Meat Kills
Star Rating: 4 out of 5 | Stream on Screambox
Mirthe wants to join an animal-rights activist group, but her first outing with them might be her last. They break into a pig farm to set all the animals free, but the activists are caught off-guard by the owner of the farm and his two sons. Violence escalates between the two factions, leading to a very gory situation. Though it’s not as bloody or extreme as some hyperbolic reviews would lead you to believe, Meat Kills is a very good movie. Some interesting questions about morality are brought up, and the steady increase in violence and gore (with a few bigger outbursts along the way) will satisfy many fans looking for modern films that echo some of the more violent movies of the 2000s.
Terror in the Woods
Star Rating: 2 out of 5 | Rent on Prime Video
Years ago, Lucas witnessed his father accidentally kill his friend Mathias and hide the boy’s body. It’s a secret Lucas and his father both kept, so when Lucas returns to his childhood home for his parents’ funeral, his guilt is nearly overwhelming. That’s nothing compared the pain Mathias’s father went through though, and the old man has a secret of his own. Terror in the Woods is okay once the revenge plot is finally acted on, but it is extremely tedious waiting for the characters to act on secrets that we, the audience, already know. There’s death-trap element to the story which is pretty good, but the payoff isn’t worth the wait.

New Trailers
Universal Pictures released a few behind-the-scenes looks at Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, so without a new horror trailer to post today, I thought these would work instead.
