Festin de zombies

The film caught my eye at Blockbuster this past weekend. Being a huge horror/slasher film, I was lured in by the great box art and the blurbs on the cover by so-called horror critics declaring this film "the best low budget horror flick in years." PLEASE!!! I really question how many films these people have actually seen OR how much money the producers of this flick paid them to say these positive things! Believe me folks...this film is A-W-F-U-L!! If you are truly a horror fan, you have probably seen the 80's slasher flick "The Last Slumber Party." This film is absolutely horrendous.....well..."Andre the Butcher" comes pretty close to beating that flick in terms of awfulness.

The plot is absurd and centers around a trio of cheerleaders who stumble across the house of a supposed serial killer, apparently called "Andre the Butcher" (I say apparently because absolutely ZERO background is given to the killer or his motives). The house, despite being the residence of an apparent cannabilistic serial killer, is actually quite cozy and tidy. Nothing at all scary about it at all....it could be your grandmother's house, for crying out loud! At least make the house creepy to add suspense!! The stupidity int he fact that the cheerleaders simply go into the house and basically start living there (they were suppose to be looking for a phone to call for help) adds to the stupidity of the plot. Secondly, the acting is atrocious from EVERYONE involved....the cheerleaders are terrible and are quite out of shape and homely. The lighting and direction are strictly amateurish in every sense of the word. There are shifts in the picture color and contrast throughout the entire film. Ron Jeremy makes for a terrible killer and an obvious body double is used for him almost the entire film--it's obvious because the body double is twice the size of Jeremy and wears a silly looking black curly wig.

I understand this is suppose to be more comedy than horror, but tell me what is funny AT ALL about this mess? And why try to appeal to horror/gore hounds with the box art when the gore and murders in the film are all very mild and fake looking? And if you can even make it through the opening scene of this film, which is absolutely laughable terrible, you deserve some sort of prize.

This is seriously the worst attempt at a horror film I have seen in at least 15 years. Rent if you dare, but don't say I didn't warn you! 0 out of 10.

this is one of the most dreadful flicks i have seen in a long time the tubby old porn star Ron Jeremy who's description in a earlier comment is rather insulting to all the blokes/lassies, who know him from VHS long ago porn films, as he has to act out very badly written scripts,and he still does it......

i agree the film is totally waste of film but u cant say you have seen Ron Jeremy in a flick without taking his clothes off.........lol even though there was a hint of porno, but nothing revealing, so if you are looking for cheap thrills, watch the rabbits in march.........

after a few Min's in to the film i started wondering if the garden shed needed painting....uh huh that bad,

AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE

This movie is a MUST for all B-Movie horror buffs! It has everything you could ever hope for: Nudity, bad fake blood, absurd killer (never explained why he kills), and cheerleader lesbians! OF COURSE this is a terrible movie. The plot and directing are OK, as in perfunctory which is actually much better than most films like this.

The GREAT: Nudity, Cheerleaders, and bi-curious cheerleaders getting naked and going at it! The GOOD: The filmmakers knew what they were making - a stupid horror movie. All the actors are really stupid and annoying, and thankfully, they do all get killed! The music was actually good, a lot of great dark metal! The BAD: The dialogue was so horrible I found myself fast-fowarding through some scenes it was so bad. Also there is a lot of padding added to this film, with characters walking FOREVER while a song plays, save yourself the time and just fast-forward. Also, the blood was so stupid and fake, its like "Oh no! I got red corn syrup all overm yself!" Ron Jeremey is absurd as the killer, his arm gets blown off multiple times, and he literally just staples it back together and its good as new. He literally jumps out of nowhere, and can't be stopped - obviously the film-makers are were just playing up the camp with Ron Jeremey's character. Also, why the hell were all the cheerleaders wearing their uniform the entire time!? Would they really be wearing their uniforms on a cross-country road trip? That was really stupid. I think it must have been just to keep wardrobe costs down, as I'm sure it cost about $50 or so to make this "film"

Even if you don't love Ron Jeremy, or understand his place in pop culture history, you will appreciate his contribution to Dead Meat. He is hilarious, even without speaking a word. The usual slasher ingredients are here (ingredients, get it? Ha Ha!) cheerleaders, boobies, questionable chili, a scary dude killing people, some escaped convicts, etc. You know the drill: pretty people end up in a scary house in the woods, and are killed off one by one after they have lesbian sex/take off their bikini tops/eat some chili. It totally rocks, right down to the sound track. The best part of this film is the writing, which is funny, surprising, and full of fun. The actors all seem to be having a blast, even in the Florida heat. The special effects are surprisingly awesome for an independent film. There is one that deserves particular praise, but I won't spoil it by telling you. Quality all the way! I saw this film at its premier, and loved it from start to finish. There are not many big budget movies that are able to keep my attention the way this independent film did. I hope to see more from the filmmakers in the future.

I hated this when I first saw it, but then I thought about it more and realized it wasn't quite as bad as I thought originally. Still not very good though. It had its moments, like the cheerleader kung-fu. The obvious body double shots of boobs was just plain ridiculous. The only thing this movie has going is its silly humor. Most of it didn't work for me, but I can see where some people may appreciate it. I was pretty disappointed that this was not a super gritty creepfest like the box art implies. The tone of the movie is nowhere near as cool as the cover. Then again, these movies usually aren't. I should probably get used to that kind of disappointment.
