What begins as an idealistic mission ends in a nightmare in Meat Kills…
“When animal rights activist Mirthe and her group sabotage a pig farm, the farmer’s family strikes back. What follows is an unstoppable chain reaction of violence and revenge.”
Meat Kills premiered at Fantastic Fest 2025, where it earned positive reviews from outlets including Dread Central. The site’s review raved, “Nasty, mean cinema is back, baby.” The review continued, “Meat Kills is a European extreme horror classic in the making, joining the ranks of films like Calvaire, High Tension, and Frontier(s). This is the evolution of European horror, which continues to deliver gnarly societal indictments that are unafraid to make the viewer uncomfortable. Dehumanization is the name of the game in Meat Kills, and it goes deeper than just a statement about animal cruelty; it’s a harrowing examination of human cruelty committed in the name of a self-declared good cause.”
“I don’t think I have ever seen a movie as nihilistic and ugly as Meat Kills,” writes Shade Studios. “The kills are visceral and brutal, with top-notch practical effects. Lots and lots of guts and gore, with an equal amount of tension and scares. I never wanted to take my eyes off the screen… it’s impossible to predict what will come next.”
Nothing is spared. No one walks away unscathed. Watch Meat Kills on Screambox now!
The cast includes Caro Derkx, Sem Ben Yakar, Sweder de Sitter, Emma Josten, Derron Lurvink, Bart Oomen, Chardonnay Rillen, Juliette van de Weerdt, and Tommy Zonneveld.

Sunrise Films has announced the official North American release of William Bagley‘s horror comedy Hold the Fort, and it’s accompanied by an energetic new trailer.
Hold the Fort debuts on digital platforms on June 23.
In the film, “Lucas and Jenny think their life is finally coming together when the couple become homeowners. Little do they know that their new house comes with a big catch. Lucas and Jenny soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they become trapped in a battle between their Homeowners Association and an onslaught of monsters from hell. The horror-comedy takes the timely concern of home-ownership and wraps this up in an entertaining action-packed thrill ride.“
Watch the new trailer below, which introduces one wild HOA gathering during an equinox. Things get bloody fast.
Chris Mayers (Adult Swim Yule Log), Haley Leary (“The Walking Dead”), Levi Burdick, and Julian Smith star.
William Bagley writes and directs, in addition to producing with Smith, Matt Dodd, Luke Williams, and Tim Reis (Adult Swim Yule Log).
Ahead of the release, Bagley said, “My goal with this film was to make a hilarious, fast-paced thrill ride while also telling a great story with heart. Hopefully, through all the blood, laughs, fights, and gags, you leave the film feeling inspired to tackle whatever life throws at you.“
Hold the Fort premiered at Fantasia last summer before going on to play FrightFest London, Toronto After Dark, and Beyond Fest.
I wrote in my review, “It’s an infectiously charming assemblage of jokes and monster vignettes bound together by a barebones plot with not much on its mind beyond delivering an entertaining time.”
