I actually got hungry after watching this!
But yeah, what's the point, really? Why show this other than trying to gross out those who can't stomach it. Pointless cuts like this, especially in horror movies, really have no place. That was all time that could've been spent on the meat of the story(no pun intended), and for the love of fuck, if anything a lot of modern horror movies could benefit form, it's using their time wisely by developing characters, and fine tuning dialog. That's all more priority over some shock intro. This actually reminds me more of that HBO documentary of the farmers who were abusing their animals. That's all good for documentaries. This movie WASN'T a documentary, though. Wasn't the gist of it something to do with the meat containing a disease that transforms the kids into zombies or something? WTF?!
