    Eat it

    There are so many jokes to be made with that title, that I'm sure you'll think of some pretty good ones yourself. And as the title suggest, you will be in the loop before one of our main characters is. So the viewer is ahead on a few things (also the "arriving"/"clash" is something you'll be expecting too), that the characters aren't.

    The movie will not be everyones taste (no other way to put that), but it is funny. Does it have flaws? Of course it has. But you would do the movie unjust to critique it because of it and you would hurt your own movie viewing experience by being to observing of those mistakes and flaws. Try to enjoy a fun little movie with a wicked sense of humor

    Lots of issues

    A lot of it was funny, some of it was just a bit dumb but I mostly hated the complete sexualisation and predation of the teenage girl. The 69 bondage scene was especially cringey.

    A mildly entertaining comedy

    I saw this at Pifan 2013 in South Korea, and well, I wasn't expecting a horror comedy but got one. There were funny moments in the movie but well, the gore wasn't necessary.

    I also wanted to see the actor T. Morrison but this was far from his finest hour. This film is basically a mix of gore, sex and a series of one-liners and while I didn't regret seeing this, I'm not sure I can recommend it.

    I gave it seven out of ten points because there were entertaining moments, but I sure hope Morrison gets better roles to befit his acting talents.

    Now this is comedy

    I saw another cannibal movie earlier today called cannibal carpet fitters wich was such a garbage movie, also suppose to be funny but could not even smile

    But fresh meat was a funny cannibal movie, this is comedy, a good entertaining funny movie, good acting, good story and well done production

    Its not blow you of the chair and it dont sparkle, its a typical 5-6 star comedy, I think on the minus side is the material was little week , could have needed some more ideas and the sexual parts was a bit annoying only , but yet a total ok movie

    Could read some reviews that lots of people didnt like this atall, some clown thought this was worst movie ever , well guess its the same jokers who thought cannibal carpet fitters was funny.

    You Once Were a Warrior, Temuera Morrison ...

    But now you're seemingly nothing more than a pitiful caricature of the Maori culture and inheritance you once so proudly represented. Are you really that desperate for work that you have to star in this dumb, dull, tasteless and unfunny horror comedy?? "Fresh Meat" desperately aims to come across as fresh, inventive and light-headed but instead of all this it's just downright embarrassing. Bunch of mishap criminals invade the home of a seemingly model suburbia family during an amateurish prison break. The Cranes aren't the defenseless victims that they appear to be, since they just decided to switch to cannibal cuisine! The basic premise definitely shows some potential, but absolutely nothing in this production is handled the way it should. The characters are loathsome stereotypes, the jokes and gimmicks entirely miss their effect, the plot twists are idiotic and far-fetched (even for a comedy about cannibals) and the overload of blood and gore isn't the least bit exhilarating. New Zealand already proved in the past that it can come up with ingenious and high entertaining horror comedies, like "Black Sheep" and the early Peter Jackson triumphs "Bad Taste", "Meet the Feebles" and "Braindead" (besides, writer/director Danny Mulheron is one of the creative minds behind the concept of "Meet the Feebles), but this is a total misfire.
