Where has this zombie flick been hiding?

As you can probably tell by my nickname, I love horror films, zombie films in particular. I have pride in my knowledge of horror films, as I own close to a thousand of them and have seen many more. But I have to admit, I had never heard of this flick before yesterday. Browsing through a video store in another town, I came across it,scratching my head wondering how good could this be if I've never heard of it before. I was pleasantly surprised by this film. I think it was just as good as The Dead Next Door(a B grade zombie flick that gets a lot of attention as being an unknown classic). This is a fun film to watch if you don't expect too much from it. Don't expect great acting,top quality production, and whatever else most people think it takes to make a good film. But if your a fan of B grade horror movies, or on a quest to see and own every zombie movie ever made(such as myself), give this one a chance. I was surprised to see one of the zombies in this movie was Bill Hinzman, the cemetery zombie who chases after Barbara in the original Night Of The Living Dead. I guess you could say he is reprising his role, so to speak. I think he also directed and produced this film. I must admit, this film does seem to borrow a little from the original Night Of The Living Dead, but I don't care. This movie was fun and entertaining to watch and that's all I ask for. I was surprised at the amount of gore as well. The version I got was an uncut one entitled Revenge Of The Living Zombies. Once again, a pleasant surprise. Well, I have to go now and find a copy of this movie to buy somewhere! Later.

So bad its FUNNY!

FleshEater (1988, Dir. S. William Hinzman) Story A group of teenagers, taking a nocturnal hayride come across the grave of a man. Little did they know that this deceased man is in fact very much alive in the form of a zombie. One by one, the actual living are falling victim and becoming zombies. Eventually there are zombies everywhere, and someone needs to stop them, but who? Actors The problem with this film is the amazingly poor choice of actors. To say it plain and simple, they just can't act at all. The most realistic acting in this film is the zombies. The reactions from the actors are the worst I have ever seen. The characters that are living just don't have anything special about them and are hardly memorable. The only character which I can remember the name of the lead zombie, but only because his name is the title of the film. There is just no emotion felt with the characters. The end scene, where the guy and girl gets shot (I wonder where they got that idea from) is meant to be emotional, but you just can't feel anything. You just don't simply care that they've decided.Music If you've ever seen a classic episode of Doctor Who, then you will know exactly what type of music in this film is. The soundtrack used is more of a techno, sci-fi feeling and only fits with a select few scenes. It doesn't let you forget it anytime soon, as it's basically repeated throughout the film. Basically it's just a badly composed soundtrack.Special Effects The special effects are one of the things in which are not faulty in this film. They are actually very decent and are well made. Although some scenes have effects which are so obvious, they are not that bad. If they put as much effort into their soundtrack and actors, then the film has the chance to have been a lot better.Conclusion 'FleshEater' suffers from a lot of problems. I would go as far as saying the special effects are fantastic, with the rest being bad. The film is that bad it can often be funny, but don't go into this film if you're expecting a serious zombie flick. It's often repetitive, with a lot of chances to guess what happens next. Also, if you're a red-blooded male, u would be pleased as there is a lot of nudity. You can tell when there is too much nudity, when you start getting the feeling that the filmmakers are just throwing in random naked women. I'll leave it up to you to choose but if you want to enjoy 88 minutes of laughable acting, then watch this, otherwise avoid."WOW... You're supposed to say trick or treat." – Heidi, the Little Angel (Heidi Hinzman)
