Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Btexxamar I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.

Motompa Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.

Platypuschow The Meat Puppet would fall under the torture porn category, yet has no actual torture porn. Yes I know that makes no sense but bear with me. It tells the story of a man with an abusive upbringing who now grown up has his share of mental health issues. He lives with the woman who raised him in place of his parents (Who he has sex with by the way despite her referring to him as her son). He repeatedly brings girls back to his house, imprisons them, tortures them, kills them and then erm............cooks and eats them.So thats the plot, and it's executed as well as you'd expect. And by that I mean terribly. No "Torture porn" as you'd expect, no interesting plot, no decent soundtrack, no competent cinematography, a forgettable cast and lackluster script.What I'm trying to get across is that this is a mess of a film, poorly constructed and literally ticks none of the boxes you would expect and has no redeeming qualities.Whats makes matters worse is how shilled this film is. The ratings are clearly bias! I don't mean that in an arrogant fashion claiming that nobody could possibly like this film, I simply mean let's not kid ourselves about the number of 10's it has recieved.The Good:That would be a noThe Bad:Made my skin crawl in placesFails to meet already low expectationsHas no redeeming features, everything ranges from poor to pitifulThings I Learnt From This Movie:A torture porn movie with no torture porn is like watching one of those terrible Kardashian shows. Oh wait, no that is torture.Shill ratings damage a movies credibility not add to it

a_baron This is a film that tries to walk the line between horror and black humour; it fails spectacularly. How best to describe "The Meat Puppet" - Ted Bundy meets Jeffrey Dahmer? Indeed, for true crime buffs there is a rather obvious cultural reference to Bundy when our creepy serial killer cannibal picks up a girl at the beach. Like Bundy he has his arm in a sling. This appears in the 2002 film "Ted Bundy"as does the scene where he freaks out in his car; in the Bundy film that was after Carol DaRonch (renamed Tina Gabler) fought him off and escaped; here it is in a different context. This film fails in so many ways it is difficult to give it any credit at all; Keith Collins plays the psychopathic Drew Shelton in an intentionally creepy fashion, but rather than creepy he is annoying. Even the incestuous relationship with his aunt misses the mark. "The Meat Puppet" was obviously made on a low budget; that along with the poor script seals its fate. It earns one point for the soundtrack, which should have been more extensive.

Woodyanders The toxic product of a horribly abusive childhood, serial killer Andrew Shelton (a fine and credible performance by Keith Collins) not only has an obsession for perfection, but also an insatiable appetite for the flesh of beautiful young women which he satisfies in more ways than one. Hard-nosed detective Dave Benash (well played by Brandon Ruckdashel) zeroes in on busting Andrew, who has become infatuated with his latest intended victim Terri (an appealing portrayal by Daniela Rivera).Director Joe Valenti relates the grimly engrossing story at a steady pace, grounds the premise in a believably gritty workaday reality, and does a chillingly persuasive job of presenting Andrew as a smooth and charming predator (in an especially inspired touch, the handsome and muscular Andrew registers outwardly as gorgeous on the inside, but proves to be seriously ugly and rotten on the inside). The bleak script by Billy and Joseph Pepitone tackles such dark and disturbing subject matter as abuse, incest, and cannibalism in a fiercely unflinching manner. Geri Reischl, a far cry from her wholesome main claim to fame as Jan Brady, contributes a deeply creepy turn as Andrew's evil and domineering aunt Claire Thomas. The violence is more implied than shown, but still packs a pretty nasty punch just the same. Valenti's crisp widescreen cinematography provides an impressive polished look. Ron 'Bumblefoot' Thol's shivery score hits the flesh-crawling spot. However, this film's key triumph is the way it successfully depicts Andrew as a tragic and tormented human monster that the viewer can't help but feel more than a bit sorry for. An effective little shocker.
