Dead Meat

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"

I read in the IMDb horror board a post that was like this: Andre the butcher is stupid! Its like a US version of Sadomaster! its that stupid!. That comment inspired me to comment on this movie.

I watched Andre The Butcher a year ago so i don't remember all the details, but i do remember that it was fun to watch, like Sadomaster. And yes, this movie is as stupid as Sadomaster, and i like them both. But Andre The Butcher is a better movie, its not only fun like Sadomaster, this one is a decent low budget movie (Sadomaster is just a funny no budget video).

If you want to watch a real horror movie, stay away from this. This is a gory comedy, just like Troma movies are. Ron Jeremy is a serial killer that punish sinners and dismember cheerleaders. There is a very good amount of blood and gore and lesbian sex. Cant fail. 7/10

Every once in a while a surprisingly good movie surfaces. And lately it's low budget movies that manage to come up with something unique and entertaining. This movie is one such gem. No A-list actors, which is always a good thing unless in your world, RJ is an A-list actor. That does not mean that the acting is bad. All the main actors do an outstanding job, if you appreciate subdued acting. This is not hyperhysterical sceaming dialogue that goes as good acting these days. Granted that some of the secondary actors aren't all that great- I'm thinking about some of the cops. The actors here succeed in portraying their characters, young community college kids, horny, hungry, funny. The script is outstanding. First of all, there is a script, unlike most movies these days that give you fancy effects and no dialogue. The script is fresh, funny, witty, unique. What starts out as a mundane story line of stranded cheerleaders in the middle of nowhere turns out to have plenty of surprises in store. The special effects are good and quite gory at times. The girls are pretty and there is a seriously erotic scene here, something you'll never see in your megaplex. In fact, there are a couple of scenes that only independent filmmakers have the guts to create and there are a few of those here. I like that this movie is filmed on location in Florida and not in some Hollywood backlot or in LA. This is an outstanding effort by a group of people who seem to like movies and know how to make a good production with a limited budget. I hope to see more from them. Andre the Butcher II would be something to look forward to. You won't be disappointed with this movie if you like your movies light, entertaining, fun, and sexy. For sure this is a better horror movie than 95% of the junk that ends up in theaters and is marketed as horror these days.

Andre the Butcher is about a satanic demon that took the place of a family man butcher who lost his family and takes up performing his profession on everyone that stops by. A ridicules film whose saving grace is that it is supposed to be demented, and that it is. Cheerleaders, convicts, and cops all get in on the act and fall prey to the butcher. Ron Jeremy plays the butcher in a way only he can. Of course with Jeremy, you would also expect to find gratuitous nudity. Luckily, it's the cheerleaders and not Jeremy. If you like mindless demented films with little redeeming qualities, this is for you. At some point during the film you will snicker and walk away shaking your head. Perhaps you can make it to the ending. And would someone please, please, kill that darn half a sheriff that keeps popping up on the screen. I bet he's even in the sequel.

I saw this little bit of horror with its cast of virtually unknowns (although, one of them looked like a guy I see on a soap opera...but then again, I could be wrong)with the exception for Ron Jeremy. You know what I saw...A horror movie that definitely didn't take itself too seriously....and let you know it from the start (yeah, I loved the Uncle Jesse-type character "tellin' a story"). Good gore effects and it really didn't matter if you rooted for the character or not they were good. In my opinion, if you want to waste an hour and a half and don't mind laughing your a** off, rent it and, oh yeah, break out that popcorn.
