About Meathook

Part homage to the slasher sub-genre, part deconstruction, Meathook walks the fine line between thrilling slasher and meta-comedy. It's a quirky, low-budget love child of Scream, Cabin in the Woods, and I Know What You Did Last Summer, with a dash of the offbeat zaniness of Young Frankenstein.

A great throwback to classic slasher films!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Meathook about?

Meathook asks the age-old question: what if the “final girl” didn’t ride off into the sunset — but had to pay rent and go to college with PTSD instead?

Years after barely surviving a blood-soaked massacre, Jordyn’s just trying to pass her classes and keep it together. But when new murders start popping up with a very familiar signature, she’s dragged back into the horror — teaming up with her chill roommate, a broody true-crime podcaster classmate, and a detective who’s definitely past his prime.

It’s trauma, teamwork, and a whole lot of blood.

Where was the film shot?

Meathook was filmed in the legendary San Fernando Valley — the same stomping grounds as The Karate Kid, Terminator 2, and a bunch of PTA classics. Horror loves good company.

Who directed Meathook?

Meathook is directed, produced, and written by up-and-coming filmmaker Jermey Ashley, known for his unique horror vision. His previous films include the shorts A Creature is Stirring, Among the Mistletoe and a segment in the feature horror anthology Found Footage of Fear.

WHAT MAKES “MEATHOOK” STAND-OUT FROM OTHER SLASHER FILMS?

It's a unique blend of tones, carefully balancing the suspense and scares of traditional slasher films with the meta humor and self-aware characters of post-modern films while offering audiences a fun yet scary slasher flick to sink their hooks into!

What is the film rated?

Meathook is officially unrated, but if we had to guess — it’s a solid R for bloody mayhem, bad language, and a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment of nudity. Viewer discretion advised (and encouraged).
