Ron DeCaro's latest movie The Gateway Meat is a disturbing and sadistic film, that strays far from the normal conventions of the horror genre. It is about a group of Satanists, living in a quaint, coastal fishing town. As the film progresses we get to know the character played by DeCaro himself, Markus. The film is mainly about how Markus struggles as he tries to deal with the great expectations that are placed on him after his fathers death. Markus' father, who was a Satanist, was trying to open up a portal into hell. Now that he is gone, Markus must take the reigns, and gain the power that his father wanted. With the help of his family and a couple of friends, Markus murders his way to power, as his young, preschool aged daughter watches.

The movie isn't available online, not that I've seen anyways. Only a limited edition (limited to 1000) DVD is available through the production company.

Well since the movie is being mentioned in the latest issue of Rue Morgue, figured I'd make a post on it.
Essentially a one man project. Written, directed, edited, scored, produced by Ron DeCaro (an extremely nice guy, by the way). The movie often takes on a surreal, psychedelic quality in terms of both visuals and sound creating an assault on the senses. There are also quite a bit nasty moments in it too, such as the shots of a person getting stabbed in the face, dismemberment, a woman having a chunk of her back removed exposing the spine, etc. While there is a story here involving the sick satanic family and all their fellow sicko friends killing and torturing who ever they come across.
Often times the story is a little disjointed often not having a any real transition between scenes that might leave you scratching your head trying to figure out whats going on. While it doesn't make it a bad movie and isn't any where near as bad as SVD which appeard to be nothing more than a series of vomit and gore scenes strung together. I still would have like to have seen the story fleshed out a little more, and a little more coherent at times. Then the running time only being 70 minutes, are the only negative things I have to say about the movie.
Plus it has one of my all time favorite death scenes, the Columbian Necktie!
(If you don't know what a Columbian Necktie is, that is when a persons throat is slit then their tongue is pulled out through the slit.)
