ROAD MEAT with Q&A WITH DIRECTOR BILL BRAGG
ROAD MEAT
dir. Bill Bragg, 1988
76 min, USA
Two lunatics, Nick and Vick, celebrate their wedding day at the local asylum like any couple would - by kicking off a killing spree in style (with a gonzo, saxed-out theme song behind them.) After running a man down the two lovebirds hit the trail leaving the bodies of hitchhikers, fast-food employees, and local bowling champions in their wake. That is, until the duo cross paths with an old woman in the midst of a run-in with a creepy cult. After saving her, Nick and Vick find out she's being set up by her son who wants to take all of her money. She takes them back to her house and the three hatch a devious plan...
In 2018 with the vast catalog of cinema at one's fingertips, the hunt for lost films often leads to dead-ends, headaches, and heartbreak. But sometimes, with a little luck and a lot of elbow grease, there's still treasures to be found. Such is the case with 1988's gore/comedy ROAD MEAT. In it's sparse mentions around the World Wide Web this slice of homemade Ohio goodness only gets mentioned in hushed tones and is often cited as "unfinished."
Directed by Bill Bragg, starring Nick Baldasare (THEY BITE), with DP duties by Spec favorite Jay Woelful (BEYOND DREAM'S DOOR) ROAD MEAT was all but a rumor for almost 30 years. While the only remaining 16mm print is being scanned for an upcoming blu-ray release we're proud to present a version that absolutely no one knew existed - an alternate cut (peppered with extra scenes to entice would be distributors) from the 3/4" video master provided by the director himself.
Special thanks to Jon Dieringer and director Bill Bragg.
