The Gateway Meat (2008, Ron DeCaro)

Pretty decent shot-on-video gore flick - along the lines of "August Underground" and "Schramm" and, if I remember correctly, Fred Vogel's name actually pops up in the opening credits as a producer.

Ron DeCaro directs and stars as a satanist belonging to some bloodthirsty family residing in a small coastal town. After his father's death, he is relied upon by the family and struggles to unlock a portal to Hell - which consists of torturing and mutilating people who may be the "key" in their demonic conjuration. His wife, young daughter and fat, redneck buddy are involved in this killing spree, signaled by the 2006 assassination of George W. Bush!

"The Gateway Meat" is jam-packed with grisly death scenes, such as a drunk guy stabbing his girlfriend's face apart, the dismemberment of a couple Jehovah Witnesses, and the BEST being a good old 'Columbian Neck-tie' method used on a helpless pizza boy... The acting is terrible, as expected, but the gore, fake snuff "feel" and interesting camera angles make up for it by a long shot! "Extreme" horror fans should check this out.
