Fresh Meat
“A tasty comedy.”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 66, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
Criminals take a middle-class Maori family hostage and discover that their captives have unusual appetites. The New Zealand black comedy keeps reversing who should be afraid of whom. Cartoon violence and a deliberately dysfunctional household make the siege an increasingly messy negotiation.
