A group of teenagers head to the woods to spend a chilly Halloween night partying and having sex. One fool unearths a grave that somehow triggers the dead in the area to come back to life. 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. Hinzman is also the Producer, Director, Co-Writer (along with Bill Randolph) and Editor of this film. He quickly pulls the heart out of the fool who woke him and infects others in gory fashion. The kids eventually catch on as their Halloween Hayride goes south. They scramble from farm to farm with the zombies taking them easily. I want to start by saying how much I love Bill Hinzman and everyone involved with George A. Romero's classic "Night of the Living Dead". With that said this movie is really awful. What might have been a fun low budget outing is sunk by lousy production values, non actors butchering poorly written lines, and bad scene after bad scene. Sure it's a kick seeing Hinzman reprise his role as the graveyard zombie and having this set on Halloween was a good idea. But the poor execution makes this seem like a video shot on a weekend with some friends. There is some cheesy gore but no scares or atmosphere to be found. Quite dismal to say the least.

A couple of things that are really a treat for any NOTLD fan. 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. also (spoiler alert) the little fella who pops the remaining two teenage survivors in the head, believing them to be zombies, when they scurry out of their hiding spot in the barn, well that fella was the same guy who shout Ben in the head when he peered out of the arm house in NOTLD. Seems Bill was trying to make a subtle point. I loved the Pennsylvania scenery in this film, and all the time watching, I was really dying for an Iron City Beer what with all the product placement. I love this movie for the bad acting, the camp, the non-plot, and all the bravado Bill put into this. Bill is the Ed Wood of the zombie film. any serious NOTLD fan should watch this for the shear nostalgia.

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. Their drunken fun is interrupted, however, when a zombie (Hinzman) is unwittingly released from its tomb by a farmer, and they are forced to flee to a nearby, ramshackle farmhouse for safety.As the number of undead outside the house gradually increases (from one to at least three or four), the students struggle to fortify the dilapidated property (they find plenty of wood and nails, sharp weapons, and a handy shotgun with ammo!), but to no avail: the zombies eventually force their way in, and carnage ensues. 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!).

Sometime back in either February or March, we had a big snow storm and got out of school for a few weeks. During that time I bought a bunch of Zombie flicks such as Zombi 2, 3, 4, 5, Burial Ground: The Nights of Terror, Zombie Holocaust and FleshEater (a.k.a.) Revenge of The Living Zombies, which was my favorite out of the whole bunch! I love this movie, not only because it's a Zombie flick, but it's a Zombie flick that takes place on HALLOWEEN, which is awesome!!! It has gore, female nudity, zombies, HALLOWEEN...what else could you possibly ask for in a horror flick! I knew how it would end because I'm so smart! The lead zombie is the cemetery zombie from George A. Romero's classic Night of the Living Dead! If you love horror, zombies, and HALLOWEEN, you'll love FLESHEATER (a.k.a.) REVENGE OF THE LIVING ZOMBIES!!!
