Good start, but then it gets ruined

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

CAUTION: Plot spoilers present.Ireland's lush countryside has been hit by a mutated strain of Mad Cow Disease, turning anyone who is exposed to it into flesh-eating zombies. A group of survivors – a young Spanish tourist, a young girl, a couple & the local gravedigger – attempt to make it to a rescue station whilst dodging attacks by the zombies now roaming the countryside.Ireland – the land of leprechauns, four-leaf-clovers & Guinness beer on tap – finally joins the world's brotherhood of nations that have made zombie films. Granted, it's nothing particularly special, but it does mean something to the world's zombie fans. Dead Meat is Ireland's entry into the genre, directed by Conor McMahon.Dead Meat is fairly much a routine zombie film in a flood of similar films that have come out over the past decade. It seems to be nothing more than just another production made to honour the genre but doesn't have anything grand to add to the genre, aside from the location.The film's first act is nothing special – with a young Spanish woman & the local gravedigger trekking through the countryside while avoiding zombies – although it does have some decent gore on display. The second act is much better, with the survivors travelling through the countryside at night (if you've ever wondered whether zombies can sleep, that question is answered here – although the Irish undead do it while standing up!), a setup that has some modest atmosphere to it. But McMahon drops the ball again when it comes to the third act. Despite much gore, the climax follows zombie tradition to the letter but doesn't do anything particularly special with it.The actors are clearly professionals & all give good performances. There were some surprise zombie attacks, particularly the young girl, & some seriously ticked-off cows, as well as a downbeat ending that has the sole survivor placed into a containment pen with other survivors while their 'rescuers' clean up the infestation. Oh, & if you've ever wondered about the merits of fighting zombies using a vacuum cleaner, you'll be pleased to know that vacuum cleaners can work quite effectively on the undead.

Helena and her boyfriend Martin are driving through Leitrim county in rural Ireland when they hit a man on the road.They place the body in the car to take him with them only for the body to come back to life and bite Martin in the neck.Helena runs to a farmhouse to get help,only to be attacked by zombies that close in all around,which include the now dead Martin.The local gravedigger Desmond comes to her aid.They flee through the countryside,joined by various others, avoiding zombies that appear everywhere.It appears that the outbreak has been caused by humans eating meat infected with Mad Cow Disease."Dead Meat" is very gory and I applaud it for that.The acting is surprisingly professional and the climax is surprisingly downbeat in the vein of Romero's "The Crazies".Check it out.

It seems weird that I find myself complaining this movie is too short, given how many movies are at least an hour too long these days, but Dead Meat really needed more space. It's tiny 70 minute run time barely gives it time to introduce characters, let alone explain it's whacked-out plot-line.While Dead Meat is getting itself cracking, it's pretty cool. For one, it's daylight, which is a little different for these movies, and the sprightly camera work recalls movies like Braindead and the Evil Dead series (if a little less proficient than those two.). Still, it already has problems. The plot suggests that it's trying to be funny, but aside from a few bad taste laughs at gore shots, you won't be finding this movie remotely funny. It's got more in common with Night of the Living Dead than Bad Taste, and almost all the laughs come at the expense of the gore-shots, which are messy but very derivative (aside from one fantastic instance involving a vacuum cleaner and an eyeball.) and no gore-hound will be particularly impressed with what's on offer, originality wise.It sucks at being scary too. Zombie attacks are badly handled, with no real scares to speak of and shoddy lighting and direction leading to a lot of confusion as to who's fighting who. Not that you'll care, with the exception of undertaker Des, the characters are weak and badly written, not that you'd notice given most of them are packing effected accents that garble half their lines. I'm not talking about the Irish guys either. Main character Helena is indecipherable for a lot of the run-time.I wish this film had carried through on it's excellent first half, but once a plot has to come out, it just doesn't have the goods. The only real joy you can pull out of this movie is if you view it as a cheap gore flick and go in for the blood, as it has a lot, and it's surprisingly nasty for a 15. If you REALLY dig gore and don't care how bad movies are if they have good gore shots, check this out, if not, I'd avoid it. Oh, and on a side note, the ending sucks. Do yourself a favour, avoid this and rent Versus or Undead instead.

The tourist Helena (Marián Araújo) and her mate Martin (David Ryan) are traveling by car through the County of Leitrim, Ireland, when Martin hits a man. He brings the body to his car, and the corpse returns to live and bites him. Helena looks for help in a cottage and is attacked inclusive by Martin. Sooner she realizes that the place is infested of zombies. She meets the gravedigger Desmond (David Muyllaert) and they cross the countryside trying to find a safe place. They meet another couple and they become aware that the mad cow disease has infected humans transforming them in living dead."Dead Meat" is a sort of Irish remake of "Night of the Living Dead". Gore and cult, it works very well, with an excellent camera, frantic in the movements, and great make-up and special effects. In some moments, this trash movie is so bloody that recalls Peter Jackson's "Braindead". My vote is eight.Title (Brazil): "Dead Meat – O Banquete dos Zumbis" ("Dead Meat – The Banquet of the Zombies")
