Summary: If I was a sheep i would rate it BAAAAAAAAAAAD
Review: Alright, to start out this review I must say, I urge buyers, not to get this film. Usually I will always give low-budget films a chance, but this film bites the garbage. The zombies were completely pathetic, having huge heads and nice clothes to ware. I mean come on!!!! i have never seen so must eye gouging scenes in one movie in my life. I would a least think if such bad acting, and terribal camera work would have good gore in the film, but NO, the blood was boring and it was so out of proportion. For example when one of the girls in the film finds out her professer is a zombie, she take an electric fan that is plastic, and puts it to the zombies face. In result, it didn't even show the guys face get shreded, the blood just hit the walls and floor, making it seem like it was bad, but really it was stupid because of the fact that it was a little fan, which it wouldn't even do such damage as it did, it would probably just stop on impact to the face. For this I bid you all good-bye.

Summary: Gore galore for fans of schlock horror
Review: Enjoyable zombie butt-kicking and gore are a little let down by a slow first half with way too much padding and overall dirt cheap production values. Acting is a mixed bag but the editing and camera work are actually pretty good and the story is pretty original for a no-budget SOV movie. Really bizarre zombie makeup, not too realistic but very cool, helped along by lots of gore. I liked the lobster-snake monsters too. Worth it for fans of low-budget horror, but others beware!

Review: flesh freaks is so, so, so cheap - like your friends with a video camera cheap - but it's about as moody, scary, and atmospheric as you can get without any budget whatsoever. in the last third they kind of give up and just give you a lot of gore but it's still better than average and pretty exciting once you get into it. the first zombie is terrible but they get a lot better, the one with the big eye is funny, plus there are so, so many eye-stabbing scenes (fulci homage, maybe?) Speaking of fulci, the dvd cover is totally a rips off of ZOMBIE but whatever, this is a pretty good pack of cheap thrills and blood. the scene where the guy hides in the room at the end is funny plus the whole fan scene made me laugh ... how did it slice up the BACK of the dude's head???!

Summary: Great fleshy fun
Review: Flesh Freaks was a blast! Sure, it's indie, but I don't see what the other guy was complaining about at all. An engaging (if typical) plot, impressive makeup work, and beautiful tropical location shots in the first half. And that Ronny Varno isn't too hard on the eyes either!! ;) Fans of lowbudget indie horror would do well adding this one to your collections.

Summary: if i could rate this zero stars i would.
Review: I am a huge zombie flick fan. in fact, i prefer low budget horror movies over most genres. i was really really excited to watch this movie despite what other reviewers had written. i am like other fans of the genre: give every movie no matter how low budget a chance. this was a mistake. the footage was horribly shot and the acting was horrible and the ancient looking zombies looked like trash. i wanna see fans killing people, not just red liquid splattering on the floor. give me gore. gore isnt just cheap fake blood running down the tiles of a floor, its ripping flesh apart, its decapitation, its not Flesh Freaks. Believe me DO NOT buy this movie. find someone who was stupid enough to buy it and try to watch it. i couldnt even get through the whole movie. that is absurd. the only other movie i couldnt make it all the way through was that David Spade movie "Dickie Roberts." horrible horrible horrible movie.

Summary: Next time I'll just flush my money down the drain!
Review: I was soooo ashamed to call a buddy over to watch this. It looked really cool, but I'm afraid even the most hardened B-movie veteran would have to say uncle to it. I'm usually quite tolerant of low-budge movie making, but this one was over-hyped and over-priced. A small handful of ok gore shots was the only saving grace to this otherwise bad movie. Heed my warning!!!

Summary: Bloody, crazy, no-budget trash ... what could be more fun?
Review: It's zombies on the rampage in this really cheap but really fun horror movie. The plot is just a mix of a hundred other movies you've already seen, but it's done in an off-beat way that actually makes it pretty original ... And the zombies! No shambling people in white makeup here -- each one is a way over the top gooey disgusting mass of trailing eyeballs, bulging brains, and bloody sores! One of these things looks like nothing more than a pile of bloody flesh! Great acting? Ok lighting? Adequate production values? None of the above -- but I still recommend this movie hands down over most of the unoriginal by-the-numbers trash out there ... it's obviously done by people without ANY money, but with a lot of love for the genre ... and a lot of really gross zombies, too! Loads of fun!

Summary: homage, rip-off - please.
Review: its obvious this movie was meant to be ironic. not to rip off fulci or other classic zombie filmakers/films, nor to pay homage to them. this movie is campy as all out. as the cover suggests.
