Summary[]
Modern classic set in a meat processing plant, where young Francois cuts the throats of cows every day. Day in, day out he slices the cows' throats. A big part of the story is Francois cutting throats. Just cutting and cutting and cutting throats. One day a gorilla named Chunky arrives on earth from a gorilla and turtle planet that's in the grip of war. Chunky's spaceship is ironically in the shape of a cow, and he crash-lands in the meat plant and is herded into the corral to be killed by Francois, but when Francois slices the throat, Chunky pops out. Its really a comedy of errors, although at least a quart of blood is shed per act. In fact, the first ten minutes is just Francois cutting throats of cattle. Cutting and cutting.

Critical Reception[]
"This film is nonsensical, blood-soaked and probably the best argument for state-subsidised beef production you'll see all year!" - Craig Kiltson, Poolside Lounge Magazine
