Watch FleshEater For Free

The Worst Film Ever

Just what I expected

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Being a huge zombie aficionado, I found this movie on Amazon and had to add it to my DVD collection. After all it is a zombie movie, and wait, it gets better (or so you'd think), it has Bill Hinzman - the original zombie from Romero's "Night of the Living Dead" movie - as the zombie here.Initially I thought it was a little tasteless to cash in on this fact that he was the original zombie in that movie and then spawn this movie from that fact.However, having seen this movie now, I must shake my head. This was a zombie movie on the lower end of the rating scale. The story was really predictable, but there was a lot of continuity issues going on throughout the course of the story. First the people are at some secluded camp site, then suddenly there are houses nearby and people go trick or treating, and then there is a party in a barn. Yeah, well it just didn't seem to make much sense. It was like as Bill Hinzman was trying to put as much mayhem into the movie as he possible could.The zombies sounded like growling predatory cats. Wait, what? Yeah, they did, and that really gave the movie a comical sense, and took the scary part right out of it. And also the zombies were able to block and parry blows coming at them and they were using tools to kill people as well. For me, that was veering way too far from the mythology of the living dead. But hey, I guess there is a target audience for everything."Flesh Eater" has some less than average acting performances in it, it seemed like most of the people didn't have their hearts with them in the project (aside from the one who got hers ripped out and eaten?). And to make matters worse, then the dialogue script was poor as well.But being a fan of all things zombie, I can now say that I am the owner of this particular zombie movie, though it has been bagged and tagged on the shelf, never to be seen again.

This film was written, directed, and produced by S. William Hinzman, whose one claim to fame was his memorable role as the cemetery zombie in George Romero's Night of the Living Dead. This film might well have been titled The Further Adventures of George Romero's Cemetery Zombie, because that's essentially what it is -- except that it lacks even a trace of the talent that Romero brought to his masterpiece.Once Hinzman's zombie rises from his grave early in the movie, the film becomes a non-stop killing spree punctuated with numerous scenes of gratuitous nudity. Now I am far from being a prude, and I appreciate gratuitous nudity as much as the next guy. But this film went too far, in my opinion.Admittedly, some of the killings are interestingly executed (so to speak) and the gore effects are pretty good for a film this low budget. The acting is at times painfully amateurish, but according to the documentary that accompanies the Shriek Show DVD, the actors were paid only $25 a day. As the saying goes, "you get what you pay for."The first and last part of the film are reminiscent of Night of the Living Dead -- victims trapped in a farmhouse surrounded by zombies; local yokels rounding up the zombies and shooting them. The middle scenes involving a family in their home preparing to go trick-or-treating and a Halloween party with a bunch of costumed drunken "teenagers" are somewhat more interesting and original.This film is the definitely least interesting of the three films on Shriek Show's Zombie Pack 2, the other two being Zombie Holocaust and Burial Ground. It is, however, watchable, and the gore effects should please hard-core zombie fans who know exactly what they're getting when they watch this kind of movie. I found the documentary in the Extras section to be more interesting than the movie itself, as it explains how many of the effects were done and includes numerous humorous anecdotes about the making of the movie.All in all, not a great movie but o.k. as part of a three-disc set.

I first heard about this movie from MST3K's Mike Nelson when he did the commentary for Night of the Living Dead and I was fortunate enough to find it online. Well, I was about twenty-one minutes in and I was already bored enough to wonder how much blood I could lose before the end of the movie. Honestly, this movie is nothing but a horror director's wet dream, specifically the number of bare female chests seen throughout the movie, not the mention the all important full frontal female nude shower scene somewhere toward the middle of the movie. It's got the suspense of the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, the gore of the original Dawn of the Dead, and the acting of an educational video I saw in the sixth grade about nutrition. So, in closing, take another minute to think about ways you could throw an hour and a half of your life away instead of sitting through this slasher porn.

Sometime back in either February or March, we had a big snow storm and got out of school for a few weeks. During that time I bought a bunch of Zombie flicks such as Zombi 2, 3, 4, 5, Burial Ground: The Nights of Terror, Zombie Holocaust and FleshEater (a.k.a.) Revenge of The Living Zombies, which was my favorite out of the whole bunch! I love this movie, not only because it's a Zombie flick, but it's a Zombie flick that takes place on HALLOWEEN, which is awesome!!! It has gore, female nudity, zombies, HALLOWEEN...what else could you possibly ask for in a horror flick! I knew how it would end because I'm so smart! The lead zombie is the cemetery zombie from George A. Romero's classic Night of the Living Dead! If you love horror, zombies, and HALLOWEEN, you'll love FLESHEATER (a.k.a.) REVENGE OF THE LIVING ZOMBIES!!!
