Its a long holiday weekend at the Lambda Epsilon Zeta sorority house, and a handful of girls stay behind to indulge in three days of partying, sex games and strangely delicious meals prepared by the weird new chef. But as the sisters begin to disappear one-by-one, the remaining coeds The Slut, The Stoner, The Bible Beater, The Dumb Hot Blonde, The Predatory Lesbian, The Tease, The Dominatrix and The Good Girl will find themselves trapped in a nightmare of graphic slaughter, involuntary cannibalism and heaping helpings of gourmet nudity. Mark Hengst, Makinna Ridgway and Kit Paquin star in this bloodspattered black comedy that cuts like a knife, tastes like chicken and serves up a scrumptious feast of carnage courtesy of THE COOK.

The Cook Serves Up The Good, The Bad & The Bloody
I was very skeptical about the Cook at first. Yet another in and endless line of low budget direct to video horror garbage.Granted, I saw the film without having a clue as to it’s nature or background. One thing The Cook does is reaffirm you can’t judge a DVD by it’s cover.The Cook is is a very funny, well written little bloodfest with emphasis on the funny over the horrific.We get a boatload of the most varied sorority girls ever to assemble under one roof. Enter the new cook (who is strangely never asked his name) who arrives just in time for Spring Break. Most of the girls are gone but a handful stay behind to be slaughtered.There is plenty of blood, just the right amount of chubb inducing naked girls and some great dialogue from the potty mouthed pothead. There were never any sorority girls like these in my college…and I went to SDSU!Nothing beats watching a bible thumping hottie get seduced by the by the house lezbo. For once I was not even interested in the kills so much as what would come out of these girls mouths.Special note, th e cop at the end, he needs his own movie.

Don’t let your prejudices be your guide; watch this one!!!
Like most “serious” horror fans (what does that even mean) I tend to be leery of certain things: a) teenagers (by which I mean basically up to age 25) going on camping trips, b) teenagers going on road trips, c) teenagers going on foreign trips, d) found footage, e) haunted houses, f) cheerleaders, g) sororities.But give a think to “g)”. Didn’t the whole slasher genre begin with the awesome sorority massacre film Black Christmas? (It did, it did! You’re so smart Mr. Amazon Critic. Here’s our collective number. By the way, we’re all cute girls.) Maybe that’s why the sorority house as a setting has gone so far off the reservation. Because trust me, I look through Amazon Instant Video titles every day, there’s LOTS of sorority house horror fare out there (& also a disturbing amount of women’s prison stuff, but don’t get me started…) Perhaps it’s just that it lends itself way too easily to the lotion-and-tissue crowd.* Or maybe it’s just that sororities are kind of lame.But pay attention to this wonderful entrée served up by director Gregg Simon and writers Nicholas Bonomo, Francisco Rodriguez and Dirk Van Fleet. All guys, am I right? What gives? Actually, if you’re looking for signs of the progress of feminism in the film industry by examining a sorority slasher, you may have taken a wrong term somewhere.In all seriousness, I really would like to see a good one of these come from an all double-X team, but I would be willing to bet that there’s a lot of insider knowledge at play here, from the women in the crew, in the cast, the writers’ families. Maybe I’m wrong, having never astrally traveled to a sorority house (hint hint, God. Birthday coming soon) but this felt real. One way or another, the eight women (a lot for a slasher!) in the cast all seemed like consenting adults, and seemed to be having a very good time with it.Yes, l&t crowd, there’s LOADS of nudity here, and a great deal of lesbianism to boot. What I found remarkable was how hard it was to guess who would be the winner of the inevitable and enviable title “Last Girl Standing.” For a while I was tempted to bet for a double win by inveterate dom lesbian Anastasia (Penny Drake) and her good-Christian-girl-to-willing-lesbian-bondage-slave-in-under-60-seconds girlfriend (I think it’s Kristen, played by Brooke Lenzi); or for the delightfully ditzy Bunny (Kit Paquin), who first scorn nerdy man-boy math tutor Lance (Allen Yates), but finally falls for him and seems to have the time of her life, in a gratifying scene that I’m sure has happened eventually to quite a few nerdy guys out there; but in the end I doubled down on beautifully bespectacled Makkinna Ridgway as Amy. I’ll let you discover whether I made the right choice.This is a movie that challenges you to write it off as dumb fluff before you even watch it. Don’t fall for the trap!Mark Hengst’s last name is a German term for some sort of horse, and there is something bodily powerful about him, like a steed*let me now & forevermore attribute the brilliant coinage “lotion-and-tissue fan club” to the redoubtable Vince Leo in his 2004 review of Hit & Run. Vince is still out there at his Qwpster site so check the man out!!!

Three topless scenes. One woman is topless twice. Breasts are real. One scene shows a woman nude from her backside.

Solid piece of horror comedy
This movie is funny and horrific at the same time. i think that the cook has a Gordon Ramsey (ish) look to him helps.

Delightfully Fun Horror Flick
I saw this movie first reviewed by Fangoria. I find most of my best horror movies in that magazine. I went to Walmart and read the back, and it sounded like a really good movie. I didnt agree with the price and knew I could find it cheaper on amazon, so I ordered it. I have to say, this movie is great. Its brutally disgusting, yet fun and entertaining. The cook comes off as a foreign chef that knows no english and says things like “I AM COOK! OKAY!” and its hilarious. But, one by one he is killing the sorority sisters and FEEDING them to the others! This movie has comedy, drama, some lesbian moments, and good old fashioned blood and guts horror. A must have for any horror fan!

finally something good
Good quality movie. Kinda funny grossing and some good surprises. Bit offensive that they think all college girls drink do drugs and are lesbians

Ich persönlich schaue diesen Film immer mal wieder ganz gerne, er ist jedoch im groÃen und ganzen nichts wirklich berauschendes.Der Aufbau des Filmes ist nichts neues und die Hauptdarstellerinnen scheinen beim Provinztheater zusammen gesucht worden sein. Aber doch hat dieser Film ein gewisses etwas. Mark Hengst stellt den Koch auf total überzogene Art und Weise dar und rettet so wie ich finde den ganzen Film zumindest soweit, dass ich ihm nicht nur 1 – 2 sondern 5 Sterne gebe, ich feier den Humor.
