I love this movie so much

Powerful

Excellent but underrated film

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

I had hoped to find a decent zombie film but with a title like "FleshEater" I honestly didn't expect too much. And that's a good thing because what I found was pretty much what I expected: A low budget zombie film with terrible acting, a very weak script, bad special effects and extremely bad performances by the zombies. In fact, some of the zombies were just plain comical when they were meant to be horrifying. And while there were some attractive young women involved, they had no character development and because everything else was so bad they were essentially wasted. In short, this was a very bad film and the only reason I don't give it an even lower score was because of the possibility that this might make a good Halloween film--provided there is a lot of beer on hand. Preferably not Iron City beer, but I suppose anything will do in this particular case.

This one can hurt. A lot. For instance, the credit sequence gives quite a bit away. For one, count how many times that name Bill Hinzman appears. Also, notice that insistent piano score. Get used to it, because it's near enough constantly playing for ninety minutes. Also, if you've watched Night of The Living Dead, then you've already seen this film.You know that zombie in Night of the Living Dead? The one at the start? That's Bill Hinzman, and he's here making Zombie Nosh, acting, filming, producing, making soup, darning, fondling nudie actresses, saying 'yaargh', ripping off better films, editing, employing chronic thespians, wearing make-up, and staggering. He would do so again with the acute angina causing 30th Anniversary Edition of Night of the Living Dead, and Children of the Living Dead. Here, however, he manages to redeem himself (slightly) by realising that zombie films need loads of gore and violence, and thankfully Zombie Nosh manages not to be the hideous pile of goat ordure that it initially reveals itself to be.A group of 'teenagers' are on a hay ride and end up in the country. After establishing that they are all a bunch of chugnuts, and ugly too, Bill Hinzman rise up from a grave and starts killing everyone, turning them into badly acting zombies. In normal films, the 'teenagers' would be the focus of the film, but here 90% of them are wiped out and the film just moves on to the next bunch of new characters, wastes them, then moves on again, etc etc.That's about the gist of it, really. However, there's loads of gore, acting so bad it has to been seen to be believed (especially the 'aoh! moi gawd! bit), ineptitude all over the shot, plagiarism ahoy, and an ending that'll have you non-chalantly switching off the DVD player and going to bed, like most nights (?). I dunno. It's worth buying, to be honest. It's never boring.

I usually love 80's flicks. They are so cheesy but so much fun to watch. Especially a good zombie flick. Right off the bat, I liked the atmosphere of this movie. You could easily tell it was creepy. It's definitely a B movie but the quality was shot well. This was no doubt a 'campy' movie. The acting wasn't great by any means, but it was tolerable. Typical 80's acting. The plot was no different than any other zombie movie but that's what I love about it. Stupid teens getting attacked by the undead or the living dead rather. The action started right off the bat which is a great thing. The music was spooky and quite creepy at times. I was also impressed with the makeup effects. Fairly realistic for the time it was made. High body count with nice gore. Overall I really enjoyed this. A classic gore fest with gratuitous nudity for anyone who loves gore, high body count, boobs, zombies and horror. A very good underground zombie film. A must see for horror hounds.

"FleshEater" (aka. "The Zombie Nosh") of 1988 is a hilariously clumsy Zombie flick in which none other than Bill Hinzman served as writer, director and star. The name Bill Hinzman will not necessarily ring a bell, but his face should be known to every Horror fan, since the man is known for his small, but highly memorable role in George A. Romero's 1968 milestone "Night Of The Living Dead". "FleshEater" is an absolutely inept mess, but nonetheless (or, more precisely, therefore) partly very amusing. While the film ranks among the dumbest Zombie flicks of the 80s (and that's quite something with all these clumsy Romero/Fulci ripoffs), I can not deny that I was very entertained. Apart from Bill Hinzman, the film entertains with a lot of (often very clumsy) gore, and occasional female nudity, which was probably thrown in to keep the viewers watching. The (unintended?) crap-factor of "FleshEater", however, is its arguably greatest quality. The storyline is an incoherent mess, and the performances are incredibly awful, even for an ultra-low budget, the dialogue is the most ridiculous imaginable. A bunch of College kids decide to spend the night in the woods drinking. An undead guy (played by Hinzman) then awakes for no reason, and begins to attack people, who are subsequently turned into Zombies too. The second half of the film is basically an (awful) homage to NOTLD in which several elements of Romero's "Dead" films are shamelessly copied, and re-enacted in an awful manner. Overall, "FleshEater" is an awful film, but it is nonetheless quite amusing for my fellow fans of the sub-genre. Also, it seems as if everybody involved with this was well aware that the film was a piece of crap, and just had fun making it. Some of the acting is just too damn amateurish to be unintentional. Bill Hinzman, gore, and an overload of amusing awfulness - Take it, or leave it, I had a good laugh.
