For me eating Raoul is a film that i do not think i would watch again i guess it was not much to my liking because there was a lot of weird scenes in the film and I didn't really like that idea of how the couple was going out and about to kill other people just for there money. I think there is just a lot of scenes that could be disturbing for some people as well. I would not recommend this film to people that dont like watching things with murder in it. If you like dark humor or sort of like horror movies then i think that yes this would a film that you would find funny considering that it is a comedy like film.

Eating Raoul is a dark comedy. It mixes crime, satire, and odd humor. The story follows a conservative married couple who's dream is opening a restaurant but struggle with money. They accidently kill a swinger and realize they can profit by luring and murdering wealthy perverts. Things become complicated when Raoul joins their scheme. This film is funny but also weird. The couple is very serious which is what makes what they do so much funnier. The movie makes fun of the swinger lifestyle as well as the couples strict morals. It does have a low budget look to it but the story and style is very unique, its what made it a cult classic.

I feel like the plot of this movie was so good and they could’ve done so much with it but I felt like the storytelling was not as seamless as it could’ve been. With that being said this movie was hilarious! I did not expect to like this film so much. I love dark comedy so this was definitely up my alley. When the couple got into different bed cuddling with stuffed animals I laughed out loud. If you like dark comedy and satire you will love this film! I feel like the symbolism was not portrayed that well and I couldn’t see how this film could be taken further. But, as just a comedy it was good! I wouldn’t say this film is life changing but it was definitely entertaining and a fun watch!

This movie Eating Raoul is definitely not the best movie I have watched. I would say this movie is trying to be a dark comedy if that make sense. I see the vision but it just feels unreal. The movie covers a couple that hates the nasty people around them. This movie felt slow to be honest. I can say this move has a plot that sum cult films lack of. It just feels like an awkward movie. There is murderers and perverts apart of this movie but honestly everyone is bad. The jokes drag a little to much some can just rest, but nope not in this film. This isn't a film I would recommend to someone just because it just isn't worth it. It is overall weird and has many part of the movie I would just skip.

Obviously, Eating Raoul is not to be taken seriously and, if you like it, the film is worth a rewind and re-watch. But not with the same entertainment value as, say, Rocky Horror Picture Show. Come to think of it, the best way Eating Raoul could have benefited was to make it into a musical. Who woulda thunk it? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eating_Raoul_(musical)

Eating Raoul was directed by and stared Paul Bartel in 1982. This movie is about Paul and Mary, who are a sexually repressed married couple that are surrounded by sexual deviants. They are trying to save money to open up a restaurant. The couple decides to lure men with a sexual fetish into their home so Paul can kill them with a frying pan and steal their money. Raoul comes into the picture and becomes part of their team by getting rid of the dead bodies. Mary ends up killing Raoul and he becomes their dinner. This is a cult classic for a reason. On the one hand you have this couple that act like up standing citizens, but behind closed doors they are killing people. It may not sound like a comedy, but it is truly funny. I was actually surprised that they ate Raoul at the end, even knowing the title of the film. The acting, lighting and pace of the movie was pretty good.

it's acceptable background noise, but overall very repetitive and poorly written/acted. i didn't laugh, and the name + summary really give the entire movie away.

Not as clever as it thinks it is.

Eating Raoul is a disappointing film. It is about a relatively boring Los Angeles couple discovers a bizarre way to get funding for opening a restaurant. Mary Woronov and Paul Bartel give terrible performances. The script is badly written. Paul Bartel also did a horrible job directing this movie. I was not impressed.

From the trailer you wouldn't know what this movie is about At first it looks like a screwball comedy People get bonked on the head and a few giggles Well you'd be wrong; this is actually about a couple called The Blands as more of a dark comedy The both of them actually lure swingers to their home and have them killed and cooked to fund their restaurant They feed them to a burglar named Raoul who stumbles upon their scheme and also wants a part of the action This reminded me so much of 'Motel Hell' which had the same premise but more along the lines of cannibalism horror This plays more for laughs if anything; I just love how these two are so non-chalant about murdering rich perverts for cash After all the way the worlds been treating them they seem to deserve something in return Small hard working people shouldn't get trampled on all the time For the Blands they feel as if they're reaping more benefits Plenty of black humor in here and vigorous anarchy Very low budget indeed and doesn't go beyond any big story lengths yet it's a good time waister Lays out capitalism in body bags with our obsessively consumptive culture Only way for a couple like this to make it through is by killing then consuming This one is a bit uneven delivering giant laughs or graphic violence but still makes this marriage a riot to see unfold in their desperation

Classic Cult! Hilarious. Great cast. Throughly entertaining

While not for everyone, I found this movie campy and hilarious in a dark way. I would put it in a similar category as some Andy Warhol movies and those John Waters movies featuring Divine.

1982: This black comedy (in the most honest way) features a couple needs money to secure a place for a future restaurant. Both are prudish when it comes to their horny neighbors, but when cook up a scheme to get money by starting a prostitution service, then killing the johns and stealing their money. A career criminal gets wind of this scheme and negotiates a plan to be a part of it (claiming the bodies of the johns and selling them). Problems ensue when the criminal gets the hots for the wife. This is a odd but ultimately fulfilling dark comedy, with winning performances all around. There are some slow spots in the story, but ultimately a worthwhile view. Stars: Paul Bartel, Mary Woronov, Robert Beltran, Susan Saiger, and Robert Blackburn. Directed by Paul Bartel.

Totally fun dark comedy satirising the American middle class puritanical ideas of sex combined with greedy, consuming capitalism that makes people feel they "deserve" things at any cost. Paul Bartel and Mary Woronov are amazing as the perfectly named Blands. Heaps of great character actor cameos and a visceral performance from Robert Beltran. This was such a fun discovery.

Taking the Rousseauian maxim about eating the rich to its logical conclusion, Paul Bartel's delectable cult comedy is a droll feast for viewers wanting social commentary with a little bite to it, a sardonic satire of hypocritical American attitudes towards sex and violence, capitalist consumerism, and the misogyny that undergirded the sexual revolution of the 70s.

I can't think of another film that exposes the hypocrisy of the free love movement. I revel in it and you will too.

Timeless Black Comedy.

The best comedy movie ever made!

This film was almost good.

"Eating Raoul" is an odd little dark comedy about a conservative couple trying to survive in a Los Angeles swingers scene by murdering and robbing various people and a locksmith wants in on their game but at a price. The two main actors Mary Woronov and Paul Bartlet (who also wrote and directed the film) have great chemistry. The film states they've been married for 10 years and I believe it. Robert Beltran performance as Raoul is a bit stereotypical but he still manages to make it work. The rest of the cast is all solid and if they're not they don't stay very long. The real gold in this movie though is its writing. It can be laugh out loud funny and subtle in any scene delivered perfectly. The film is rather short at 83 minutes but its never dull for a moment. If you're a fan of dark humor and independent films "Eating Raoul" will serve up plenty of entertainment.
