“MEAT TENDERIZER”
A nihilistic and 'politically incorrect' comedy, belonging to the Splatter Horror genre, full of irreverent humor. The exponential increase in the number of victims is supported by the gore effects and the visual environment, both of which are very well done. With this film, Slovenia finally finds its place on the map of genre cinema.
Tomaž Gorkič v znanstveno fantastičnem filmu Apopotoza leta 2074 zgradi futuristično mesto, v katerem ljudje z identifikacijskimi čipi umirajo vsem na očeh. Njihova trupla izrabljajo v prehrambeni industriji in aluzija na nacizem je mogočna. Produkcijsko močan izdelek, ki z mračno atmosfero izpostavlja neposredni namig na iztrebljanje človeške identitete, obenem pa skrbvzbujajoče tesnobno preizprašuje prihodnost.
Feature film
Slovene: Tomaž Gorkič že nekaj časa izkazuje posebno nagnjenje do brutalnega, duhovitega in intimnega koncepta filmskega ustvarjanja. Z Verigo mesa je svoje predano delo idejnega snovalca, montažerja, scenarista in režiserja, ki ga odlikuje tudi skrbno, premišljeno in profesionalno gibanje z izbrano in usposobljeno ekipi, prignal do nove točke, ki krvavo diši po daljši formi. Veriga mesa je plod dobrega poznavanja zgodovine in sedanjosti posebnega žanra, njegovega filmskega jezika, obenem pa tudi delo, ki srhljivo nazorno pokaže, kaj in kdo vse živi med nami in v nas, pa si tega prevečkrat nočemo ali ne znamo priznati.
