Gore and Cult

Warning: Spoilers
The tourist Helena (Marián Araújo) and her mate Martin (David Ryan) are traveling by car through the County of Leitrim, Ireland, when Martin hits a man. He brings the body to his car, and the corpse returns to live and bites him. Helena looks for help in a cottage and is attacked inclusive by Martin. Sooner she realizes that the place is infested of zombies. She meets the gravedigger Desmond (David Muyllaert) and they cross the countryside trying to find a safe place. They meet another couple and they become aware that the mad cow disease has infected humans transforming them in living dead.

"Dead Meat" is a sort of Irish remake of "Night of the Living Dead". Gore and cult, it works very well, with an excellent camera, frantic in the movements, and great make-up and special effects. In some moments, this trash movie is so bloody that recalls Peter Jackson's "Braindead". My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "Dead Meat – O Banquete dos Zumbis" ("Dead Meat – The Banquet of the Zombies")
