stuck in ages-ago time frames or today's time, that deserve the punishment they get.

I wouldn't recommend it at all, despite the 2/5 stars awarded and it made it that far as it was a well made independent film. It's just an excuse to get gore on the screen with all-but zero attributes. Watch Eegah instead. The MST3k version, that is. At least you'll get a laugh out of the sort-of-same-plot.
