Eric Murphy This is the most FREAKED up movie I have ever scene. Long story short. A gangster full of retards running away from cops into a house to hide. That house belongs to a family who enjoy eating human. Yes, human. Cannibalism. The daughter of this family just came back from dorm so she doesn't know that her family turned into cannibals. There are situations that supposed to be funny by these freaked up people. The retard gangster messed up with one another. The psycho family eventually killed some of the retards. The daughter falls in love with the bad girl who leads the retards. There are scenes that psycho family cut people's heads and other organs. Then later, the father kills the daughter's boyfriend who really love her. Cuts his freaking head right away. Lovely right? And no, that's not freaked up enough. The father tries to kill their own children, and then his wife. The daughter fights with her father and finally she burns his father alive. In the end the daughter kissed with the bad girl and might end up with her. I watched Tarantino movies. It's okay that lots of his scenes full of freaked up shite like cutting heads and bloods all over the places. It's gross but understandable because there are stories and some situations turned bad. But in this movie, it has the MAIN PLOT that supposed to be funny by these disgusting situations. I don't know why people find this entertaining by this shite at all. I regret that I happened to watch this via cable so I didn't realize about it in the first place. If you like this movie I suggest you, get an appointment with a psychiatrist right away.
The Hawk Firstly let me say that this film can only ever flop dead outside of New Zealand. It's humour is directed at New Zealanders and only them so anyone from outside these islands will only be able to watch as all the jokes fly far over their heads.Unfortunately this film reaches too far in an attempt to combine an action with a horror/slasher film. As such it doesn't have enough action or gore to fully fit into either category and unfortunately the comedy is often sub par. While either plot could have been funny and successful singularly, there is not enough time inside 90 minutes to do them justice together.Temuera Morrison performs well, as per usual, and is surrounded by a cast of unknown kiwi actors, which is also usual for a purely NZ film, yet unfortunately even he cannot carry this entire movie to brilliance.I wish the cast and crew well and hope their next effort hits the mark spot on as this one was damned close.
kosmasp There are so many jokes to be made with that title, that I'm sure you'll think of some pretty good ones yourself. And as the title suggest, you will be in the loop before one of our main characters is. So the viewer is ahead on a few things (also the "arriving"/"clash" is something you'll be expecting too), that the characters aren't.The movie will not be everyones taste (no other way to put that), but it is funny. Does it have flaws? Of course it has. But you would do the movie unjust to critique it because of it and you would hurt your own movie viewing experience by being to observing of those mistakes and flaws. Try to enjoy a fun little movie with a wicked sense of humor
Paul Magne Haakonsen "Fresh Meat" is a tasty and lovely different dark comedy, pardon the pun.The story is about the Crane family, who become captives by a group of criminals on the run. However, the Crane family has a secret of their own, and the lid is about to come off, and the soup in the pot is filled with various parts of meat, tasty meat, human meat...What makes this movie entertaining is that it has just the right of dark comedy, action, thrills and satire to keep a great twist to the movie, and just when you think you got it all figured out, the movie takes another turn, thus leaving you baffled and in awe.The characters in the movie were colorful, well thought through and executed - again, no pun intended - on the screen by the various talented actors and actresses on the cast list. And the characters were so wonderfully absurd that you can't help but get immersed into the story and it is as if you are right there in the midst of all the cannibalistic chaos.If you enjoy movies such as "Black Sheep", then chances are very likely that you will enjoy "Fresh Meat" as well.The ending of the movie was really the only thing about the movie that wasn't in tune with the rest of the movie. Personally I found that ending to be downright ridiculous and insulting to people in the audience who were otherwise thoroughly entertained by the movie right up to the very end, when it all crashed like glass falling on the floor. That ending was just idiotic."Fresh Meat" is a fun movie that will prove appealing to anyone that enjoys dark comedy and satire. And the whole part about the prophet Solomon Smith, was that a subtle sarcastic caricature on the Joseph Smith prophet from the Mormon religion? Well, I can't claim to be very traversed in neither Mormon religion or Maori religion.Regardless, for a fun and different comedy about a very dysfunctional family, then "Fresh Meat" is a great choice.
