FleshEater

Plot synopsis:
A group of teenage kids are taking a hayride in the countryside on Halloween. They pay the local farmer to take them to a secluded area of the forest. The kids arrive and begin drinking, telling the farmer to come back after dark to pick them up. As the party wears on the group separates to find their own little love nests.Meanwhile, another farmer has stumbled across a large tree stump which he proceeds to remove with the help of his tractor. Under the stump is a large wooden box with an ancient seal telling not to break open the box. The farmer breaks the seal and opens the box. Inside is the "Flesheater", a zombie who precedes to eat the farmer making him a zombie in the process. Both zombies head towards where the kids are.Two of the kids who retreated to the barn for some alone time are killed by the Flesheater. As the ghoul is killing the kids, two of their friends walk in and see what's happening then they run outside back to the woods to warn the group at the party. Inside the barn, the kids who were attacked become zombies and head out of the barn to look for for fresh victims. One of the girls is attacked in the woods by the Fleasheader. It tears a chunk of shoulder away but the girl is saved by her boyfriend who hears her screams and tackles the ghoul.The remaining kids retreat to the old "Spencers Farm" a dis-used farmhouse in the woods. They proceed to nail up the windows and doors. They manage to phone the police but the call is cut short when a zombie outside rips the phone line out.Meanwhile, the two kids who escaped from the barn have caught up with the group (who refuse to open the doors in case of an attack) so the two kids hide in the basement and lock the door. Upstairs, the girl bitten on the shoulder dies and returns as a zombie. Just as she gets up the Fleasheader and the rest of the zombies outside break in and all of the remaining group are slaughtered, each becoming a zombie and heading into the woods for more victims.A little later at nightfall, a police car then turns up at Spencer's farm responding to the cut-short phone call. The police officer is attacked by a group of zombies, and despite killing two of them by shooting them in the head, he is attacked and eaten alive. The two kids in the basement open the door and see the body of the policeman. They take his gun and kill his half remaining zombie corpse and escape into the night.The Fleasheater and some of the zombies find their way to a residential street where they proceed to eat a local family inside their home turning them into zombies in the process.Meanwhile, the two kids find a local stable where they try to warn the owner about the coming attack. He goes inside the house to find that his wife has become a zombie. More zombies appear and the man is cornered and eaten alive and the kids flee again.They find a large barn where a Halloween party is being held. The kids try to warn the group about the undead but they laugh it off as Halloween nonsense. Soon the zombies arrive and slaughter all of the party-goers. The two kids who survived the basement find a hiding spot inside the framework of the barn.Back in town, the police department is assembling a posse after hearing of the officer who was killed at Spencer's farm. As daylight approaches, the posse have arrived at the woods. They find zombies emerging from the woods and proceed to kill the creatures. They proceed through the woodland killing zombies as they go. The posse arrive at the barn and find the party-goers are all zombies. The posse kill them as the zombie group come out of the barn. The two kids hiding in the barn hear the gunshots and think they are saved. They exit the barn and are shot on site by sniper rifle (by the same actor who shoots Ben in Night of the living dead).The posse throws all the bodies inside the barn and barricade it shut. They set it on fire burning the remaining few zombies inside. The posse thinking they destroyed all the zombies head home.A few days later, a police officer is checking out the remains of the barn when he is attacked by the original Flesheater, who kills him by biting his neck out... and the zombie outbreak begins all over over again.***********************************************************************************************************

The movie starts out with a quote This evil which will take flesh and blood from thee and turn all ye unto evil. Kids on a hayride. We see a farmer putting a strap around a stump of a tree. The hayride continues down the road and one of the kids asks Where is he taking us? There are 10 teens and they jump off the trailer. One of the teens says Sammy Perkins and his girlfriend came up to the woods a year or so ago to go parking and no one saw them again. One of the girls said that Sammy joined the army and Janie got pregnant and went to Virginia to her aunts to have the baby. He said that a good source says they were murdered up there. Old man Spences dog came home one day with a hand in his mouth with a ring that had the initials SHP on it. One of the teens start smoking a joint. Two teens are sucking face by a tree when Eddie <James J. Rutan> is shaking a beer, opens it and sprays the lovers. The girl calls Eddie an asshole. We go back to Farmer Dave <DavidA. Sogergren> who tears the tree trunk out of the ground with a John Deere tractor #2630. The farmer starts clearing leaves and dirt from the ground and finds a slab of cement with a circle carved into ithe thinks it was college kids on his property again. As he is clearing the area he finds a seal with the words This eviletc. carved on it. The farmer pries the saying off the coffin and opens it. The body comes to life and tears the farmers throat out and sucks his blood. Back to the kids: they are dancing and laughing. One of the girls starts stripping and shows her bare breasts to her boyfriend. (The farmer gets up and growls.) A couple goes off and spreads a blanket on the hay in the barn. Carrie <DeniseMorrone> tells Bill <Mark Strycula> that she just wants to have fun and has liked him since Julies party. They are kissing in the barn and the Carrie puts Bills hand on her breast. The shirt comes off and you see her bare right breast. The girl hears something and it happens to be the Flesheater <S. William Hinzman>. Bill grabs a pitchfork and shoves it at Flesheater. Flesheater takes the pitchfork off Bill and rams it into the boys chest. Flesheater grabs Carrie, strangles her and shoves his hand through her stomach. He digs out her liver and guts and blood and gore everywhere. The rest of the group is sitting around drinking beer. The hayride driver <Tom Madden> suggests a fire. The driver says if they want to stay the night in the woods that it gets real cold there. One of the teens says that Carrie and Bill can stay warm in a snow storm but the rest of them couldnt . The driver says he will come back at midnight and the teens could tell him then if they want to say in the woods all night. The teens go to collect firewood. Eddie scares Lisa <Charis Kirkpatrik Acuff>. The hayride driver tries to start his rig and one of the teens comes up behind him and asks him to get some beer for them. The zombie farmer <David A. Sogergren> grabs the hayride driver by the neck, chokes him, and eats him. Lisa finds the zombie with a big hunk of flesh between his teeth and runs. The Flesheater grabs her and takes a huge chunk of flesh out of her neck. The teens take Lisa to a farmhouse. Bill and Carrie arise as zombies. The teens try to find weapons and board up the windows and door. Eddie turns away Bob <John Mowod> and Sally <Leslie Ann Wick>. They hide in the storm cellar. Ralph <Kevin Kindlin> uses a phone and calls the sheriffs office. They are staying in Spences farm off Route 5. He tells the dispatcher <Terrie Godfrey> that they were attacked by a monster and the dispatcher wants to know if it was a Godzilla type of monster or a Frankenstein type of monster. Flesheater rips the phone wire off the side of the house and the phone goes dead. Ralph shot the hayride driver in the head with a shotgun. Flesheater breaks into the farm and puts a hatchet through Tonys <Matther C. Danilko> head. Everyone upstairs is now living dead. Blood runs from the ceiling in the storm cellar and splatters on Sallys face. The dispatcher calls Harv <David Ashby> and tells him to go to Spences farm. Cut to a nice house: Susan <Susan Marie Spier> takes off her clothes. Full frontal nudity. A shower scene. Caramel apples are being made by Chris <Chris Bross>. Susan is still showering. More nudity as Susan showers in a glass shower stall. Susan comes out and blow dries her hair. Heidi <Heidi Hinzman> answers a knock at the door and theres Flesheater to trick-or-treat. Flesheater grabs Heidi and eats her as blood splatters all over a Krunch bar. Zombies attack the house and eat. Flesheater rips Susans towel off and eats her. Harv arrives at the farm and sees a zombie with his head blown off. The sheriff is bitten by a zombie. They surround his car and eat him but he manages to shoot one zombie first. Bob and Sally come out of the storm cellar and find the sheriff laying in his car with his guts hanging out of his body and his face torn off. His arm lies on the ground.

Review:
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).
Don't expect great acting,top quality production, and whatever else most people think it takes to make a good film.
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 must admit, this film does seem to borrow a little from the original Night Of The Living Dead, but I don't care.
As other reviewers have mentioned, Flesheater stars Bill Hinzman of Night of the Living Dead fame as the title zombie in an all out attack in the undead.
The film by no means gets close to the entertainment level of the movie it draws inspiration from, Night of the Living Dead, but is still entertaining to a degree despite being highly predictable.
The acting is not the greatest and the story drags at times, but some scenes are pretty spooky, such as when Hinzman and some other zombies wander into town and attack a family in a suburban house.
All in all, Flesheater may not be the greatest horror film ever made, or even a great zombie movie, but it's not totally awful, either..
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..
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.
Especially when you know that the director (who also plays the first zombie in the film) is the guy playing the zombie on the cemetery in "Night of the living dead"..
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.
I have never actually heard this movie called "Flesheater" as the title of the page suggests, but instead it was called "Revenge of the Living Zombies." Either way, this movie was a lot of campy fun.
This is an obviously cheesy low budget "ZOMBIE" movie........Just the way I like theme extra cheesy!I am kinda surprised this did not get a 5.0 or something better I mean this is really a good "ZOMBIE" film cool music,stupid plot,cool/cheesy "ZOMBIES" and naked women to try to sell the movie better but you do not need nudity for an already good "ZOMBIE" movie ya you guys might disagree but oh well.This is the kinda movie you should watch on a Friday with your friends while drinking soda and eating pizza.The acting in this is obviously not great but oh well the special f/x is pretty dang good for a low budget "ZOMBIE" movie.Now I know I may make a lot of people made on what I am going to say but this is better than George A.
Flesheater (1988) is a very laughable zombie movie, the plot (if you could call it that) is about a bunch of college kids who want to spend the night in the farm/forest type place having a party.A farmer discovers a zombie grave and opens it up to discover this old zombie man inside, of course the zombie awakens and then bites the farmer, turning him into a zombie.......
What also made this film great fun was the gore, there's lots of killings and lots of nudity too which is always nice to see in a horror movie, so to sum this film up i'd say that it's a very entertaining zombie gore movie and i highly recommend it to lovers of low budget horror and zombie movie fans too.
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!
Woah,what a movie!!The plot is incredibly simple:a group of teenagers is devoured by bloodthirsty zombies.I agree that it's a total rip-off of Romero's earlier zombie epics.Yes,it has also bad acting,stupid dialogue and funny zombies,but you can't say that "Flesheater" isn't enjoyable or entertaining.Lots of blood is spilled and lots of people are eaten,the gore is plentiful and the main zombie played by director S.William Hinzman is really cool!So if you like cheesy horror movies with plenty of bloodshed give this rather obscure film a look..
From its poor opening start and very poor zombie acting the film plods on and on, while gaining a good pace in the gore department.
I know this sounds like strange advice but the director/main zombie comes across as quite arrogant and bitter and quite spoils further watching of this otherwise top movie..
Obviously the main inspirations for this film are George Romero's classic zombie flicks; principally Dawn of the Dead, but there's clearly things lifted from other entries in the series; not to give anything away, but the ending is a direct lift from Romero.
As you can imagine, there is very little in the way of plot and the film is mostly made up of zombies eating people; which is OK, but really it needs some sort of story to go with it, or at least something else to keep the audience interested.
It's not long before he comes back as the flesh eating living dead, and after some of the kids are bitten, things start to get out of control.Considering there's not really a plot, you have to expect some decent gore...but Flesheaters even disappoints on that front.
Many post-Romero zombie flicks feature some sort of tribute to the master, often ham fisted stuff like calling a character "Romero", but this film goes a step further and not only does it cast Bill Hinzman - the first zombie from Night of the Living Dead - he's cast in a pivotal role!
Anyhow the zombie from Night of the Living Dead (you know the first zombie in the cemetery at the beginning of the flick) stars as a recently dug up muncher.
But then again, zombie movies don't need much of a plot, just the living dead runing around and killing everybody.
The script is such a complete theft from night of the living dead it I am puzzled there wasn't a lawsuit.The only good things in this porr excuse for a movie were breasts and ok-quality filming at times.
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.
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.
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.
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 film follows the basic outline of Night of the Living Dead and only deviates slightly to show some nudity.
The film was made in 1988 so surely Bill Hinzman (the first zombie seen in the original NOTLD) was not living in a cave and had surely seen the bar for the zombie genre has been raised a little.
He pulls the farmer down in the coffin and starts chewing on his neck.Some college students are having a party in the woods, drinking lots of Iron City Beer (I'm sure Iron City appreciated the plug) and they start getting bitten by Hinzman and the farmer who by now has turned into a zombie, himself.The remaining students flee and barricade themselves inside a farmhouse, but the zombies break through and kill most of them.
Flesh Eater (1988) * 1/2 (out of 4) A group of college students are out on a hayride and camping trip when a farmer lets loose a zombie (Bill Hinzman) who begins to kill them.
He will always be best remembered for playing the cemetery zombie in the original NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD and it's easy to see why he decided to make his own zombie movie.
Still, if you're a fan of NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD then it's mildly interesting seeing Hinzman return as a zombie.
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.
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.
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?
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.
Twenty years after he was immortalised on film as the cemetery zombie in Night of the Living Dead, actor Bill Hinzman directed and starred in Flesheater (released on DVD in the UK as Zombie Nosh!), a gory, low-budget tale of the undead that shamelessly ripped-off the plot from George Romero's 1968 horror classic.Being much better at acting dead than at making movies, Hinzman inevitably turned out a technically poor effort hampered by leaden pacing, dreadful acting and terrible dialogue.
Fortunately, however, the inclusion of much cartoonish gore and female nudity prevented this mess from being completely unwatchable, and fans of z-grade trash who stumble upon the film should have a fair amount of fun as the untalented cast struggle to remember their cues, fail to convincingly deliver their god-awful lines, and try to look scared as Hinzman and his fellow flesheaters stagger clumsily towards them.The film opens as a group of college students prepare to spend Halloween in the woods, drinking Iron City beer, dancing (badly), smoking weed, and having sex.
Only one couple escapes the onslaught, and they must struggle against the odds to survive the night...Dubious highlights include gratuitous child munching, loads of OTT gore, some very bad 80s fashion, more dodgy dancing than you can shake a bloody stump at, and lots of tits and bush (Hinzman's lead zombie gets to grapple with a couple of the nekkid girlsa perk of being in charge, I suppose); insufferable low points include the opening hayride (several protracted shots of a slow moving tractor), a laughable chase scene through the woods (why does the girl throw away her jacket?), a miserable performance from one particularly bad actress as a policewoman, all of the actors feeble attempts at looking shocked, and the entire last half hour, which follows a bunch of rednecks as they clear up the zombie problem (and yes, Hinzman does go so far as to even rip off Romero's shock ending from NOTLD!)..
William Hinzman) managed to stick his hand into one girls stomach and pull out some organs, and he stuck his hand completely through the body of another victim.You just have to wake one zombie and he can exponentially increase the flock, which is what happens in this film.
Of course Bill Hinzman (RIP my good man, you will be missed) the cemetery zombie from NOTLD directs and stars, but did you know that when George Romero and company set out to make NOTLD, the working title was "Night of the Flesh Eaters" yet another film, 1964's "The Flesh Eaters" discouraged George from using "Flesh Eater" in the title, but Bill seemed to use "Flesh Eater" to further the NOTLD mythos.
This was a good zombie film that is underatted so much because some people think this is a copy of the infamous NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD.
People need to watch this and see it for what it truly is A GOOD MOVIE WITH SOME NICE ACTING AND MEMORABLE SCENES.
I think it great that Hinzman, the first zombie seen in "The Night Of The Living Dead" who walks in the cemetary to chase Barbara, should reprise his role and eat flesh once again!
It has gore, female nudity, zombies, HALLOWEEN...what else could you possibly ask for in a horror flick!
The last half of the film, nearly thirty minutes plus, is direct head-to-head confrontations with the zombies, and that leaves a lot of fun times to be had from this.
If you're into the low-budget zombie genre, have a tolerance for the cheesy 80s films or the fans of the original, while those who aren't big on the first two categories should heed caution.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Language, Full Nudity and a sex scene.
Flesh Eater (aka Revenge of the Living Zombies aka Zombie Nosh) is directed by and stars Bill Hinzman, the first zombie you see in Night of the Living Dead (the one that chases Barbara through the cemetery).
There really isn't much to say about this movie as the plot line is almost identical to Night of the Living Dead.
ahem* resemble Night of the Living Dead or other zombie films of the 70's and 80's.
This movie is a great low-budget zombie flick with tons of gore, nudity, and zombies!
- - - Bah, if you ever wanted to know what makes "Night of the Living Dead" so special, then you need look no further than "Flesheater." Devoid of everything that makes Romero's debut engaging, Hinzman piles on the gore and bodies with reckless abandon and even tries to repeat the movie's ending.
Enjoyable Night of the Living Dead rip-off for zombie aficionados.
As a straightforward rip-off of NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, this isn't bad at all, a fast-paced, poorly-budgeted little number with plenty of outrageously good gore scenes to keep the blood flowing for horror freaks.
Not content with gore alone, there's a prolonged shower scene, and somehow all the girls Hinzman attacks manage to lose their tops at some point.So, exploitation is the name of the game, and that's just about the only thing this film has going for it.
S. William "Bill" Hinzman, part of cinematic history for having portrayed the memorable Cemetery Zombie in "Night of the Living Dead" (1968), adds another zombie portrayal to his repertoire in this unabashed, straightforward gore fest.
Romero's sublime "Night of The Living Dead" in which he had a modest  but very memorable  role as the zombie with whom it all begins.
Bill Hinzman clearly is trying to trade off on some minor notoriety as the first zombie seen in George Romero's "Night of the Living Dead" by directing (and starring in) "Flesheater." Hinzman might say he is paying homage to Romero, but what he is doing is clearly ripping Romero off - blatantly.
The acting could not possibly be any worse, the dialogue is horrendous, the movie is choppy, badly edited and badly written, with little attention paid to continuity, but it delivers on entertainment in a big way so I'm willing to overlook the fact that technically speaking it's terrible and give it a mild recommendation if you enjoy these kind of things.It was made by none other than Bill Hinzman, the tall graveyard zombie who kills Johnny and chases Barbara around at the beginning of the original NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD.
Towards the end is another scene completely ripped off from night of the living dead and it leaves it open for a sequel.Highlights?
Oh yeah and the cop that's supposed to look eaten, I think they just covered him in sausage links and old ketchup.As I mentioned earlier, this movie is a complete night of the living dead rip off nad an extremely bad one at that.
This first zombie out of the casket is none other than the original graveyard ghoul from "Night of the Living Dead" played by Bill Hinzman.
