 MEAT
MARKET (Sub Rosa)
Horror. Can’t remember how long this one is, figure 90 or so minutes.
Not Rated, gore, nudity. Flesh eating zombies are roaming the city and
only two former security guards know why. Hoping to expose the culprits,
Shahrokh and Argenta join forces with three hot vampire wannabes and a
washed up Mexican wrestler (who just happens to have a table saw in his
shytty little apartment) and fight side by side to bring forth justice.
Together, they take on the authorities and the rotting, smelly zombies to
save the earth from becoming one big human buffet.
Meat Market is one of those independent movies that teeters on the
bad b-movie/good b-movie fence. Fortunately, Meat Market teeters more to
the good side of that fence due to the gore, action, and vampire chicks.
The gore is terribly fantastic (my brother said that whenever a zombie bit
into flesh, it sounded like someone chomping an apple) and is present
throughout about 95% of the movie. Hey, if you’re going to make a zombie
gore movie, might as well do it right. The acting is your usual b-movie
fare, but the women who get naked do so very nicely. In a very self
centered way, the best thing about his movie is the special effects
make-up guy Nick Sheehan. After all, he has the same last name as me. Why
is that so cool? You see, unless it has to do with heavy drinking and bar
fights (and in most of those cases, it’s my father), the name Sheehan is
never seen or read anywhere. No, I am kidding. That’s not the best thing
about this movie. Meat Market’s production quality is actually the best
thing going here. The lighting, sound, and effects are all great. I must
write, I loved the vampire chicks storyline..imagine that! Even more
funnerer was the sloppy Mexican wrestler who fought side by side with the
vamps. The DVD also includes commentary by Director Brian Clement and
Sheehan, but I listened to it after becoming fairly wasted and do not
remember much of it. How professional and adult of me is that? Very cool
indie, gore romp. – Denis Sheehan
