Review of Bad Meat (2011) by Charles M — 11 Feb 2013

A juvenile camp out in the middle of nowhere becomes the focal point of a beef stew of vomitorium goodies. Spewed from the stomachs of a group of horror fans, this little tale could have had enough spices if it weren't so damn stale. There's no flavor in this stew. Not one bit. Dip in a biscuit and you may find it tolerable, but it wouldn't be meaty enough to enjoy. You want to dig in. Eat it up. Then go out back and upchuck it into the left over basket for tomorrow's meal. :).

A group of juvies with stereotypical personas are shoved into the lower intestine of a juvenile camp. The camp counselors are made up of deranged types. All of whom being led by a Hitler enthusists with a bad haircut. After a bad shipment of meat is sent to the camp, it's cooked and served to the counselors who devour the goodies. The juvies aren't meant to partake in the stew since they're only there to be tortured and humiliated by the sicko counselors. This time they truly are sick as the bad meat takes effect. It's not a stomach ache they're spewing up, but the remnants of a foreboding parasite that has them turned into mindless zombies!

The director of 'Wrong Turn' was meant to helm this project until dropping out of it for god knows what. The editing also screwed the screenwriter of the film which created an incoherent story from what was originally written. (The most disappointing thing in this whole fucking mess was the editing.) Also you have a strictly unfinished product that takes forever to get off the ground. It shouldn't have taken so long for the action to commence once the counselors have upchucked their dinners. They should have been immediately seeking out the juvies for lunch or breakfast or second dinner.

There isn't much scares in this film either. Unless you consider watching people almost vomit to be scary. (Throwing up is a VERY scary thing when it's happening to YOU!) It is certainly gory with one scene being the ultimate kicker where a dog is being operated on by one of the juvies exposing it's heart, intestines and even removing it's skull. Other than that, best be prepared to have your gag reflex tested while watching! :D.
