Australia/New Zealand have a pretty good track record on gore flix, with Peter Jackson 's masterpiece Brain Dead/Dead Alive as the platinum standard. Body Melt is a satirical science fiction splatter film that is somewhere between Street Trash and The Stuff. Taking certain vitamin supplements makes ones body decompose from the inside out. Using extreme gore as metaphor for fitness crazed consumerism.. This film is pretty funny, but equally witty and disgusting all at the same time. For the gore hounds there is enough slime, snot, guts and giant boogers to shake a stick at.. However, Body Melt also gives the viewer enough to think about without getting preachy or pretentious. This has more thought put into this then the average campy horror film . It still does fit into the genre quite easily as it delivered the insane and often cheesy goods.
