Review of Gravy

Gravy (2015)
6/10
Tasty Enough, But Doesn't Demand Seconds
22 November 2015
It's All Hallow's Eve. A trio of costumed misfits with very special dietary requirements seizes a Mexican cantina and force the staff to engage in a late night of gaming, food and libations. The only caveat is what's on the menu.

Noel Murray says the film "seems little more than a lark for all involved, not a project with anything to say." That sums it up rather nicely. The gore is good enough for horror fans, the humor is there at times. And we have plenty of B-list actors in this thing. But what is the point? Unlike other recent horror-comedies (most notably the hugely successful "Tucker and Dale"), this never really seems to go anywhere.

Is it worth a look? Sure. James Roday is a fun guy, and it is great to see him venturing more into writing and directing. But I feel like we needed so much more here.
