Meat Me
in Plainville from Greth
Productions on Vimeo.
OK, here a low budget film that
could possibly be described as a black comedy were the ending, well, not so
black. We found it on io9,
where they explain "[writers & directors] Greg Hanson and Casey Regan channel an older B-movie aesthetic for
their short horror film Meat Me in Plainville. After all the livestock in
America die off, cannibalism becomes legal with unexpected consequences. Despite
being apparently set in the 'future' year 1994, Meat Me in Plainville debuted in
2012 at the Puchon International Fantastic Film Festival.* It takes its conceit
and turns it into something akin to a zombie movie where anyone could be a
flesh-craving monster."
OK, so let's place the film in an alternative reality
where, well, the government can't be trusted. (Wait! Isn't that our reality,
too?)
The acting is variable, the story effective and well thought-out, the
ending an open and bleak downer. We liked it, and so will you. Enjoy.
