Just what I expected

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

This is the first part of my little review series: Movies that are way better than you expect.This short and sweat Irish zombie slasher doesn't only convince with beautiful landscapes but also with a few original ways to slaughter some zombies (you get pretty much anything from high heels to Hoovers) and a very artistic camera work that particularly stands out and gives a really dynamical, refreshing and surprising bonus to the movie. There are also a few scenes that are really frightening and well done like the atmospheric opening sequence, the first fight scene between the young couple or the mad cow scene. There is also a lot of original and dark humour in a couple of scenes for example when the zombies have their meal in tranquillity or are simply falling asleep at night on a big field. More positive points go to the clothing and make ups of the movie that are really trashy and give a certain cheap charm to the movie. I sincerely hope that people in the Irish country side are not dressed the way the actors are in our real world.On the other side, there are also a few negative points that must be mentioned. The acting is a little wooden and only the gravedigger is doing a rather good job while the other actors are mediocre or bad. The special effects of this low budget slaughter are also rather mediocre. The story itself remains superficial and copies from many classics of the genre. The ending is also not the best choice that could have been made.This movie turns out to be not only entertaining but interesting from an artistic point of view. Anybody that likes zombie video games or some good slaughter movies with a cheap charm might like this flick that surprised me in a truly positive way.

Helena (Marian Araujo) and her boyfriend Martin (David Ryan) are traveling in the Irish Country for the weekend. When they hit an man by accident on their car but what seems to be accident, this man attacked them and he bite Martin in the neck. After Martin kills this crazed man, Martin becomes increasingly weak. Helena tries to find help for her boyfriend but suddenly he attacks her. While Helena is running for her help, she finds help from a mysterious gravedigger Desmond (David Muyllaert). Helena finds out from Desmond that it all started with some several farmers are been serving dead meat to the call. Which the meat is been infected with an Mad Cow Disease. When these cows get sick, they bite and kill several adults by infecting them. Which they become mindless zombies and affecting others in the country side of Leitrim, Ireland.Written and Directed by Conor McMahon made an decent, somewhat imaginative low-budget effort horror film. I read many reviews of this film saying this is a Horror/Comedy. But i don't see the comedy in this movie but it certainly tries hard. Dark Comedy element failed in this picture, which i thought, it has many unintentional funny moments. Also the make-up effects are amateurish at best but i felt the digital video camera work in the film by Andrew Legge is good, however. Perphas what's truly missing in this effort is the lack of real scares.DVD has an fine anamorphic Widescreen (1.78:1) transfer and an good Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. DVD also includes an behind the scenes featurette, an short film titled "The Braineater" and trailer. There's decent performances by Araujo and Muyllaert but don't quite feel something for these characters. Although the premise is good, since in the old days Farmers did feed dead meat to their cows. Which it's illegal now, which Farmers are not supposed to do. The movie is watchable but it's hurt by failed black comedy and an unsatisfying conclusion. Although, Horror Fans will find some enjoyment here. (***/*****).

This movie, with no lie, brings me back to the original feel of Night of the Living Dead & Dawn of the Dead. The story was simple, the characters where great, but most of all the zombies and the gore factor were classic B movie. I mean that out of respect as a true B movie zombie/horror movie fan.It is refreshing to see a movie with an extremely low budget,depend on old school horror movie techniques and great gory story lines. There was not a slow moment in this movie. It kept me on my toes, and I didn't want it to end.I think Dead Meat 2 would be a f@#k'n great idea, only if it had the same writers and the same budget.Favourate lines in movie:"i heard that every time someone dies, another star appears."" well there's a lot of stars out tonight"Very Dawn of the Dead. The whole "when hell is full, the dead will walk the earth ." , kind of thing.

What can i say, i watched the movie, and it SUCKED. It was a really waste of time, do you call "this" funny, i think the concept of funny its far away from this, funny its something that makes you laugh, not something that makes you hate everything in life, like this movie did...So to complete my 10 lines, which this movie doesn't deserves, ill just say a few things: Porn actor, bad "dunno who they are" actors, bad camera (omg!), bad story, bad effects, not funny, bad storyline, bad acting, bad smell and bad taste (yah, i got that after watching this movie.)
