Details

Animals 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?

GamerTab That was an excellent one.
SoTrumpBelieve Must See Movie...
AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
Stevieboy666 A friend of mine lent me this on DVD but before I watched it, being the collector that I am, I decided instead to fork out £7 and buy my own copy. Big mistake! I only hope that part 2 is better because I bought that at the same time, though for half the price of the original. What we have here is an incredibly amateur, shot on video zombie flick with some female vampires, a masked Mexican wrestler & some very unsexy sex scenes thrown in. The lighting & sound is very poor, the plot is just yet another weak story about a military experiment going wrong. The British DVD cover states it is the uncut version, and yes there is plenty of (cheap) gore but nothing compared to many other zombie movies, so don't been lured in by that. Probably my favourite scene came near the end when the dead rise out of the ground, something lacking in many zombie movies.
Uriah43 After a medical experiment goes haywire, zombies are created and soon wreak havoc on the human populace. Most of the population are unable to deal with the situation and within only a few weeks are either consumed or turned into zombies themselves. However, one young man named "Shahrokh" (Paul Pedrosa) and a woman by the name of "Argenta" (Claire Westby) team up and manage to survive by scavenging what they need and finding a secure place to hide out. Then one day they meet up with three young ladies who have also managed to survive but as it turns out aren't what they appear to be. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this movie had potential as most of the actors seemed adequate for the task at hand. Unfortunately, rather than empowering them with a good script and the opportunity to demonstrate their abilities, the director (Brian Clement) chose to focus on poorly-developed action scenes, bad makeup and a plethora of cheap special effects. The decision to include a Mexican wrestler named "El Diablo Azul" (Cam Pipes) for comedic value was especially awful. Likewise, there were a couple of sex scenes which may have crossed the line into X-rated territory. Not that any of them were all that interesting or erotic. Again, this movie had potential but the wandering plot, bad dialogue and the inability of the director to play to his strengths and minimize his weaknesses doomed this movie from the very beginning. Because of that I have rated this film accordingly. Bad.
greenflea2 This movie is low budget trash, it was that so bad, i never even bother watching the end. It has poor special effects, low budget. poor acting, if you want to call those in this movie, actors, a dumb plot and just so stupid and daft, i don't there any words for this movie.These sort of movies are giving zombies a bad name, at the rate with these sort of movies, the word zombie will soon mean, poorly made movie.Just to prove how bad this movie, there is a soldier who appears in this movie and refuses to take his mask off, however i don't blame him for not wanting to be link to this trash. He even has sex with a vampire, with his mask still on, so that proves, he wanted to make sure no-one could see who he was.The cause of this zombie plague, when i heard this, i wasn't sure if i should burst out into tears or laughter. Its cause by very tiny robots, so a scientist tells the main characters when they made inquires.There is another scene, were a couple are having sex, were its very obviously a bucket of blood and gore is pour over them.In another scene, a cop blows his brains. The blood that flies out does not look like blood, but colored water, which it is. Most of the blood in this movie, does not look like blood at all.There is sex and gore in this movie, yet none of the women involved are babes, most of them are fat and ugly. Those who you would consider babes, just keep their clothes on through-out the movie.Most of the people who in this movie are not actors, they look like underground types drag out of a underground nightclub by the director.There is a few good ideas thrown into this movie, like vampires, but this does not save the movie, and it seems that the vampires have no problems in walking around in daylight.There is a few sub plots in this movie, mostly involving police fighting the zombies.The imbecile who made this movie, obviously don't have a clue in making movies and should seriously seek other employment. The company who made this movie, claims it has Hollywood under siege. Well with trash like this, Hollywood does not have anything to worry about, and can make far better zombie movies than this company can.
The-Kurgan Y'know what really gets my panties in a bunch? When a bad movie comes out, and then the people behind it go around to all the movie websites and pose as fans, leaving tons of "Oh wow, it was wonderful!" messages all over the place. I'm the victim of this sort of crap. I read reviews of Meat Market in a couple of places, and they were drooling with approval and gushing with praise. I encourage you to take a closer look at the other people posting here on IMDB about this and other Sub-Rosa movies. Notice anything familiar upon closer inspection? Yup, you got it. If the movie's any good, why do you think they need to trick people into buying it? Meat Market is a travesty. I bought this puppy because I'm a long-time Zombie film fan, and had heard that MM was supposed to rival Dawn of the Dead in its own way, even though the budget was low and it was technically a B-movie. No biggie, thought I, cuz I love b-movies, too. Eagerly I grab my new purchase and race for home and my trusty DVD player, a fellow movie buff in tow for the shared experience!Right away I can tell something's wrong. The acting wasn't just bad, it was can't-watch-the-movie-because-the-horrible-acting-is-upstaging-everything-el se kindof bad. Truly horrible. Then I begin to realize that the writing was also at fault. The dialogue was just plain stupid. People simply don't talk that way; another distraction from the "story." I glance over at my friend (we're only a short way in at this point), and he's looking back at me like I just shoved an anthrax-coated toothpick in his eye. Back to the movie... Supposedly, the dead are walking the streets, and people are running for their lives, shooting at the fake zombies if they're lucky enough to have guns. Apparently the zombies only congregate where there are cameras, because the background is still filled with moving cars, and other "normal" aspects of life. Sheesh. Corpses that are "killed" miraculously appear again in other scenes, as do a couple of victims that I was pretty sure had gotten killed a little while ago. The police act like Keystone Kops, the make-up and special effects are just plain horrible. Wanna look like a zombie? Rub some blackout under your eyes and wrinkle your clothing. Viola! Tom Savini would be embarrased. The plot continues to get more bizarre and make absolutely no sense, and while you're still mentally trying to get this atrocity to make sense, you're hit with more strangeness from left field, such as vampires that suddenly appear in skimpy, ridiculous outfits and continually pose for the camera wherever it's at while spewing forth the worst dialogue in stunted, I've-never-acted-before-in-my-life speech.I can see how this may have looked good on paper as an initial idea. Zombies and vampires, world falling apart, gun-toting survivors, etc. Yeah, sign me up, sounds great. Unfortunately, both the script and the execution of the idea (makeup, effects, acting, dialogue, etc.) are so bad the movie literally isn't watchable. My friend got up halfway through the film, gave me a dirty look like I'd just played the worst dirty trick on him ever, and walked out. I gave it another five minutes and gave up, too. Dirty trick indeed. On us. Do yourself a favor, don't even rent this. Even Mike, Tom Servo, & Crow couldn't sit through this one. You've been warned.
