Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Some teens are sent to a juvenile detention facility. They fall foul of the guards who, having eaten the bad meat of the title (served up in soup by the cook), want to eat the teens.This is fairly routine horror fare, with cardboard characters going through a Last Man Standing zombie victim routine which isn't very well done. I don't mind it being predictable and treading a well-worn path, I don't even mind the rubbish acting, but I do object to it being dull. If you're going to be rubbish, at least be entertaining rubbish.Elizabeth Harnois and Dave Franco have gone on to better things. They could hardly have gone on to something worse.

The movie has the same old premise as a gazzilion other movies. Several different stereotypes of troubled teens meet in of those messed up semi concentration camps where that are currently popular amongst the most incompetent and douchiest parents in the USA There is failed attempts at trying to delve deeper into the characters but as mentioned it's a failure.The movie was badly shot as well and the scene didn't follow smoothly. The music was one of the most horrible things I have ever seen. It didn't fit at all with the movie scenes and it was just plain bad. I tried to look at the credits to see who was responsible for this failure but the man was apparently so ashamed of himself he is not credited. I don't know how talented and actors Like Elisabeth Harnois and Dave Franco got suck with this abomination. I am guessing they either lost a bet or the director held heir family hostage. But they both deserve so much better Oh yes speaking of the director he seems to have a vomiting fetish that he explores fully in this movie. Yeah let that sink it. The few gratuitous underwear shots of the girls really dodn't make up for the extensive vomiting. This movie is a failure. Don't watch it

This movie wasn't too bad actually, quite funny and enjoyable... in a "so bad it's good" kinda way. 6 wayward teens (3 guys, 3 girls) are sent to a bootcamp-style camp (Camp Hardway - lol) where overly aggressive & all-round a**hole staff make their stay a living hell. The cook though seems to make a stew with some "Bad Meat" which only the staff eat, and after a night of extreme vomiting they all turn into flesh-eating Zombie rip-offs. And the wayward teens are on the menu. All inter-cut with rather weird hospital scenes of the lone survivor(?) in a hospital bed with the worst mummy body-bandaging you'll ever see (blood oozing from everywhere). How the film ended (i'm not calling it "an ending") was terrible. It just abruptly ended with so much left unexplained - like they ran out of budget haha. The inter-cut hospital scenes didn't add anything either, i couldn't even tell who the patient was supposed to be. i'd recommend this if you're in the mood for a no-brainer gore-fest (that you can have a laugh at) if you find it at your video store for a $1 or $2 weekly rental, or if you find it on the net or TV. 4/10.

First of all, I am aware that "Bad Meat" suffered a lot of problems during its production. The original director Rob Schmitt was replaced by Lulu Jarmen, who was making her directorial debut (and first experience in film whatsoever according to IMDb.) There were also issues with funding, and at one point it was announced that the film had been canceled. So it was understandable that the final product would probably be a little bit shaky at times.However, it still wasn't any less painful to see just how badly edited the film was due to its potential. The final cut of "Bad Meat" was less than eighty minutes long. After a very confusing opening sequence the film quickly switches to a clear plot about a group of unruly teenagers arriving at a Boot Camp run by over-aggressive workers. Although things soon go from bad to worse for as the staff begin to contract a disease, causing them to vigorously release every bodily fluid known to man and then turn into flesh-eating maniacs. It's fairly simple and it works, however it is continuously and rudely interrupted from brief clips developing from the opening sequence over and over again, which don't contribute anything to the storyline. I would later find out these were not added until the last minute after the original cast had finished filming, nor were they actually scripted (which does make a whole lot of sense seeing how awkwardly they are crammed in.) This could not be made more apparent by the abrupt manner in which the film just sharply ends and cuts to the credits, with no prior indication it was nearing the conclusion. In fact, at the time I felt that the film was really starting to get interesting.The most frustrating thing about "Bad Meat" is that it was very fun to watch, and even if the opening and ending had been remotely logical it would have been a very solid horror film overall. Yet due to the merciless butchering it received in the editing room the final result is too short and too uneven to be considered a good movie.My final rating - 6.5/10. The bulk of the film was thoroughly entertaining hence this rating, and despite the extremely shoddy editing, it is not a movie I regret seeing. Hopefully someone has another crack at making the plot clearer before publicly releasing it.
