The Stink of Flesh

o.k, o.k., O.K.! I would give this movie such higher ratings.... BUT I CANT! Yeah, yeah, yeah, the storyline sucks, the acting sucks (it does) and the makeup Really SUCKS! I mean BAD! But still hidden in the film are some easter eggs of a gem which I call some good zombie crap! The ideas are there, and it is comedic, but in general it needs a lot of work.

Apart from it's worse then ever movie makeup,(and it is worse than your neighbor's kids on Halloween) it does make you watch to see the true wonder of where the hell the plot is going. But alas, I would say the best thing about this movie is............ the SOUNDTRACK! Hence I KEPT WATCHING! Let me just save you the trouble... TRUE HORROR FANS SEE THE FILM, THE REST OF YOU GO BUY THE SOUNDTRACK!

i watched 'the stink of flesh' expecting substandard dross... but was *very* surprised to find myself guffawing and gableating from the five minute mark to the end of the movie... dross it was not.

yes, it's low budget... but the directing, acting aplomb and musical score/soundtrack (...and gore !!) were well above the standard of otherwise typical low budget constraint.

i loved this sick little zombie flick, and while it was no 'dellamorte dellamore', it wasn't far off the mark for twisted entertainment value...

final comment: "open a bottle, sit back, relax, enjoy... !!"

I think the user comments regarding this movie are posted by either the ones responsible for the film, or friends of those responsible.

I watched this cinematic suppository at Dragon Con 04. And trust me, there was not an impressed person in the room. I normally wouldn't reply to a movie such as this but seeing all the comments, I had to say what was on my mind.

This movie is on par with the works of Ed Wood. But not in a campy, humorous way. More like badly written, poor choice of actors kind of way.

This movie was horrible. Period.

Not bad for a B-movie. Human life is not highly regarded in this flick. This is pointed out during each gore/killing scene etc. The introduction with the long nail made me laugh. I guess you need to be a bit of a sadistic person to enjoy that scene. Many other scenes like that followed and i was truly amazed by the acting as i never expected much out of this. Each character in this film seemed psychotic somehow while some totally disregarded the value of fellow (ex)human beings. I guess this is the aspect that makes people either hate or love this film. To enjoy this just don't take it too serious while watching. There is nothing personal about it.

The Stink of Flesh.. Yes! I saw this on DVD last week.. I must admit.. for a film like this this.. It's a low budget movie.. in which Scott Phillips said in his audio commentary.. 'It was made for $3000..!' Well, not bad for a man who scripted the actioner 'Drive'.. I think with this film.. It was a good effort.. It comes to show that any filmmaker can make a film for a small amount of money.. I've seen it here in this country.. And I must admit, some films are pretty good. But some others.. well, they are rubbish..!

The whole story of this movie was a bit confusing in some parts.. But if Scott has written up more action scenes.. it could've been more entertaining..

Let alone of what I saw on the featurette.. Although, I sat through 100 mins of this.. It's not bad.. At least, it gave me some reference about low budget film-making.. But on the whole.. I'm rating this as a 5 out of 10..!
