Reaches too far
Firstly let me say that this film can only ever flop dead outside of New Zealand. It's humour is directed at New Zealanders and only them so anyone from outside these islands will only be able to watch as all the jokes fly far over their heads.
Unfortunately this film reaches too far in an attempt to combine an action with a horror/slasher film. As such it doesn't have enough action or gore to fully fit into either category and unfortunately the comedy is often sub par. While either plot could have been funny and successful singularly, there is not enough time inside 90 minutes to do them justice together.
Temuera Morrison performs well, as per usual, and is surrounded by a cast of unknown kiwi actors, which is also usual for a purely NZ film, yet unfortunately even he cannot carry this entire movie to brilliance.
I wish the cast and crew well and hope their next effort hits the mark spot on as this one was damned close.

Finally a true original. Tired os sifting through half baked film plots ? Watch this film.
I hate to be so cliche' but, this movie is a true diamond in the rough. If you are tired of getting ten minutes into a dumb movie only to turn it off, this will bring back the hope that there are still good stories to be told. A healthy helping of action, a pinch of horror, a dash of gore and you have a recipe for a truly disturbing yet fun film to sate your movie watching appetite. With a love story for dessert.
Watch the meat, son!
"Watch the meat, son!" I actually thought the movie New Zealand film was dead after Jackson only makes main Stream and also "Black Sheep" could not start the fire. But "Fresh Meat" yes indeed is, the film sensation of the year from the land of shepherds: A mixture of "Pulp Fiction" and "The Green Butchers", a blend of from cannibalism and lesbian action: I say: thumbs up, Keep up the New Zealand! You're back on the right path, a path that once began with "Braindead" and unfortunately threatened to end in a stalemate with the "Hobbit" and has now re-elected with "Fresh Meat" the right course! Brilliant! Especially the native New Zealandish tribal action rocks. This movie is really a must see!
Great movie
If you enjoy gore comedy, this movie is just for you .
A non Hollywod movie that is worth watching indeed.
Now this is comedy
I saw another cannibal movie earlier today called cannibal carpet fitters wich was such a garbage movie, also suppose to be funny but could not even smile
But fresh meat was a funny cannibal movie, this is comedy, a good entertaining funny movie, good acting, good story and well done production
Its not blow you of the chair and it dont sparkle, its a typical 5-6 star comedy, I think on the minus side is the material was little week , could have needed some more ideas and the sexual parts was a bit annoying only , but yet a total ok movie
Could read some reviews that lots of people didnt like this atall, some clown thought this was worst movie ever , well guess its the same jokers who thought cannibal carpet fitters was funny.
