The
Meateater
A husband and wife team from the suburbs move to
the big city and purchase a run-down movie theater
with high hopes of rejuvenating it as a family-run
business. Unfortunately, unseen trouble is afoot,
as the theater is home to a "Phantom of the
Opera" like madman murderer with an obsession
for 1930's movie siren Jean Harlow. Not surprisingly,
bodies begin piling up the minute the theater reopens
and the new owner’s daughter finds herself
in peril due to her uncanny resemblance to Harlow!
The film was marketed as a late 70’s slasher/gore
film ala Friday the 13th or Halloween but in reality,
it has little gore and finds most of its appeal
coming from the shockingly hilarious script which
puts the film in the ever popular “so bad
it’s good” category.” Be sure
not to miss the police detective who likes to bring
his bag of beef jerky with him to murder scene investigations!
