Review of The Cook

The Cook (I) (2008)
9/10
Darn good job for low-budget flick
18 April 2008
I suppose I expected a more original idea but much less professional acting. Most of the actors were better than I'm accustomed to seeing in low-budget flicks. The idea was not too creative, but the murders were well done. What I would have liked is more attention to the "forensic scene" -- which I thought had the weakest acting, incidentally. The scenes at the 2 final locations were unexpected and therefore superb. As for the settings, in my opinion they were much better than I had expected of a low budget indie. Set dressing equally good. Lighting was also superior for a budget as low as this one was said to be. Good closeups, 'though I thought they could have used a few more.
