If you haven’t seen @derykinastrangeland latest @deathwoods_movie on Screambox, wtf are you even doing? If you were impressed with his FX work in @meatthemovie you have no idea… AT ALL!!! 🤯 The fact that @realanthonydain and @katelynnenewberry headline the flick is merely bloody icing atop a gloriously gory cake.
Just one of the many friendly faces we ran into at @horrorhound this past weekend!

One last ride for @gatlingmovie. We rock til the wheels fall off. by @zachforzombies

Check out this cut scene from MEAT between siblings Noah @codysteele.jpg and Kayleigh @haylynnrose featuring a subplot that is fully omitted from the final film! Please note that this scene is not mixed nor scored, so it’s a bit choppy. We felt that it was simply too good of a character moment to never see the light of day.
MEAT the Movie is being trimmed to a standard two-hour distribution cut. This adjustment unfortunately leaves over 45 minutes of deleted scenes and subplots on the cutting room floor. Among these is a storyline where Noah must register as a sex offender to secure a shorter sentence and pursue career opportunities. Though this “scarlet letter” is unmerited, it represents his only viable legal arrangement. While this development deeply intensifies Noah’s struggles, the production team ultimately decided to cut it. We felt certain audiences might weaponize the situation against his character, despite subsequent plot points that fully absolve him.
