Meat Grinder, The

A poverty stricken woman starts a restaurant where she slaughters people and serves up human flesh, cut from her victims.

There is a nice balance of brutal violence, slow painful torture and stomach churning depravity all wrapped up in a disconcerting yet nicely paced story, maintaining interest throughout and soaked in a layer of brilliant crimson. The special ingredient in Buss’ noodles is soylent green and this is obvious from the offset so no spoilers here, the beauty of Meat Grinder is the arduous process the human ingredients endure to maintain the high quality meat that Buss’ customers expect. The meat has to be hung, tenderised and undergoes a process that PETA protesters, duck families of Foie Gras victims and galvage-widows would cherish as a means of retribution to any farmers force-feeding animals for the purpose of satisfying the hunger pangs of rich snobs. As is often the case in Asian horror movies there is no aversion to showing cruelty to children plus the voices in the killer’s head add a slightly supernatural feel which is subtle enough to be effective rather than seeming like J-Horror influenced Thai film.
