If you thought Weekend at Bernie’s was too lighthearted and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre didn’t have enough fashion photography, then VVomb Studio has cooked up something uniquely disturbing just for you.
The trailer for the new psychosexual thriller Electric Meat has officially dropped ahead of its world premiere at Tubi FrightFest on August 28. Directed by comic book visionary Dan Schaffer (The Scribbler, Doghouse), this film is shaping up to be the year’s most uncomfortable watch.
A Butcher With a Bad Case of “Artist’s Block”
The story follows a photographer who pays the bills working as a local butcher. When he discovers one of his favorite models murdered in an alleyway, he doesn’t call the police. Instead, he leans into his day job’s unique skill set and decides to keep her around as his new “muse.”
But here’s the kicker: he becomes convinced that she’s caught in a state of quantum undead-ness—sort of like Schrödinger’s corpse. She’s both alive and dead, and she’s starting to get real tired of being a prop. The “posable doll” begins rebelling, transforming from a silent subject into a full-blown vengeful revenant.
A Descent Into Madness
As his “inspiration” begins to haunt him, the butcher turns to his landlady—an unhinged former model with a massive grudge. She’s dangerous, she’s psychotic, and she’s ready to take his “art” to a place the police would definitely find concerning.
The film features a killer trio of genre veterans, including Caspian Faye (Cat Skin), Emily Booth (Evil Aliens, Doghouse), and Nina Courson.
With Dan Schaffer at the helm, expect a film that’s as visually stylized as a graphic novel and as gritty as a slaughterhouse floor. Catch Electric Meat when it premieres at Tubi FrightFest on August 28. Maybe skip lunch before you watch. Check out the trailer below.
Commenting on the film’s Official Selection at Tubi FrightFest, Director and Writer, Dan Schaffer said; “It’s a thrill to have the world premiere of Electric Meat on our home turf in London at one of the world’s leading horror festivals. FrightFest has long championed bold and innovative genre cinema and we’re honoured to have Electric Meat become part of that tradition.”
