''Flesheater'' (1988)

By Crusader1307

An example of another ‘’Zombie’’ Film that should NEVER have been made, (or at least a good idea wrongly executed) – was 1988s ‘’Flesheater’’. The most striking point to the Indie Film, was it’s (unintentional) link to the grand 1968 Film ''Night of The Living Dead’’ by George Romero. The film was written (and even starred in), by Mr. Bill Hinzman. It was He that portrayed the original ‘’Cemetery Zombie’’ from Romero’s Film, and was the first portrayer of what We now know as a ‘’Modern Zombie’’. But Mr. Hinzman, who had a great idea – let it ‘’rot’’ (so to speak). The parallels to Romero’s Film was seen as too close, which is a wonder why He was never sued by Romero. The Plot deals with typical young adult Love – manifested by a ‘’Halloween Hayride’’ and a Group of such. Left at a remote Barn b y a Farmer (the Sponsor), He goes back to work removing a Tree stump. Doing so, He finds an ‘’ancient box’’ with a carved warning – AGAINST opening. He does, and releases………The Zombie from ‘’Night of The Living Dead’’ (to include an exact copy of His moldy suit). The Zombie bites The Farmer (who becomes zombified) and The two set out to ‘’get The Kids’’ at The Barn. I wont go one but to say, - again, a clever idea that was poorly executed (and Filmed). A real Good example of how NOT to make a ‘’Zombie Movie’’.
