review by
Mike Haberfelner

It was to be a nice Thanksgiving for Jordan (Emily Letts), the first one since she has had her baby - and since she's separated from the baby's father (Clayton Michael), she has brought her best friend Paige (Nadia Kamil) along to party with her and her family ... which might not have been the best choice, since Paige and Jordan's brother Joel (Gabriel Caste) have an on-again-off-again thing going on that's sure to cause some awkward situations. And the whole thing's made even more awkward since Joel has invited Bob (Doug Perkins), who's madly in love with Jordan, but she ... at best likes him. Now Bob isn't the best guy to bring to a Thanksgiving dinner in the first place because of his poultry allergy. Then there's of course dad (Bruce Jennings), who has the talent of making everyone feel awkward, and his new wife Barbara (Janet Chiarabaglio), whom Jordan is meeting for the first time only now. However, all those present try to overcome their differences ... by drinking quite a bit of beer. Thing is, things are soon starting to feel slightly off, and it hasn't got anything to do with the family being slightly disfunctional, and then Paige goes missing, later Joel as well - and the others start wondering if the neighbouring hillbilly family led by local butcher Ned (Jay Wesley Cochran) aren't actually cannibals, if the beef they've bought at the butchery instead of turkey isn't actually human flesh, if the flesh hasn't been drugged, and if they're not actually responsible for the disappearances of Paige and Joel. And when the hillbilly neighbours show up on the premises, it seems a cat-and-mouse game is to begin ...

 

So ok, Buzzard Hollow Beef is a film that really takes its time to build up its story, and there's very little action or even creepiness in the first half of the movie - which isn't as bad as it sounds, as the whole thing is populated by fleshed-out, relateable and interesting characters whose interactions are amusing enough to watch to keep one glued to the screen - but once the horror aspects do set in, the whole thing becomes a proper mindfuck, and it's safe to say it doesn't end in nearly the way you expect it to. And from a directorial point of view this is supported by an understanding of when to be subtle and when to go for the jugular. Plus, a competent set of actors don't hurt either.

A pretty cool mindfuck of a movie actually!
