It’s been a few years since we’ve heard anything about The Meat Puppet, for which one of the most eclectic casts we’d ever seen was assembled, but now the film has landed worldwide distribution and gotten itself some new artwork.
From the Press Release:
Valenti Vision Films and Silver Phoenix Entertainment, in association with Keith Collins Media Inc., are thrilled to announce the award-winning The Meat Puppet has been picked up for worldwide distribution by TomCat Films.
The Meat Puppet is looking to take a bite out of its competition around the globe now that TomCat Films is on board as its distributor. TomCat Films is primarily known for its genre and mockbuster titles (Aliens vs. Avatars, Thunderstorm: The Return of Thor, Agent Beetle) and is headed by sales and distribution veteran Ted Chalmers.
The Meat Puppet has won five awards so far, including Best Horror Film, Best Actor (Keith Collins), and Best New Jersey Feature. The film was produced entirely in New Jersey and features some of the final footage taken at Union Beach and Jakeabobs Restaurant and Bar, which were both devastated by Hurricane Sandy.
As for that cast we mentioned, along with stars Keith Collins and Daniela Rivera, The Meat Puppet features Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal (Guns N’ Roses), Skeery Jones (DJ at Z-100), Chris Wilkes (“SNL”), Gregg Valentino (TLC’s “The Man Whose Arms Exploded”), Billy Sample (former NY Yankee), Geri Reischl (“The Brady Bunch Variety Hour”), Emilio Masella (“Jersey Shore”), Billy Garcia and Gervase Peterson (“Survivor”), John Fields (DJ Unique), Gary Garver (formerly of “The Howard Stern Show”), Brandon Ruckdashel (Co-ed Confidential), Darren Server (Atlas Shrugged), Erik Chopin (Winner of “The Biggest Loser”), Matthew Schultz (singer/songwriter), Jamie Kovac (Fury from “American Gladiators”), and April Hunter (WCW & TNA wresting).
The film was directed and edited by Joe Valenti, written by Joseph and Billy Pepitone, produced by Blaze Kelly Coyle, Collins, and Valenti, and executive produced by Coyle and Valenti.
Synopsis:
Andrew “Drew” Shelton appears to have it all… Looks. Money. Women. But behind that charming smile lies an unimaginable evil. An abusive childhood has turned him into an impulsive, delusional sociopath who has developed an insatiable appetite for beautiful women’s flesh. As the bodies pile up and a gung-ho detective starts stalking him, Drew descends deeper into madness. His obsession with one woman may be the only chance to stop him from serving up his next victim. Or will she fall prey and become the next main course?
