Speed kills, but not as fast as malevolent ghosts, in this edgy horror/suspense opus. Thuggish Hector (Brad Hunt) and his girlfriend Dorena (Cyia Batten) are a pair of low-level drug dealers who are looking for a big score that will allow them to get out of the business. Hector has noticed that there's a big demand among his customers for "crystal meth," a powerful amphetamine; Dorena has learned how to make the stuff, so the couple steal the ingredients for a massive supply of crystal, and go into partnership with Hector's friend Merle (Patrick McGaw), who has found a big old house in the woods where they can "cook" and avoid the prying eyes of the police. Dorena decides it's prudent to make up all the crystal in one marathon cooking session, so she gets to work and Hector stands watch, using their own product when their energies begin to flag. However, Merle happens to mention a local legend that the house where they're cooking is haunted, and after several days of speed-fueled sleeplessness, Hector and Dorena aren't sure if they're hallucinating, or if there really are evil spirits ready to do them in. Cookers marked the feature film debut for director Dan Mintz. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

This movie stays with you, way after it's over. Dare I say it's "haunting". If you know a "tweeker" or have had 1st hand experience, this movie will strike a chord with you!

A pretty unique horror movie. It mixes drug users with the horror genre. Is it real or do they make it up in there mind? Yes its a low budget movie and its not blood bath slasher movie. It still a pretty decent movie. The actors play there parts well. Be warn lots of drugs used in the movie. Probably why it got the R rating.

I found this movie painful to watch due to the subject matter which was portrayed in an extremely realistic way. The acting was exceptional and the characters' paranoia was contagious. If you ever wanted to know what the life of a meth addict REALLY can get like then just watch this film - It's not at all far-fetched. Is this a horror movie? I'd say absolutely!
