Meat Market (2000 Video)
It's Okay for Ultracheap Zombie Horror
16 September 2003
Meat Market is a lot more fun in premise than in execution. It's got zombies, guns, blood, lesbian vampires and a Mexican wrestler. Unfortunately, they didn't find much to do with these concepts. There's little to no plot and bad acting, but that's what you should be expecting in this genre. The problem is that in the areas a low budget horror flick should by all means succeed, this one just wandered around, lost and confused as to what it should be doing. They understand there's something funny about a Mexican wrestler fighting zombies, but they can't think of much for him to do besides stand in front of the camera and mumble to himself. The sex scene appears out of nowhere and is entirely unsatisfying. The worst sin, by far, is that the gore effects are uncreative and entirely forgettable. In summary, bad acting and a lacking plot can always be forgiven in low budget movies, but you don't mess up the blood and guts without seriously compromising the film. This movie is just okay.
