Don't listen to the negative reviews

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

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.

This one can hurt. A lot. For instance, the credit sequence gives quite a bit away. For one, count how many times that name Bill Hinzman appears. Also, notice that insistent piano score. Get used to it, because it's near enough constantly playing for ninety minutes. 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? The one at the start? That's Bill Hinzman, and he's here making Zombie Nosh, acting, filming, producing, making soup, darning, fondling nudie actresses, saying 'yaargh', ripping off better films, editing, employing chronic thespians, wearing make-up, and staggering. He would do so again with the acute angina causing 30th Anniversary Edition of Night of the Living Dead, and Children of the Living Dead. Here, however, he manages to redeem himself (slightly) by realising that zombie films need loads of gore and violence, and thankfully Zombie Nosh manages not to be the hideous pile of goat ordure that it initially reveals itself to be.A group of 'teenagers' are on a hay ride and end up in the country. 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. In normal films, the 'teenagers' would be the focus of the film, but here 90% of them are wiped out and the film just moves on to the next bunch of new characters, wastes them, then moves on again, etc etc.That's about the gist of it, really. However, there's loads of gore, acting so bad it has to been seen to be believed (especially the 'aoh! moi gawd! bit), ineptitude all over the shot, plagiarism ahoy, and an ending that'll have you non-chalantly switching off the DVD player and going to bed, like most nights (?). I dunno. It's worth buying, to be honest. It's never boring.

I first heard about this movie from MST3K's Mike Nelson when he did the commentary for Night of the Living Dead and I was fortunate enough to find it online. Well, I was about twenty-one minutes in and I was already bored enough to wonder how much blood I could lose before the end of the movie. Honestly, this movie is nothing but a horror director's wet dream, specifically the number of bare female chests seen throughout the movie, not the mention the all important full frontal female nude shower scene somewhere toward the middle of the movie. It's got the suspense of the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, the gore of the original Dawn of the Dead, and the acting of an educational video I saw in the sixth grade about nutrition. So, in closing, take another minute to think about ways you could throw an hour and a half of your life away instead of sitting through this slasher porn.

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!).
