Fresh Meat

About This Movie

Fresh Meat is this wild blend of comedy and horror that really plays with the absurdity of its premise. You’ve got a gang of criminals who think they’re in control, only to find themselves trapped in a twisted scenario with a Maori family that turns out to be cannibals. The pacing is interesting, kind of frenetic, which keeps you on edge while also throwing in some darkly humorous moments. The practical effects for the more gruesome scenes are surprisingly effective, adding a gritty touch that heightens the shock factor. Performances are a bit over-the-top but it suits the film’s tone. It’s got this odd sense of social commentary lurking beneath the surface, making it distinctive in a genre that can often feel predictable.
