Monster Meat 17

About This Movie

Monster Meat 17 is one of those oddities that just seems to exist in the shadows of the horror genre. The film has a certain gritty charm, largely due to its raw practical effects, which might even remind you of some classic 80s creature features. Its pacing is erratic, bouncing between moments of unsettling stillness and sudden, chaotic bursts of violence, creating an atmosphere that’s both bizarre and captivating. The performances are, well, unique; they range from earnest to downright strange, adding to the film's peculiar allure. It’s not the most polished piece, but that’s part of what makes it distinctive – it feels like a labor of love, even if the love is a bit warped.

Finding a copy of Monster Meat 17 can be quite the hunt. It was released primarily on VHS, and the limited print runs have made it somewhat scarce over the years. Collectors have become increasingly interested in it, partly due to its oddball reputation and the sheer curiosity surrounding its production. It’s one of those films that sparks conversation, especially among genre enthusiasts who appreciate the rawness of indie horror.
