"For those of you who don't like the fact that low budget filmmakers

resort to obvious low-budget special effects, be advised that director

Aiden Dillard got the idea for this film from his wish to create a

moving image of a papier mache cow, which is indeed one of the most

important scenes in the opening of the film. No cheap effects caused by

a lack of budget, but made intentionally the way they look. How I would

love to see Aiden Dillard making a film on a huge budget, he would

probably hand in the film under budget, like that other maestro Mario

Bava. No need to spend huge amounts of money if a fantastic imagination

is at hand! The rest of this film is just as imaginative, one of the

most original films from the last few years for those who (like me) get

sick of the ridiculously expensive but ever-so-uninteresting so-called

entertainment that Hollywood keeps vomiting out over us. It is

impossible to explain in a few lines what is going on in MEAT WEED

MADNESS, but if you are even remotely interested in film-making that is

a bit different you cannot afford not to buy this one. The DVD is also

loaded with extra's, amongst which is one of the most entertaining

audio-commentaries I have heard in a long time."

The craziest movie in the world!

"I've seen a lot of erotic horror comedy movies in my day and this one takes the cake. This Aiden Dillard guy who directed the movie must have been smoking a lot of meatweed when he wrote the script. I haven't seen such an amazing piece of trash filmmaking since Pink Flamingos. The nude scenes in this movie are worth the price alone. I'm not talking about normal nude scenes. The female stars of this movie are rarely dressed and when they are covered they're covered in blood. This movie makes me sick. I'm choking back the vomit right now. I loved it."
