DVD Reviews of Dead Meat
DVD Review: 3.5 for this one
Summary: 3 Stars
OK, I got this and was like hmmmm, what will it be like, another stinker OR a gem? It was a gem. I truly liked it. It had the gore, plot, and a very decent cast. I was pleasantly surprised, since Fangoria has lead me astray before. Anyway, if you're looking for a good time ENJOY this one with your sweetie and a bloody pizza. It's totally lovely. The only thing that kept me from giving it a 4 star rating was the sudden and unexpected abrupt ending. WOO HOO, Irish zombie film, YAY!DVD Review: Very decent Zombie Flick
Summary: 4 Stars
Dead Meat was a very watchable zombie movie. Its nice to see what these movies can do with an actual budget and creativity. The movie takes place in the countryside of Ireland (I think) and basically there was a zombie outbreak due to some sort of mad cow disease mutation. A couple of people and a horde of zombies, just like it should be. There were numerous great/hillarious scenes (i.e. zombie in the wedding dress, hoover zombie, zombie cow, etc.) Now it's no Romero flick and surely isnt going to win any Oscars but it is a good flick none the less. I even purchased it. If your a fan of the zombie genre this one is very well worth it. Film quality is great (no garage-sale digital camera crap), good sound, very nice special effects, and a lot of creativity.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?

DVD Review: great old school zombie film
Summary: 5 Stars
Great effects, interesting zombie kills (vaccum anyone). If you like zombie films and horror films you will apprecheate this film, if not go away.DVD Review: Dead Meat is a watchable zombie film. Countryside Zombies!!
Summary: 3 Stars
Okay, if you've seen "Let Sleeping Corpses Lie", there are similarities: country setting with zombies, survival of a woman and those she meets.
Mad Cow disease takes a rare form, turning people into zombies. Only about six survivors in a countryside of about seventy zombies, scattered about. The gore is decent, the directing has a documentary feel, the acting works. Not much story other than run, but it's not bad, filled with plenty of daylight and night scenes, Dead Meat is a good, watchable zombie film, though LSCL is still a better film. Plenty of slow moving zombies and passable make up give it a point. The country atmosphere really helps keep this unique.
Description of Dead Meat
