Night of the Flesh Eaters

Part of me wants to give this film 10/10, 'cos it's a hoot. The acting is awful. The dialogue is diabolically bad. But the film seems (I hope!) to know this, to revel in this, and to have its tongue firmly in its cheek. It's a throwback to so-bad-they're-good 80s horrors like Ghoulies and House, and I commend its vision in this respect (again, I'm hoping that it's intentional - if they thought they had a genuinely good film on their hands here, it'd be quite awkward). The titular flesh eaters are good fun, but best bit of the film by far is hearing the "hitman" continually pronouncing the name of the - ahem - dwarf cannibal tribe.

NIGHT OF THE FLESH EATERS http://www.myspace.com/jrenice Starring : Gia Franzia and JR McGarrity. This movie is quite amazing, What an original idea, Backs it up with great effects and acting. That JR McGarrity has a way with film and brings actresses like Gia Franzia along for his crazy ride of cinema. Now 1313FX has done a great job with these crazy mythical monsters, That could be action-figures next to anything Charles Band© has produced, Really I couldn't tell which I would want most sitting on my mantle in a place of honor next to the GI Joes or Marionettes, I've collected. Bring them back in sequel or prequel or just for Halloween at Graumanns Theatre, LOL ! Not, So fond of the title, But what's special is I guess was original title to Night Of The Living Dead ( Glad someone used it).

NIGHT OF THE FLESH EATERS is a low-low-budget horror film. In spite of this, it still manages to be inventive, entertaining, and -sometimes- very funny.

A gangster and his henchman head out into the deep woods to participate in the death of the gangster's cheating wife and his ex-partner, at the hand of a mysterious hitman.

Unknown by anyone involved, the forest is alive with cannibalistic demons. Bloody deaths commence.

If you're looking for something a bit different, even novel in a horror movie, then this might do the trick. This movie introduces us to several interesting creatures like dwarf cannibals, fire dogs, a stone man, etc.

The dialogue, though somewhat wooden, is quite humorous overall, and the characters are likeable enough.

Is there cheeeze? Yes. Schlock? Indeed.

Still, this film makes 80 minutes sail by without putting us to sleep! It does it with some originality and heart...

There are some definite rewind and watch again moments. Seriously, I laughed out loud - for me anyways it wasn't so much scary as it was funny, but in a creepy setting.

The premise is nice and juicy in a Blair Witch or Steven King kind of way. The ancient folk tale coming to life is a good way to pull me in.

Hey, honestly, by some standards maybe this movie doesn't have as much exploitive boobs or gore as some of it's contemporaries - hot chicks yes, but not in a soft-core way. Don;t let that sway you from checking it out.

If you like monsters and B movies, a touch of camp - and some good funny - it's worth a viewing for sure.

The music didn't suck either!

I had the opportunity to watch Night of the Flesh Eaters and what a joy it was. I was expecting another bad low budget Indie film with bad acting and poor production value and I was so surprised at how wonderful the film actually was. I have to first comment on the writing. It's a heavy dialogue film but the content is so fascinating and so well written that the story line alone kept me interested. I thought the acting was great. The interaction between The Blond Woman and The Assassin, although a bit over top, but clearly the way the director had intended, was fun to watch. Even the monsters in the film looked like a lot of effort and time was put into their creation. What I was most happy to see as someone who watches a lot of horror films was how good it looked. The camera shots, visual effects, and lighting really upped the value of this low budget film. I wish producers spent more time and money on this because it makes watching a horror flick all the more better. Great job.
