This is a movie with a fantastic, very original premise. It avoids (considering it's main theme) the 'easy' path to the slippery slope that leads straight to the trash / slasher type of B- movie that most such productions end up being. Yet, it also falls far short of its potential.It never manages to go 'deeper' and explore the reasons that lie behind it's premise; 'what is there left when one has and has tried everything there is to have and to try?' This is such an interesting and philosophically exhilarating topic that it could and should have been exploited. In doing this, it would have raised this film to an entirely different level. If it had spent time in the characterization of the protagonists, the motives that drive them and the omnipresent influence of our exasperated consumer society, this motion picture could have been a masterpiece. Alas, this wasn't even attempted, which leaves it stranded somewhere between a 'tame' slasher movie and a potentially great but thwarted artistic accomplishment.

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.

Starting from since the glorious era of Italian cannibal/jungle exploitation movies ended, around the mid-80's approximately, how many truly good horror movies dealing with cannibalism have you seen? One or two, maybe, with "Ravenous and the flamboyant German sick-flick "Cannibal"? Personally I presumed that the cannibal sub genre – just as with authentic zombie movies – got ruined because of stupid and infuriating comedies like the god-awful "Fresh Meat", but apparently there is still hope. The last thing I expected to find in "Omnívores" was nail-biting suspense and genuine disturbance, but that was in fact exactly what I got! Albeit rather predictable and traditionally narrated, "Omnívores" brings forward a solid tale with intrigues, character development and a fantastic old-fashioned petrifying madman! The culinary journalist Marcos Vela is assigned to investigate the new and immensely popular trend of clandestine restaurants; private gatherings between eminent people that pay large sums of money for unique food experiences. After a few introduction meals, Marcos rapidly learns that the notorious urban legends of human flesh tastings are real and, thanks to his natural charms, he even obtains an invitation to a cannibal steak party. As said, the intensity and depravity levels of "Omnívores" are quite impressive. Not once does writer/director Oscar Rojo interrupt the serious tone and beautifully persists to uphold the mystery during the grand finale for a long time even though everybody already guessed the outcome. That's admirable, and Mr. Rojo also came across as a truly devoted and passionate film maker when I saw him at the Brussels International Festival of Fantastic Films. The extended mutilations sequences (the preparation of the human dishes) are extremely vile and sickening, especially since they are performed by the utmost evil "cook" imaginable. The Spanish actor Paco Manzanedo depicts one of the most menacing – and silent - killers I've seen in a long period. Last but not least, the film also stars a few genuine Spanish beauties in the supportive cast, namely Marta Flich and Sara Gómes, that aren't too prudish to showcase their lovely bodies. "Omnívores" is authentic Spanish horror at its most intense and surprising; recommended!
