Raw Meat (1972)

Rate: 3
Viewed: 5/24

5/24: Slow and boring, Raw Meat is a British snore horror picture that's also known as Death Line.

The movie poster is completely misleading. Donald Pleasence plays the most irreverent copper ever who's fucking useless like the tea bags that he keeps complaining about. If I were Alex, I would be pissed off at being called down to the station several times to be treated like a criminal when trying to be helpful.

What's with the long pan shots? Yeah, I get it. There are dead people down in the tunnel. Okay, so what? Move on...stop wasting time. Get on with the story. Instead, nothing happens for the longest time. The final ten minutes finally gets to the bottom of the mystery when it should've been checked out many years ago. It only got attention because some useless O.B.E. guy went missing.

All in all, Raw Meat is worthless.
