Meat Grinder

This is a decent splatter movie that I watched. The story isn't anything too special with it being similar to other splatter movies out there, and the idea of a cook servicing up humans has been done before. But the movie does a good job of being both a slasher and psychological horror movie. It goes into but mind how she was treated in her backstory and how it drove her to doing the stuff throughout the movie. The movie is the struggle that she goes through and how it affects her mental state with her snapping in any part of the movie. Also, the movie tackles the themes of mental illness and the mistreatment of women, which the movie tackles pretty well on how it was executed. One flaw I have is that it feels disjointed on the pacing of it because it feels like things just happened and sometimes hard to follow what's going on in this movie. Also, there is a lot of weird editing in the movie that tries to show off her mental state, but it's weird when it happens. The ending itself is something that I try to figure out. I am going to focus on one of them because the rest aren't that interesting. But is a disturbed woman who has a violent past and has problems with her mental state. The movie does a good job of building her with her background and how she is treated throughout the movie. It goes into deeper with her mental state on how she snap by killing people and even serving them up to her customers. Even the relationship between the people she has with is a mixed bag on how she handled herself.

Meat Grinder is a mixed bag splatter movie that does a good job with its psychological horror and slasher elements. But the story feels disjointed in some areas.

This is a beautifully gruesome film. The visuals and music in this movie are amazing and draws you into this woman's life of mental anguish and bad luck.

The Meat Grinder is almost like your basic torture gore fest but Tiwa Moeithaisong makes it so much more then that and turns it into an enthralling, vibrant film that sucks you in entirely and plays with your emotions. This is a very sad, beautiful, spell binding film about a woman in love facing the demons of her past.

I'm trying to do my part to help raise the rating of this film on IMDb. 5.4 is really too low for a film this graphic, intense and psychologically unnerving. I recently got my hands on the regular cut and the 'Uncut' cut and the difference is like watch 'Barney & Friends' and 'Scarface'. Okay, that's a bit of a stretch, but you know what I mean.

The cut version is still relatively graphic, but because it is so heavily altered, a few scenes will make more sense once you see a little more backstory as in the full version.

There's nothing sexual about this movie so it can't be compared to torture porn. The focus here is the killings. They're intended to shock you right out of the room. It's a shame the cut version is so heavily butchered because you lose a lot. The uncut version I had was dubbed with a Russian male voice, but once I downloaded an English srt and synced it in Media Player Classic, it made more sense.

The English title of this movie (Meat Grinder) and the bloody cover with a woman feeding a person and eyeball should prepare you that this movie will not be an easy watch. It is dark and gritty and there's lots of blood and gore involved. You see our protagonist struggling with mental illness and her behavior being depicted as being part of an ongoing cycle of violence that she suffered as a child. And this ongoing cycle of violence is now passed to her daughter. So if you enjoy brutal Thai-splatter movies with a good amount of gore which is explicitly shown you might found yourself a movie here.

However the movie also has its flaws. It's probably personal preference but there's a weird blue and grey filter all throughout the movie which on one hand brings a nice contrast to all the red blood but on the other hand makes the movie look cheap and unrealistic. Also you are served with quite a number of flashbacks and scene shifting that got me wondering what is going on at times. Still I think this movie was a decent watch and I'm surprised that it barely has a thousand views here on IMDb. [5,4/10]

Wow. The film surprised me. I thought I would leave a comment because this film has so few reviews. This was a very romantic torture porn with a crazy woman who runs a restaurant and slashes her customers' or adversaries' calves and puts them up on meathooks as if Leatherface. But this is not The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and this is not Saw or Guinea Pig.

The film is worth watching for the visuals and great operatic music. The primary colors of blood and blue are saturated and the director makes what is boring about these types of movies vibrant. It is very eye magnetic.

I have found torture pornographies to be very dull and exploitative in a way that I do not like (e.g. Hostel 2), but this was different. And it is one of only three Thai horror films that I like. Check it out.
