    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.

    flesh eater rocks!!!

    Now this is no night of the living dead but what it is its fun great zombiploitation if you will.Starts off with some young people on a hayride going to drink beer and have some fun.This tractor riding dude unearthed zombie bill hinzman than all hell breaks loose lots of gore nudity and sleaze exploitation for sure the DVD is wonderful media blasters do a great job with their product and this is a fin example.If your a fan of zombies exploitation and cheesy 80s cinema buy this!Also its a zombie movie that happens to be set on Halloween sweet and yes the movie is somewhat of a rip off of the original night of the living dead but who cares its exploitation and its mighty entertaining.

    Better than "The Dead Next Door"!

    Bill Hinzman (who played the zombie on the cemetery in the great horror-classic "Night of the Living Dead") was responsible for the production, the script and the directing of this flick, that is even better than the similar Romero-rip off "The Dead Next Door", which was shot about five years earlier! Of course, the plot and nearly all ideas were stolen from Romero´s brilliant cult movie, but in comparison to J.R. Bookwalter´s homage there´s just more suspense, a plenty of gore and sometimes surprisingly good acting! Hinzman himself plays a zombie named "Flesheater" and I wonder somehow that he still looks the same he did more than 25 years ago... If semi-professional shots like Peter Jackson´s "Bad Taste" or even "The Dead Next Door" blew your mind this is exactly the right stuff for you! Recommended to all zombie-lovers and the fans of Romero´s movies - you won´t bore a second!!!

    Great Zombie B-Movie

    In Halloween, a group of five teenage couples hires a tractor driver to a hayride to the countryside to party, drinking beer and having sex. Meanwhile, a woodman accidentally unburies FleshEater (Bill Hinzman), a zombie hunger for flesh and blood. Each teenager is attacked and transformed in zombie, spreading the evil and attacking the locals, making a hell night in the area.

    "FleshEater" is surprisingly a great zombie B-movie and a gem to be discovered by the fans of the genre. S. William Hinzman (a.k.a. Bill Heinzman), who wrote the story and screenplay, is also is the additional cinematographer, editor, producer, lead actor and director and works with amateurish actors and actresses that undress very easily in front of the camera. The most important is that he is aware that his movie is trash, and he uses all the possible elements of this genre, associated a great special effects. The result is an underrated zombie movie, with a funny and entertaining story. Last but not the least; Bill Heinzman is the cemetery zombie of "Night of the Living Dead". My vote is seven.

    An alright gore flick

    This is another film in the long line of killer zombie rip-offs since Night of the Living Dead. This movie is not bad, but it doesn't have near the impact that the Living Dead series created by George Romero. The acting is very lame, and it's pretty predictable, but the gore makes up for it, kind of. The movie could have used some suspense along the line also. All in all, an alright zombie flick

    • Quotes

      Sheriff: Give me your attention, men. I want you to understand we have a dangerous situation here. I've already lost one man. Most of you knew Harv Morgan. I want to get those things that killed him. Now, we are going to split up into groups. No less than two people to a group. We're going to head west until we meet up with the group coming from the east with Deputy Gary.

      Posse Member: What are we looking for?

      Posse Member: Yeah, Sheriff. What are these things?

      Sheriff: They're dead things. They're dead, and they're attacking people.

    • Crazy credits
      The characters and events depicted in the motion picture entitled "FLESHEATER" are fictional. Any similarity to actual persons living, dead, or the living dead, or to actual events or places is purely coincidental.
    • Alternate versions
      The 1993 UK Vipco video version (released as "Zombie Nosh") was cut by 1 minute 41 secs by the BBFC to remove a disemboweling scene, the flesheater forcing his hand through a topless girl's stomach and shots of a topless female zombie eating a corpse, and to heavily edit a scene where a girl is chased around a bedroom and bitten. The cuts were fully restored for the 2003 DVD release.
