Lunch Meat

[WesReviews]

Just won an auction for this title on ebay. I remember the box artwork from when I was a kid, but I never saw the movie. Being a collector of rare horror flicks, I figured I'd check it out (since it's pretty rare). Has anyone seen this flick? The VHS box has a bald, brute lookin' lumberjack sorta guy eating from a bloody arm.

I can't imagine it being very good. So, in my search for rare horror...what have I gotten myself into? :)

A pile of crap.

Maybe.

I bought a el cheapo Video Treasures (remember them?) VHS back in the late 80's that was Lunch Meat, but its cover art consisted of only a raised fork drenched in fresh blood.

Could be the same movie. Probably is the same movie. However, I'm not 100% sure.

If it is the same movie...well, I paid for it and never finished it. Hopefully, you have a different movie altogether.

At any rate, here is a review of somebody's Lunch Meat:

I remember renting it many, many years ago, and I remember practically nothing about the movie. It must not have been very good! :evil:

The video you're thinking of is THE MEATEATER...which, coincidentally, I also recently won from eBay. :)

Lunch Meat and The Meateater together has the makings to be either the greatest double feature in the world...or quite possibly the worst. :)

Ahhh, The Meateater. I too bought the VHS off ebay sometime last year. I think I actually won it for a whopping penny! It was a movie which I had rented years before and for some reason stuck in my brain. The acting is just terrible beyond words, and the "G" rated-only theater in the movie is just hilarious! :lol:

Well, it looks the same.....

...but for some reason, the plot details in the reviews for it don't come close to what I remember seeing. I don't remember anything about a theater. I just remember a bunch of cheap nasty backwoods villians in a rural setting.

Now, I know what you're saying. You're like "But c'mon man...how many video boxes had a raised fork drenched in blood for their cover art?!? The fork man! Don't forget the fork!!!"

And I agree. It's just that I was happy when you corrected me.....because it brought back some nostalgic moments.....and then I discovered that I was even more confused with more knowledge than I was when I knew nothing.

Did what I type even make sense? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v676/MissionCodeZ/40.gif

Well, at least you have both films now. You will not be going through the mental torture that I am now.

*sounds of brain squishing as giant vise on head is being tightened ever-so-slowly*

Oh yeah! I mean, just to see a marquee with those titles sandwiched together would be priceless! :)

You're thinking of a different movie then. The Meateater (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079541/) is like a cross between a generic slasher and Phantom of the Opera.

And here's the cover for Lunch Meat...
