DVD Reviews of Dead Meat

DVD Review: Beef Wellington
Summary: 4 Stars

Look, man---you work hard, you gotta play hard, you gotta eat hard.

They're not lying when they say it's a jungle out there: you've got Carruthers slippering up the greasy pole with murder in his eyes and a knife in his teeth, 250 pounds of burning ambition fixed on your job & office.

And it's not even that great of an office: a few plastic-metal cubicle walls stuck together with some fuzzy carpet superglued across the panels. And let's not even talk about the deadlines, the quarterly goals, the beatings administered by senior management in Dread Room 101, the Commute to your cheerless tract home in some nameless, Godforsaken burb.

My point: you work hard, you gotta eat hard. You gotta have RAW MEAT to fuel your toil, and this tofu-veggie crapula everybody's touting nowadays just won't cut it.

In the meantime, even scarfing down that Double Cheeseburger with the Works has become a life-or-death proposition: a vicious strain of Bovine Spongiform Encephalits---or Mad Cow Disease, as it is called for its brutal, brain-busting effects on Old Bessie---is sweeping throughout Europe, which welters under the smoke from a million pyres devouring the bones of cows and sheep.

Take "Dead Meat", for instance. Big goopy Irish horror flick, good solid pacing, lots of chewing and throat masticating and all kinds of good, solid stuff. This one gets to work with minimum fuss or muss with a nasty, weirdly claustrophobic encounter in a dark & spooky barn between a farmer and his, uh, moo-cow.

It's at that point when you realize: Holy God! These cows ain't just mad, they're P*SSED!

Faster than you can say "two all-beef patties special sauce lettuce cheese tomato onions on a sesame-seed bun" two hapless tourists motoring through sleep & bucolic County Leitrim, smack into some ambling fool on the roadway, try to get him in their nasty little English car to take him "to hospital", and wind up getting the Irish zombie version of Open Head Surgery.

Man, is any place safe when it comes to tourism these days?

The rest of the flick is pretty simple: survivors of Zombie apocalypse run, bunker up in cottages & ruined castles & woodlands lees, get eaten, get chunks wripped outta them, face death from unhappy zombie moo-cows, unleash some Irish whupa** on Zombie tush, and fall in love.

Kidding on that last one.

Look: this is a low-budget zombie flick that positively wallows in its beer-budget origins and director Conor McMahon has has enough cinematic moxie to really give this one some punch---particularly in these gorgeous, eerie tracking shots that stalk the characters through the woods, into cottages, peer through keyholes, through gaping panels: the triumph of "Dead Meat" is it brings back some of the renegade, guerilla filmmaker goodness---and eeriness---of Romero back in his salad days.

To sweeten the deal, you get McMahon's directorial debut, the indie short "The Braineater", which is insane, vile, and foul: more than enough to warrant giving the "Dead Meat" DVD a shot.

Got brains?

Description of Dead Meat

Movie description Writer-director Conor McMahon attempts a one-man Irish horror movie revival with his genuinely frightening and purposely hilarious low-budget zombie film DEAD MEAT. While driving through the rural Irish countryside, Spanish tourists Helena (Marian Araujo) and Martin (David Ryan) literally stumble upon a legion of flesh-eating zombies created by a mutated strain of mad-cow disease. It isn't long before Martin himself succumbs to zombification, leaving Helena to partner with local gravedigger Desmond (David Mallard) to fight off the army of undead with creatively zany techniques involving everything from shovels to vacuum cleaners. Balancing dark humor with moody atmospherics and ample doses of gore, DEAD MEAT deftly straddles the line between the self-conscious parody of SHAUN OF THE DEAD and the serious horror traditions of George Romero and Sam Raimi for a good old-fashioned zombie flick destined to become an instant cult classic.
