Trailer For Troma's Cannibalism Comedy Musical SWEET MEATS
Troma has produced a new horror movie in the form of a cannibalism comedy musical titled Sweet Meats, and they’ve just released the trailer! If you a fan of Troma’s style of exploitation cinema, then you’re sure to enjoy what this movie is going to offer. You can watch the teaser trailer below, but to watch the full trailer you have e to head over to Fangoria.
The synopsis for Sweet Meats reads: “Bobby Sweet is a country music legend and has been the world-renowned face of ‘Sweet Meats’ since establishing his first restaurant with his wife in 1978. How did his restaurant take off so quickly, and what makes the meat so darn sweet? Sometimes a ‘secret ingredient’ should stay that way. They always say, ‘You’d be disgusted if you knew what you were really eating!’ They might be right…”
I also included the poster by artist Marc Schoenbach of Sadist Art Designs below. The movie was written and directed by Ricky Glore, and he said in a statement:
"I love movies like the Monkees film Head, Brian De Palma's Phantom of the Paradise, Roger Corman's The Little Shop of Horrors, Motel Hell and This Is Spinal Tap, but I never in a million years thought I'd make a film of my own that felt like all of those things dropped in a blender. Besides having the vibe of a late-'70s Southern exploitation movie you'd see at the drive-in, it also has killer music by arranger/composer David Kornfeld with Nick Vidas on instruments, Wonky Tonk, Dustin Matthew Taylor, country music legend Bobby Mackey, original songs by myself and a song from the heavy metal group DemonScar.
"The poster reminds me of those boxes you'd see at the video store back in the day," he continues, "and then you'd read on the back that it's a horror/comedy/musical and you'd think, 'Oh, I gotta see this!' And the trailer feels like it should be showing before the Jerry Reed/Peter Fonda film High-Ballin' or Burt Reynolds' White Lightning."
Glore also stars in Sweet Meats alongside Eileen Earnest, Timmy Hart Barron, and Andrew Gordon.
