DEAD MEAT is one of the latest entries in the FANGORIA'S GOREZONE and there be gore o'plenty here!! There are zombies, zombies, zombies! And the heroes kill them in various horrific ways that leave the blood and guts a'spurtin'.
I really can't say much about the plot or the characters because they really didn't serve any purpose except to kill the zombies. If zombies are your thing, this film would be the one for you. However, if you like a story with your images of the undead, this might not be your cup of tea.
So, if you're willing to check your brain at the dead, here's DEAD MEAT.

Honestly, large swaths of this movie bored me. I just couldn't get into it. Not to mention the fact that the thick Scottish accents of several of the characters made the dialogue quite unintelligible for the latter half of the movie. Maybe I should have watched it with subtitles... Heh.
Some of the zombie fight scenes near the end were decent enough, but it still didn't seem enough to salvage the movie. Even the "zombie" mad cow didn't quite do it for me. Overall the movie seemed a bit plodding.
Perhaps one of the better micro-budget flicks. Certainly better than American Zombie or Zombies Anonymous. But I'd recommend Last of the Living hands down over this one any day of the week...

For a very low budget zombie flick this one has a good story line and some interesting twists that I have not seen before. Expect to see very cheap effects, but an enthusiastic cast makes the most of the lack of budget and turn this one into a worthwhile film for zombie lovers.

"Who knew that Ireland would come up with a funny low budget zombie flick I certainly didn't. The directing was brilliant and the film was like an homage or tribute to Romero's living dead trillogy, chaos ensues across the country when a rare strain of mad cow disease turns people into flesh-eating zombies. I thought that the small zombified kids at the birthday party was a nice touch and there were alot of other great scenes like that which makes this film uniqe and different from the other straight to video garbage that just ends up being the same over and over again. I highly recommend this film and two thumbs up!."
ALMOST PERFECT ZOMBIE MOVIE - MUST SEE FOR ZOMBIE FANS!!!

"MAD COWS AND ZOMBIES!!! Finally a Zombie Movie Done Right! I Would place this in the Top 3 Zombie Movies from the past few years (...or ever for that matter...) right up there with "UNDEAD" and "SEAN OF THE DEAD". Non-Stop Zombie action from start to finish, Cool Zombies and Lots of Them (although not as cool as the zombies in UNDEAD) Plenty of Gore (I don't think I have ever seen as many be-headings in one zombie film...) and Just the right amount of Humor! The Vacuum cleaner scene will go down in Zombie History!!! The Final Zombie Horde scene is Great, and just the way a Zombie film should be. Good Story, Excellent Acting by all (the old cursing Irishman is hilarious!) Good Pace and a heck of a Good Time watching! As soon as I was done watching it, I watched it a second time. This will Defenetly become a Favorite with Zombie Fans! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - MUST HAVE IN YOUR ZOMBIE DVD COLLECTION!!!"
Dead Meat is a watchable zombie film. Countryside Zombies!!

"Okay, if you've seen "Let Sleeping Corpses Lie", there are similarities: country setting with zombies, survival of a woman and those she meets.
Mad Cow disease takes a rare form, turning people into zombies. Only about six survivors in a countryside of about seventy zombies, scattered about. The gore is decent, the directing has a documentary feel, the acting works. Not much story other than run, but it's not bad, filled with plenty of daylight and night scenes, Dead Meat is a good, watchable zombie film, though LSCL is still a better film. Plenty of slow moving zombies and passable make up give it a point. The country atmosphere really helps keep this unique."
Pleasant Surprise

"I really was expecting rubbish. How many utterly dull horror films have we endured? Yes, like me, you have sat through some shockers. Brrrrrrrrr. Here was another with a lousy cover, but I was forced to try it (like all the others - why do we do it to ourselves?) in the hope of a pleasant surprise. A miracle, the film is Irish, and quite okay. Nice mad cow. Nice zombie action. Entertaining and worth the trouble. Not likely to be a classic . . . but perfectly watchable."
Gory fun

"Old school fx, at least 6 or 7 beheadings, dudes with really thick Irish accents chopping zombies up with shovels. One lady even gets eaten by a crazy cow... If you like zombie movies what more could you want?"
