| User ReviewJon NThis Thai horror movie to me is more of an Art film, because it is truly remarkable and it looks amazing. You might think it is more of a send off of the short film DUMPLINGS from the "Three Extremes" dvd, but this is much much more. The movie revolves around Buss a woman trying to make it with a small dumpling shop, and one day a dead guy ends up in her shop, and she decides to grind him up and add the pieces into her dumpling recipe, which is a huge hit. Yes, this sounds like Sweeney Todd a little bit, but Buss is relentless as the movie moves on with her killing of practically everybody that comes in contact with her. Her business has gotten so good, that she is running out of bodies, so she goes where she has to for the yummy ingredients who customers love. This is very very gory as Buss chops and grinds up victims, and pretty much goes berserk in the end, killing everybody in site. The photography is sensational, as is the great soundtrack. The back story is that Buss was severely abused her whole life by her Mother, and Mother comes back in the end, depending on how you interpret the ending. THIS IS NOT TO BE MISSED. It's the real deal, and whether you are a gorehound, lover of Asian horror/gore, or just love offbeat movies, "Meat Grinder" fills the bill. It's not available in the States yet on DVD, but I assume it soon will be. |
| User ReviewJon PI can't put my finger on why asian horror movie directors are so fascinated with cannibalism. It is the third movie which I've seen that has a restaurant that serves human flesh as a delicacy, but is not known by the customers. The similarities with the other two movies end up here. Meat grinder is extremely well made, the soundtrack creates an atmosphere of a romance or a drama movie, the photography uses some scenes in black and white showing only the red of the blood. The camera, sometimes shaken, sometimes hold still, sometimes watching Buun from a far distance, captures the constant tension in a raw way. As always there is violence, torture, a meat grinder (literally), a lot of blood, but this time, the director depicts the extreme violence with a nuance of romance, something that is almost pleasent to see. But is definitely not. A must have movie. I just bought it on ebay. |
| User ReviewSimon PA mentally disturbed frenzy of delicious gore, this intelligent Thai horror is an artistic stomach churning feast that messes with your head too. Well structured and rather challenging viewing. |

| User ReviewTheMumblelover .A film that has a lot of underlying scores of issues that relate to culture, politics and family life, it's very gory and maybe sensationalist in that appeal but it works, it shocks, it startles and at times it seems to have some black comic moments, Interesting, intriguing and very bloody. |
| User ReviewJulio OA bit slow but the gore moments are worth the wait! For lovers of Asian horror! |
| User ReviewAmy HThis is a sad, beautiful, spell binding film about a woman in love facing the demons of her past....it's bloody, it is really grouse but with a purpose.....Mai Charoenpura is great as the lead and creates a crazy but sympathetic character.....watch this one... |
| User ReviewJerry CA Thai social satire hat involves a schizophrenic woman, cannibalism, and the strangest narrative ever. Artful gore with a layer of politics. A strange combination that has its moments. |
