xposipx Animal attacks, says the TV news. But two ex-security agents know the real cause - maybe the real culprits. Shahrokh and Argenta are former employees of a company they knew to be conducting bizarre medical experiments. What has resulted are not animals attacks, but attacks by humans turned into vicious, decomposing, cannibalistic zombies. Their efforts to stem the violence in vain, hunted by the authorities, Shahrokh and Argenta escape the city just as it is engulfed in chaos. Their only hope lies in finding and organizing the few remaining survivors. What they find - three women claiming to be vampires with high-tech weaponry, a deranged and washed-up Mexican wrestler, a wounded soldier, and a scientist who may know more than he lets on - offer more questions than answers. Can this tiny cadre hope to defeat an army of the undead? And if they succeed...will there be anyone left alive?Gore was the main focus. I'm glad to say it delivered with some really impressive nasty effects. There was a mangled body, tons of limb gnawing, blown up body, many head gun wounds, run over corpse, and a head sawed open. This isn't even all, but those stood out to me the most. With a higher budget, this could have been amazing.Technical: Lets start out with the positives here. The camera shots and angles were all pretty creative and done well..most of the editing was pretty good(especially the gun shot scene at the beginning)..There was also some sex scene clipped into zombie killing scenes that was original. The sets were also really impressive for such a small budget movie. Clement can really pull this off nicely. There was also a short shot of zombie perspective which was really original and cool to see. On the other hand, some of the simple edits were a little careless..but the main complaint is the fact that i don't think they used any lighting whatsoever. So a lot of the time it was really hard to see what was going on.I've seen a little worse acting, but it got pretty bad towards the end. The first half hour of this movie was really great until the script got a little lengthy. The only person who seemed to be able to possibly act was Paul Pedrosa. Final Thoughts: Cool gore, nice makeup, and bad acting. 2/3 isn't too bad. It was enough to keep me entertained. Not bad at all for a low budget DEBUT by Brian Clement. The whole concept he brings in is interesting. People don't seem to mind the zombies because they are 'cleaning up the streets' of bums. People just go along with their daily routines...

trashgang this flick is rather popular with the horehounds and I agree, it do has a lot of gore. But gore doesn't make a movie. And that's what this flick doesn't actually has. It's an extreme low budget flick but still it's worth picking up.It shows that all the money went to the effects used. Not to make the zombies who look rather good for a low budget but for the effects used. From the start you will see zombies being shot or people being bitten by the horde. The only thing people dislike this flick is the acting itself. The acting is amateuristic and laughable when they are having conversations. Just watch when the 3 vampires are having a talk with the survivors. Another thing that some have problem with is the nudity here and there. The opening of Meat Market shows a couple who are making it out. There's no nudity and we only see the girl in her underwear but the guy shows his hard-on even as it is clear that it was a fake penis, towards the end of this flick I guess we have the real thing when a vampire is making love. The stupidity lays in the fact that they are making love while soldiers are clearing the building. Of course a zombie is shot and all his blood sputters all over the couple. But there's more real nudity here and there.It's really the blah blah that will make you go for the zapper to turn it off. If it wasn't for the gore I would too. It spawned two other Meat Market flicks and has a following. You've been warned, really bad acting but, sigh, the gore makes it watchable...and the scene's with the luchador. Gore 2/5 Nudity 2/5 effects 2/5 Story 1,5/5 Comedy 0/5

jewbo23 Two former employees of a company that did experiments with nano science or something of the like are out trying to take care of the things they have a small responsibility in making. The dead are killing the living and eating their flesh and soon there will be no more of the living. With the help of three vampires and a Mexican wrestler, can they stop the onslaught? As soon as the film starts you should know what you are in for. It's a no budget zombie fest. The plot doesn't hold up to much but it's a zombie film what do you expect. The acting is defiantly the worst part of this film. It is dire. The writing doesn't help. These people talk like no one I have ever seen in my life. Questions are often answered with just a strange look of movement of the head. The effects are OK for the budget but at times the film gets a little boring and it seems you're just waiting for some more gore to show up so a little more wouldn't have gone a miss. As I said, at times it gets a little slow and you wonder what the two main characters are actually trying to achieve. At first it seems like they are just going to barricade themselves in for a few years then they go out looking for more survivors.The characters are pretty one dimensional and there isn't much development of them. The Mexican wrestler is hilarious thought, especially with his obviously dubbed on voice. That was a great little touch. There are also some nice sex scenes to keep us amused including a lovely lesbian scene for the guys. These seem put in just for the sake of it but then I'm not going to complain.Even with all its bad points it is a very entertaining film and it was the directors first so it's a great first effort and I'm sure he learnt a lot form it. For all zombie film fans it should go down pretty well. For everyone else maybe not 6/10.

leagueofstruggle Shot on video, Meat Market is a living dead offering that goes further with a miniscule budget than most studio offerings can even scratch at. Not to say Meat Market doesn't have its weaknesses, mostly budgetary and first time actors, but it's better than many offerings we've seen in the living dead genre since the 90's. The film could have improved with tightening up of the script, the exclusion of the vampires armed with laser weaponry could have been dropped to make the film more in line with survival horror rather than camp. Played as camp Meat Market is an excellent independent film, if it had been tightened into a straight story it could have been even better. As an independent horror film it excels over other studio jobs namely Resident Evil, House of the Dead, and The Dead Hate the Living! (the latter being slightly indie but weaker than water) and is crafted by director with an eye on horror.
