Revenge of the Living Zombies (aka Flesheater)

Rating:
Summary: This movie truly bites.
Review: Bill Hinzman was a cameraman on 'Night of the Living Dead' (1968). His thin and gaunt appearance also made him the ideal person to play the first zombie who attacks Barbara in the graveyard. He has since apparently felt that it is his calling to again play a zombie, much to the detriment of the genre. Hinzman growling at the camera is not frightening in the least and at its best it is laughable. 'Revenge of the Living Zombies' is filled with bad acting, bad lighting, poor directing (Hinzman), and no story of which to speak. The basic albeit confused (and most likely improvised) plot to this movie involves several young people on a wilderness getaway who happen across the grave of some evil cursed person turned zombie but buried in a wooden box to save the world in a previous time (uhh..ehh...yea..that made sense); and basically the rest of the movie is about Hinzman going around killing people, spreading the zombie curse/disease, and growling pathetically. Aside from the obvious weaknesses in the production and acting, having no character other than Hinzman as a continuing character in the movie seriously kills the continuity and offers absolutely zero character development since new characters are constantly being introduced and then killed. The special effects are as poorly done as the rest of the production. It in some ways is a tribute to Romero that those who have worked with him and have given good service to their respective jobs under his direction have failed so miserably when they tried it on their own. 'Revenge of the Living Zombies' is a poor attempt by someone trying to recapture their 15 seconds of fame in an apathetic tribute to himself.-Bob

Summary: bloody good fun.
Review: I gave this one 3 stars and looking back, its probably more than the film deserved except I had such a good time watching it. In all areas, it was technically awfull. Bad acting, bad camera work, bad sound, bad picture...but it was redeemed by its over the top gore. This one went full out. The stuff looks amateur and thus, there was no fear factor involved. But it was sure fun to look at. When i say there is really no story, i am not kidding here. The body count in this one is higher than any movie i've seen.There is no central character here. Except perhaps the head zombie (and lo! its the guy from the original night of the living dead! props to that!). Each character exists only long enough to get a few screams in before a zombie starts eating.
It starts in a farmers field or something. A box is opened and out pops a zombie. He kills. The rest of the people there get killed. They turn to zombies. Then a nice family is established. Then they all get killed. Enter more meat! A party in a barn. Zombies crash the party. Everyone dies. And on and on and on.
If you like your zombie films cheap, gory and to hell with the plot..you will like this. Also known as zombie nosh.

Summary: Great gore Zombie flick!
Review: I love this film it's not nearly as great as the Romero trilogy but as a good Zombie flick it's way up there. Cool zombies, loads of gore (i can't for the life of me understand the R rating) it's gorier than half the unrated flicks i've seen. Cool story, moderate cheese and a great fun time!

Summary: Gore Galore...that's about it.
Review: Sure, this movie has poor, poor production values, the dubbing (even though it's in English) is atrocious, the dialogue a joke, the plot none-existent, but so what?

I'm not saying this is a great movie, it's just okay. There's some nudity and plenty of gore, but other than that, if you're looking for more, forget it.

I think Hinzman took himself a bit too seriously though, the commentary track is boring--he put me to sleep!

Rent it if you can first; I only bought it because it was a good childhood memory to re-live.

Favorite quote: "These zombies are about to kill my a*$!"

Summary: awful fun flick
Review: this is a cheap and cheesy knock-off of romero's night of the living dead and it's simply z-grade goofy nonsense...but it's fun z-grade goofy nonsense! i had a helluva good time watching this and admire hinzman's chutzpah in the zombie role here. sure it's a cheap and cheesy zombie movie but what the hell! it works and when it doesn't it's funny! far worse zombie flicks have been made. i wanted the zombie from night of the living dead back in action and hamming it up and that's what I got. loved it.
