Meatdaze

About This Movie

Okay, so Meatdaze is kind of a trip. It’s this oddball compilation film from '68 that stitches together six sections, blending cartoons with both support and main features. The pacing is all over the place, which honestly adds to its charm. It feels like a curated slice of cinema, something you might find in the back of a dusty video store. The practical effects, when they show up, are delightfully quirky. The atmosphere is a bit surreal, almost dreamlike in how it transitions from one segment to another. I mean, it definitely has this unique vibe that you won’t find in typical features of the time. I weirdly enjoy it for its collage approach to storytelling, it's different.

Meatdaze is a rather rare find, especially for those interested in the oddities of 1960s cinema. It has seen limited home video releases, which only adds to its mystique among collectors. The scarcity combined with its unusual format makes it a topic of discussion in niche collector circles. If you come across a copy, it’s worth considering how this film represents a bygone era of experimental cinema.
