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.

I don't know how anyone who would watch a movie with this title wouldn't like the finished product. This is a fun flick that can't be taken too seriously. Though it might take some time to realize it's only part horror and all comedy.

If you're looking for high-cost effects and big-time production values, re-watch something from the major studios. This is low budget, has PG-13 level gore, 2 excellent actors in the leading roles who play well off each other and a lot of deadpan humor. My only complaint is that I didn't like it supposedly being tied into Native American myth.

Now, get me stick!

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...

This is horror fun. I really had a blast in the over the top nature of the dialog and imagery. Rich and full of fun retorts and right on the edge of campy gore. I don't watch much horror, but a friend recommended this title to me and I found it quite enjoyable. I will be sharing it with other friends as a fun evening for a group watching party. I agree with other comments that the monster effects were actually quite good for the budget of this film. I have seen some of this writers other work on some other low budget features, and I think he has some very admirable qualities for his genre. Take a chance and check it out, you might find it a hoot as well.

This movie is a straight up horror movie and makes no apologies for it. There are definitely some very creepy aspects to this film and the storyline is pretty original for a horror movie. I also like the fact that there was some humor in the movie, there is also good dialog/interaction between the major characters (which is pretty rare in horror movies these days). The special effects are pretty realistic which was amazing given that this was probably done on a relatively small budget. There was also a twist at the ending which was a surprise to me. I won't give anything away but just see it for yourself, you'll be glad you did.
