Simply A Masterpiece

An Exercise In Nonsense

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

The first movie was just awful but one year later the makers came back with a more polished effort in part 2 (the saying "you can polish a turd but it's still a turd" springs to mind!). Probably less plot here, more focus on action. And there's plenty of that. They have upped the gore & to be fair, given the micro budget, they have done a reasonable job. Lighting & production values are improved, sadly the acting hasn't. We still get gratuitous shower scenes but here, be warned, we get a guy playing with erect penis!

More than a year after the events of Meat Market, the few survivors, Argenta, Nemesis, and others, struggle for survival against the undead in the ruins of what was once society. In their search for a safe haven they come across what appears to be the last refuge of humanity - a fortified compound run by former motivational speaker Bill Wilhelm and his cult of heavily armed fanatics. But when Argenta is subjected to indoctrination techniques and her comrades imprisoned, she begins to suspect that deep within the compound, more is going on than a simple attempt to rebuild...that Bill and his followers have more than one use for the living and the undead alike...a low budget 28 days later anyone?The gore was simply the main attraction for this movie. Judging by those standards....it was only a little above average. The gore includes: arrows in the head, blown up heads, head slicing, skinned bodies, gun shots, bit fingers, GROSS insects, and tons of flesh eating! The effects are nice looking for the budget, but I would have liked to see a little bit more. I think they did the best with what they had.The sets were impressive for a really low budget. I'm not too sure how Clement pulled all of that together. At times the audio was shifty which got a little distracting. The main attraction was the sound effects...utterly NASTY...they went all out with the squishy noises. The editing had its ups and downs also. The best editing were the dream sequences..there was some slow/fast motion and quick edits that were done really professionally. On the other hand simple cut edits were off at places that really bothered me and hurt the acting even more.This movie seemed to be put together by people who knew one another. Therefore, there are not real actors involved. That being said, they were still extremely average at best. The two leading girls could use a little work on the acting skills. Claire Westby has the lead but she also helps Clement produce it looks like. I think she's actually got some potential. Alison Therriault is really pretty too and actually does a half way decent job. Rob Nesbitt played the dictator well...I think he was actually the best actor...I'm not sure why I liked him so much. As much good as I've said...the acting doesn't really flow at all.Final Thoughts: The gore was the main attraction to the film, and it was pretty impressive with the budget. Brian Clement's direction and make-up skills appealed to me quite a bit. This came out in 2001 and had a VERY similar premise to 28 days later...pretty original!

The story of "Meat Market 2" involves a scrappy pack of neo-punkers and their vampire friend as they struggle to survive in a post-apocalyptic wasteland lousy with the wandering,bloodthirsty zombies and few resources to get by on.I haven't seen "Meat Market",so I can't compare that film to its sequel.Still "Meat Market 2" is clearly influenced by Italian zombie and post-apocalypse flicks.The film is loaded with tons of gore and maggots,but the violence is not as bloody as I expected.In fact the gore scenes are quite cheesy and amateurish.Still I liked grisly make-up of several zombies.The acting is atrocious and the story is highly influenced by George A.Romero's "Day of the Dead".On the other hand,I'd rather watch "Meat Market 2" again than endure the garbage of "Zombie Brigade" or "Oasis of the Zombies" one more time.So if you like low-budget splatter mayhem give this one a try,but Brian Paulin's "Bone Sickness" is a much better zombie film.

I finally got to see the sequel to what is now one of my favorite films, Meat market. Meat Market 2 is another low budget masterpiece from Brian Clement. If you thought the first movie was fun, you have not seen anything yet. This time, it's a year after the first film. A few characters from the first movie, plus a new guy are still trying to survive. They end up in a very Day of the Dead-esque setting, with a facist cult leader who is trying to set up a new society of desirables. Ok, enough plot, on to the wicked s***. The characters again, are a mix of crazy/messed up people. My favorites being the crazed chef, and the meat f*cker. Yes that's right, i did say meat f*cker. There is also a lunatic scientist who has many funny scenes. His explanation for doing experiments is goddamn classic. The special effects are again great for such a low budget. The acting is....well, what can i say? I loved it for what it was. It never tried to hard to be something it wasn't. (The vampire finally bites someone!) There is also brief reappearance of El Diablo Azul, and it gave me a reason to live again. As a big zombie fan(aka person with no life), i absolutely loved Meat Market 2. Entertaining to the point that you wanna run out and make your own zombie film. Thanks again people, you are gods. Thanks for great cinema.
