Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

As Good As It Gets

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

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.

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...

What sets this movie aside from countless low/no budget zombie flicks? I would say all of the "basics" SOOOOOOO many zombie movies out there just forget the basics, and they produce crap as the result. This movie is an exception to that. In Meat Market, you have good lighting (which most zombie flicks lack ), good background noises ( like zombie munching noises, cracking bones, moaning of zombies in the background), and some good camera angles.All of the above is what helps set this movie one notch above the countless other flicks that are being made. I'll admit, for the fist 40 minutes the storyline was kinda here and there, but after that, the movie "gelled" together rather well. The introduction of vampires into the mix was taken well, and i applaud this move. Two things bothered me about the movie though, one was the title "Meat market", clearly this should have had some sort of "zombie apocalypse/zombie universe/ living end " sorta title. "Meat Market" makes it sound like you're gonna watch a totally different sort of horror movie. And two, too much useless sex. I can't believe i just typed that, but c'mon. I think the movie could have went on more fluently without the random acts of lesbianism/shower scenes (i know i'll hear it for that one)Anyway, like 99% of us living dead zombie fans, i say rent/buy this movie, you probably won't be disappointed. Especially when you think about they only had like 2grand to make this with. That alone i was totally shocked at. I figured the budget to be like 11g's or so. But i guess the director had some friends who pulled strings, and that's what it's all about, good stuff!

Where do you start with something this terrible? Shooting on video is always a good sign of the badness to follow. Why do these 'home movie' enthusiasts never, ever get real actors? Most struggling actors will work for free and they will do a much better job than the producer's buddy. The only entertainment in this is just how bad the sound and editing are. The sounds of 'eating' were added whenever a zombie attacked, but it sounded like they had swallowed the mic. My favorite sound was the audible friction created by the plastic pants on the thunder-thighed lesbo vampires...embarrassing all around. And why wouldn't you (I guess I'm talking to the makers of this) at least read a book on how to write screenplays because there was no discernible story or ending! And, finally, for god's sake spend the money on film school…if you went then go again and pay attention this time!

Brian Clement is a force to deal with in the independent horror film genre. With Meatmarket 1 and 2 and now Binge and Purge Brian has taken zombie films back to the classics with gore, story, social commentaries and just good old fashion film making with his love and respect of horror shining through his art.On his shoe string budget I was really surprised at my first taste of his film work with Meatmarket. Truly worthy of any horror geeks film collection we are shown a world of power, greed, social ignorance and the human food chain. ( not only zombies feed on mankind) What can I say. I am a fan.
