The Stink of Flesh

[darkchimp]

Hey guys --

I just stumbled across the site and it's wiggin' me out! I never knew there was so much zombie love out there...

I hope it's cool for me to post about my own zombie movie, THE STINK OF FLESH. We just held the premiere at the Guild Cinema here in Albuquerque and sold out all four screenings. The Guild's been getting so many calls about the flick, they've scheduled another midnight show this Saturday (August 21st). The response has been amazing -- and it's a big help, since the money from the screenings is gonna go towards getting our final sound mix done.

You can get more information and check out the trailer and photo gallery right here. (http://www.exhilarateddespair.com/stinkofflesh.php)

[Brody]

LOL

Not bad at all. Not destined for a theatrical release but I can see some Zombie junkies into this. Didnt look half bad considering you used an XL1. The Zombie makeup was very good and of course hot naked chicks are always fun. Do you have rights to the songs or is this just for the trailer?

An admin might move this to the indie page.

[darkchimp]

Thanks for the kind words, Outland! So far, people really seem to dig the flick, which is very gratifying after all the work we put into it.

Yeah, those songs are just slapped on for the trailer. So far the actual soundtrack consists of rockabilly, country, and funk/blues tracks by various bands.

As far as the XL1 goes -- hey, it was good enough for 28 DAYS LATER!

:)

[flenser]

UK release? ;-)

[Blurr]

Great looking film Dark Chimp.

I work for Movies Online as a Zombie Film Editor/Reviewer. I'd like to add your movie to our database of zombie movies. I'm a huge fan of anything zombie and also like to promote indie films and directors. Please contact me via email so we can work something out! :)

jordan[at]moviesonline.ca <-- just replace the [at] with @ (spam, you know how it is ;)

[darkchimp]

UK release? ;-)

Well, we're still not sure what the situation's gonna be with a US release -- there's been some interest and I'm hopeful I'll be able to make an announcement soon. I'll keep you posted via the boards as to a UK release.

And Blurr, thanks for the help! I just sent you an email...

[darkchimp]

Here's the list of upcoming screenings of THE STINK OF FLESH:

The Guild Cinema, August 21st, Albuquerque NM

Bubonicon 36, August 27-29, Albuquerque NM

Cast and crew members will be on hand for a panel on low-budget filmmaking Saturday, August 28th at 6:30 PM. THE STINK OF FLESH will be screened that night at 11:15 PM. For more information visit http://www.bubonicon.com

[smashbot]

Boy does this film look naughty...

[outkast]

Looks like soft core porn. Looks pretty cool though. I'd watch it, but not just for the women.

[Cyber Bishop]

Not too bad. Looks like something to definately check ut.

[darkchimp]

The screening of THE STINK OF FLESH at Bubonicon went over amazingly well -- I wasn't sure how hard-core science fiction fans would respond to a gory, sleazy horror flick, but they ate it up! There was a group of folks in the audience who had seen it twice during its run at the Guild Cinema, and came back to see it again -- very nice to hear.

Don't forget, you can watch the trailer at http://www.exhilarateddespair.com/stinkofflesh.php

Next up is the screening at Cinema Wasteland! (http://www.videowasteland.com/show.html)

[darkchimp]

Just got word from Ken Kish at Cinema Wasteland (http://www.videowasteland.com/show.html) (October 1-3) -- THE STINK OF FLESH is gonna be screened twice at the con!

Showtimes are 9:30 PM Saturday, October 2nd and 3:30 PM Sunday, October 3rd. Hit the Cinema Wasteland website for more info!

[Francesco Dellamorte]

How can I see this movie if I am in Seattle? It sounds awesome, is there any way to see it over here?

[darkchimp]

The lovely Diva, who stars in THE STINK OF FLESH as "Dexy," just let me know that she has managed to arrange a guerilla screening of STINK at DRAGONCON in Atlanta -- tomorrow night at midnight (Saturday, September 4th)!

I don't know any of the details, but if you're at Dragoncon and you wanna see THE STINK OF FLESH, look for flyers or something!

And Francesco, you can order a DVD of STINK from me -- drop me an email if you're interested!

SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS

I was fortunate enough to recieve a 'pre-release edition' DVD of this film and let me say that I havent had this much fun watching a film in awhile. First off, I am a zombie junkie; perhaps not as much as some of you but more than the average viewer for sure. My favorites in order are: Day of the Dead, Dawn of the Dead 04 (I dont even want to hear it as its just my opinion), 28 Days Later, Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead '78. You can cap those with ZOMBIE and a ton of other DEAD films I cant even remember the titles too.

The cover art for the Stink of Flesh is great stuff. Just think 80's corporate clip art meets the Undead. I love it and will surely 'appropriate' this concept one day (That means 'steal' in the industry but really its flattery)

I sat into my office this evening, plopped on the headphones and turned out the lights and started the film. Initially, I tend to look for technical nuances as Im a wannabe/struggling filmmaker myself and damn it if the quest isnt to mimic film using DV. This film was shot with the XL1 (yes, the same camera used for 28 Days Later) and looks as such. Is this a bad thing? No it is not given the genre; if doing a period or epic an Xl1 wouldnt cut it but for a world filled with the Undead and this microcosm of humanity it works extremely well. In this day of reality television, the Xl1's DV look only serves to bring an immediate intimacy to this piece. I found myself at times feeling as if I was right there in the room, possibly witnessing as a 'not so innocent by-stander'.

If the Dead do inherit the earth as we all hope, er, pray won't happen, then one can imagine pockets of survivors in every shape and form, every type, every strange but true fetish. I about gasped when NATHAN (one of our characters) opens up a locked shed to reveal a full naked dead woman lunging at the lens in that wonderful zombie growl. I almost couldnt believe it when I saw it and then thought "This is great." This could happen. This is the kind of sick demented people that will survive and become all the more twisted in the process (What happens later will blow your mind.) It takes necrophelia to a whole new level, no, stratosphere. This is a twisted version of the TEXAS CHAINSAW family with a twist.

The talent isnt bad, but also isnt very good. One actor stands out and that is the character of NATHAN (Ross Kelly). Among the cast, I felt he did the best job and actually can act; hell, the dude looks like an actor. Its not that the cast is inheritantly bad they just are not that good. The character of Kurly Tlapoyawa does an okay job, going from bad to not bad but also gets credit for the fight choregraphy. There are several fight scenes in this film and they are done pretty damn good. The choregraphy is good enough to work; although Im not fighting these damn zombies hand to hand. Screw that.

Technically, its obvious that filmmaker Scott Phillips knows what he is doing. The film is shot in the original Academy Aspect Ratio (That means 4:3 guys) which is a shame as I embrace the modern 1:85, 16:9 and Cinemscope (thats 2:35) ratios. God I would love to see this in a Widescreen format. Scott Phillips shoots quickly and intercuts nicely. He obviously knows the rules. The film is loaded with Cinema Verite (just a fancy French word for hand held) but I think really shines when it is locked down or used on a dolly. I also felt that this film works best with the least amount of light being used. Im not talking aout low acailable light, but the carefully placed lighting by Phillips to illustrate Night or the sun light streaming in shafts through wood slits. This is when the film looked filmic to me, when light was removed and the canvas painted with dark and light.

The zombie effects are great. No less impressive as GAR's DAWN zombies and some of them are very sick. Im talking skin being removed and snapping as it breaks, guts being stretched, the works.

I reccomend you pick this up as it is a treat and just good ole zombie fun. It isnt a stylistic as 28 Days Later but has a realism attached to it. I am inspired and dtoked ot have been able to preview this film. Contact the filmmaker and say "I WANT MY STINK of FLESH!". This guy is doing it instead of talking about it and GAR would be proud, if not completly disgusted NOT by the Dead but by the Living!

[darkchimp]

Hey O.P. --

Thanks for the kind words about the flick, I'm glad you dug it! Of course, I have to disagree about the acting in the movie... I'm exceedingly pleased with the performances -- and fortunately, most folks who have seen it seem to share my opinion! :)

Oh yeah -- we planned to shoot the flick 16x9 but had to Frankenstein up a lens adaptor for the anamorphic lens we had, and wound up with a funky light leak... so we went for 4:3 instead. But the next one is gonna be widescreen 24p, bruthah!

[Brody]

LOL

Everything I say is In My Humblest of Opinions as always. It was a treat to watch. I cannot even wait for your next adventure in film (24p baby!). Any details or is it a secret?

J

[darkchimp]

Right now, mum's da woid. All I can tell you is it'll have lots of gore, twisted sex, and weird romance! I'm writing a FRIDAY THE 13TH novel (!) right now for Black Flame, but once I'm done with that I'm gonna jump into the script for my next movie. I'm hoping to shoot sometime next summer, if all goes well (earlier than that if things go GREAT).

[darkchimp]

By the way -- if anybody's interested, the interview I did with Screaming Stoner Video is online now -- you can read it right here. (http://www.baal-peor.gq.nu/fuq/ssv/ss_interv164.html)

A pretty cool review of THE STINK OF FLESH has been posted at Movies Online -- check it out right here. (http://www.moviesonline.ca/movienews_1076.html)

[darkchimp]

Dang! Here's another great review of THE STINK OF FLESH, this time at Monsters At Play:

http://www.monstersatplay.com/review/dvd/s/stink.php

[Head Trauma]

All I know is being a fan of art, that is the best cover art i've seen for a zombie movie (or any movie for that matter) in ages. Classic.

Aside from that, I'll never be able to see this film because A) I live in Canada and B) I'm too poor atm to order anything off the net but as soon as I get some casholia i'd love to order it!

[darkchimp]

That cover art is by my pal Randy "Skids" Clark -- you can check out his website at:

http://www.hazardoustaste.com

And I hope your money situation improves, Head Trauma! I just got into a car wreck yesterday, so that's where all my money is going at the moment (at least until the insurance company for the idiot who caused it pays up)!

[Head Trauma]

Thanks! Likewise to you...$20 bucks US is like a down payment on a house here in Canada (ha ha). Hope you're okay from that car wreck. I just moved out of the house, so as soon as I get some money saved up (birthdays and what-not), that movie is first on the list forsure.

Good luck with this film, altho the feedback you have been getting is nothing but great so I don't think you will need it :)

[darkchimp]

Man! Here's another supercool review of THE STINK OF FLESH:

http://www.microcinemascene.com/artman/publish/review_the_stink_of_flesh.php

[hardcoreone2]

I just sent off for this today. I can't wait, I think it's gonna be a blast

[darkchimp]

Just a reminder -- THE STINK OF FLESH will be screened twice at Cinema Wasteland (http://www.videowasteland.com/show.html) (October 1-3, Strongsville, Ohio). The screenings are at 9:30 PM Saturday, October 2nd, and 3:30 PM Sunday, October 3rd. A bunch of the EDP gang will be on hand, so stop and say hi!

After that, STINK will screen at Tromadance New Mexico (http://www.burningparadise.net/) (October 22-24, Albuquerque, NM). We'll also be on the filmmaker's panel, and DEAD SEXY: THE MAKING OF THE STINK OF FLESH will be screened as part of the documentary block.

That same weekend, there'll be a screening of STINK at MileHicon (http://www.milehicon.org/) in Denver, Colorado! Cast members on hand include Diva ("Dexy"), Bob Vardeman ("Mr. Jasper"), Chris Vardeman ("Teenage Boy"), and Associate Producer Jeremy Owen ("The Big Zombie").

[hardcoreone2]

Just watched this today. The characters of Nathan and Matool are great. I especially liked the fight scenes with Matool. He knows what he's doing. I appreciate that kind of stuff as I've been taking Akido for 2 years now. Anyway, the zombies were awesome too. Nice job with the make-up. As for the story, at first, I didn't like the way it was going but then it just clicked with me. I was like yeah, I could totally see this happening. All in all, I liked it. Keep us posted darkchimp of any new films, and thanks for the speedy delivery of my dvd. Keep up the good work.

[darkchimp]

Thanks, hardcoreone2! Good to hear you liked the flick. Kurly Tlapoyawa (Matool) is pretty amazing -- he competes in a lot of Pridefighting matches, and just going in the ring with those guys takes a lot of balls, in my opinion!

As for the next movie, I'm already working out the story -- but all I'm gonna say right now is that it's gonna be twisted as hell...

[Gord]

AAARRRGH!

I just got my copy of The Stink of Flesh in the mail today, and sat down to watch it. It was quite a good movie and very entertaining...until the bad thing happened. Right at the big fight with Matool, the DVD kicked out. I'm gonna have to pick up a repair kit and hope that corrects the problem. It's a good flick, and it is burning me up that I can't watch the last bit.

[darkchimp]

Gahhh! Sorry about that, Gord! If you can't solve the problem, lemme know and I'll put another DVD in the mail to you right away!

[Gord]

That's cool, man. I checked the disk and it had this one TINY scratch on it...one that you could barely notice, but the DVD player decided to be picky about it. I was able to buff it out and fix it, though. Great flick, man.

[darkchimp]

Excellent, glad to hear you were able to fix the problem. I'm also glad you liked the movie! :)

[guerrilla]

The lovely Diva, who stars in THE STINK OF FLESH as "Dexy," just let me know that she has managed to arrange a guerilla screening of STINK at DRAGONCON in Atlanta -- tomorrow night at midnight (Saturday, September 4th)!

[guerrilla]

Hey guerilla --

Just got back from LA and I can't find your email. Did I write back to you and just totally forget about it? Drop me another line, okay?

that day i made the post i got an email from you saying how to pay for it, which i did, have already received it, and watch it yesterday. pretty good movie, not quite what i was expecting, but it was definitely entertaining. it's definitely not your average zombie movie, very original plot. i was hoping that first girl wouldn't get devoured by zombies lol

[darkchimp]

Cool, man. Glad you liked the movie.

[zombified666]

[darkchimp]

Thanks, you guys! With any luck, we'll be able to announce our official distribution deal very soon... and then I'm hoping to shoot our next flick in the summer of 2005.

[darkchimp]

And here's that official announcement -- THE STINK OF FLESH has a distributor!

After weighing several offers, Exhilarated Despair Productions has signed with J.R. Bookwalter’s Tempe Entertainment (http://www.tempevideo.com) for worldwide distribution of THE STINK OF FLESH. The tentative release date for the US DVD is May 24th, 2005. Release dates for the UK and other territories will be announced when available.

J.R. Bookwalter is not only a long-time pal, but will absolutely deliver the best possible DVD package, giving THE STINK OF FLESH the utmost care for its official release. The DVD will feature a 5.1 Surround Sound mix and will be packed with extras, including two commentary tracks, a making-of featurette, outtakes, Opening Night shenanigans, a still gallery, and more!

[SGT. DEATH]

Cant wait it sounds great :drinking:

[darkchimp]

Hey, THE STINK OF FLESH made it to Fangoria's website!

http://www.fangoria.com/news_article.php?id=3310

[awfulman]

I have to say it Mr. Chimp (can I call you Dark?), that movie looks like alot of fun!

Does the DVD you currently offer include the extras your distributer's version will have?

Have you considered selling copies on Ebay? I really enjoy using PayPal as a buffer, because of their security.

[darkchimp]

Actually, awfulman, that first DVD is sold out and will no longer be offered! So if you find one on eBay, buy it! That disc doesn't include any extras, and it also features a temp music track and sound mix... several of the songs in that earlier release will be in the final version of the movie, however.

Gotta get back to putting together the outtake reel!

[Alien]

Has anyone seen the stink of my ass?

[darkchimp]

Hey folks -- here's an update on the release of the Special Edition DVD of THE STINK OF FLESH:

The street date was pushed back two weeks to allow a little more time on the sound mix. Street date is now June 7th, 2005. At this point, the disc includes a 5.1 Surround Sound mix, two commentary tracks, a Making-Of featurette, a short on the Opening Night screening at Albuquerque's Guild Cinema, outtakes, the short "Rainville: The Early Years," two early short films made by myself and John Howard back when we were mere lads, a photo gallery, and the script. The disc will feature a 2-sided insert, one side with the "old skool" artwork on the cover, the other with a more retailer-friendly cover.

Hey, is there any chance a moderator could move this thread to the "Classic and Not So Classic Zombie Films" forum? It seems like the more appropriate place for it at this point. There's already a STINK thread over there, but it only contains a couple of posts.

If any zombie fans are attending the FANTASPORTO FILM FESTIVAL in Portugal, THE STINK OF FLESH will be screened there! Check out the festival's website here:

Meanwhile -- the Tempe Online store has listed the STINK DVD. The store won't accept pre-orders until mid-April, but here's the listing:

Hey is there any coincidence that the main character's name is Matool and the island in "Zombie" is Matool?

[darkchimp]

Nope, that ain't coincidence -- it's a direct reference to ZOMBIE, which is one of my all-time favorite movies. There's also a rather large walking corpse in THE STINK OF FLESH that bears a striking resemblance to that big ol' zombie on the boat at the beginning of Fulci's classic...

And hey, I hope no one will mind if plug my upcoming FRIDAY THE 13TH novel, CHURCH OF THE DIVINE PSYCHOPATH, while I'm here... it's available for pre-order on Amazon.com, although it won't be available until the beginning of August:

Wait a minnit -- You went to school with Kurly? That's pretty wild, man! Just wait till you see him in action... :lol:
Oh, yeah. We used to raise some hell together. He's a good guy! Can't wait to check out the movie.

[darkchimp]

That's pretty wild, Mr. Grey... Kurly used to come into a video store I owned and stand around for hours back when he was a teenager... used to drive me nuts!

Here's a little more STINK info -- the website for HARDGORE, the company releasing the movie in the UK:

http://www.hardgore.co.uk/

I'm not sure of the actual release date and they haven't posted any info on the site yet, but I think they're shooting for it to come out around the same time as the US version. These guys are super-enthusiastic about the movie (one of them even told me he hadn't enjoyed a movie as much since he first saw EVIL DEAD), and the company releases a lot of cool stuff -- Fulci, Deodato, Lenzi, Chad Ferrin's THE GHOULS, even Scott Spiegel's uncut INTRUDER! Pretty darn good company to be in, if you ask me...

Thanks, Thing! I only wish we could've secured the rights to that Molotov song (and believe me, we gave it our best shot). It's still in the trailer because I haven't had time to update it...

And Kurly kicks much ass in the movie as Matool, man. Can't wait to hear what you think of the flick.

Oh yeah -- the release date has been pushed back to June 7th, but that's only an additional two weeks... we should still have copies at Fango's Weekend of Horrors in Burbank, June 4-5.

Trailer doesn't work for me. Oh well. Exactly what does that mean about an alternative lifestyle when everyone's dead?

Wait, do you mean the trailer wouldn't play for you, or that you just didn't dig it? If it didn't play, please lemme know...

[!Vision!]

The trailer would not play for me and I'm on a T1 connection, so it's not a bandwidth issue. The site might be experiencing some heavy traffic, so I'll try again at a later time.

[darkchimp]

Cool. Thanks for the word, and please lemme know how it goes. I just tried downloading both trailers and they worked fine, so hopefully you won't have any more trouble with them.

Here are a few review quotes for ya:

"The Stink of Flesh is a fantastic entry in the zombie subgenre. Great characters, talented filmmaking, an inventive storyline, and enough exploitation elements to keep the gore hounds happy. Definitely recommended and in my humble opinion, a far better film than 28 Days Later."
--Lawrence Raffel, Monsters At Play

"It's f@cking AWESOME!"
-- Scott Spiegel (Raw Nerve Productions, co-writer EVIL DEAD 2)

"Kurly Tlapoyawa is a real find, a burly brew of machismo and ironic detachment, a deft thespian as well as stunt brawler; a megawatt talent on a 40-watt budget... Although viewers are likely to compare The Stink of Flesh to Romero’s zombie trilogy, I felt Phillips’ feature—with its casual attitude towards sex and death as well as its rockabilly backbeat—owes a lot more to L.Q. Jones’ cult film A Boy And His Dog. A Boy And His Dog also features a breakout performance, this one by a young fresh-face named Don Johnson, as well as a dynamic directing debut for Jones. One could easily see The Stink of Flesh having the same cult status..."
-- John Oak Dalton, MicrocinemaScene

So head on over to Tempe Video (http://www.tempevideo.com) to pre-order your copy today!

[Divided Soul]

Wow thats quite a review... Burly brew of machismo... :)

[laudadio76]

I recieved my copy of Stink from Tempe today. I barely had to wait at all!
I was expecting it to come at the end of June!

[laudadio76]

I'll watch the movie tomorrow

[Kemper]

its easy to get a worthless quote for movies...I mean how many times have we heard these things and the movie sucks. I hope it's watchable but i ain't holding my breath.

It looks pretty weak to tell you the truth.

[darkchimp]

Hey, thanks for the vote of confidence, Kemper!

But seriously, thanks for ordering the DVD, laudadio76. I hope you dig it! Meanwhile, Phil Davies Brown has posted the interview he did with me over at Horror Asylum. (http://www.horror-asylum.com/frameset.asp?page=http%3A//www.horror-asylum.com/interview/scottphillips/interview.asp) I managed to accidentally give the impression that we shot the movie on a one-chip camera, which ain't the case, but what the hey.

Phil's rather positive review (http://www.horror-asylum.com/frameset.asp?page=http%3A//www.horror-asylum.com/database/reviews.asp%3Fitem%3D4523) of THE STINK OF FLESH is also online, give it a read!

I bought this film on monday, it was a toss up between undead and since i already own the dutch version of undead i went for this, i didnt realise the guy who posts on here is involved with it. when i have watched it i will leave feedback about tha film

[Kemper]

Don't get me wrong... i will buy it...i just haven't seen too many movies at this level that are good...on any level.

My apologies for my rudeness.

Do you think it's better than 28 Days Later? :)

Do you think it's better than 28 Days Later? :)

Sorry about my sarcasm, Kemper -- I didn't mean anything by it. Just that reviews are all about opinion, and a movie that four reviewers (so far) have said they liked better than 28 Days Later might be a movie that you think is terrible. While we shot STINK on the same kind of camera they used for 28 Days Later (minus the expensive attachments), obviously we were working on a non-existent budget as opposed to their 9 million dollars. Whether STINK is better or not is entirely up to whoever is watching it -- we did what we could in terms of having an unusual storyline and characters instead of the same old thing, and that isn't gonna be everyone's cup of tea.

Me, I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out, while obviously there are things I wish we'd had a little more money or time for. But ultimately, my opinion doesn't count -- it's up to the folks who buy the DVD, and I appreciate your willingness to pony up the dough even when you have misgivings. I hope you'll see what we were after and will enjoy the movie. Thanks, man!

[Kemper]

ahhhhhh....i'm just jealous :)

I do long form videos for companies and i know how hard that is...this must be incredible. I hope to find out one day. Like i said i will buy it.

Enjoy this time...i hope you can really build on it.

[laudadio76]

[Mervin Chip Chipperson]

I don't know, it had its moments but all the weird sex stuff, the kid, and all the scenes featuring the abdomen head prosthetic made this movie for me go from good bad, to just plain bad. Everyone else seems to be enjoying the heck out of it though, go figure.

[Pain]

Have just ordered myself a copy!

[The Blind Dead]

I'll be ordering this myself.

[EricDaNerd]

Got my copy a couple of days ago and Me and My lady friend saw it yesterday. All I can say is GREAT JOB!!!

I honestly had my expectations kinda on the low side because this WAS a pretty low budget picture but wow did you guys do an excellent job. We absolutely loved it. Scott Phillips rocked this one out. Great actors. Interesting story. And awesomely well done ending.

Trying to scrounge up so more peeps to watch it and to buy some copies. Spreading the word on Matool as we speak.

Also the extras on the DVD are boss! :zom2:

[XposedGuts]

[Pain]

This is where i ordered my copy from

http://www.tempevideo.com/

[XposedGuts]

[hardcoreone2]

Wow man! I've been away for a while. Congrats on getting the distribution deal! I just ordered a copy. This movie is soooooo cool. Can't wait to watch the extras.

[Pain]

Just watched it. Damn fine stuff, made me chuckle the whole way through! Gonna order pizza now and watch the extras! :)

Good job! :clap:

[warior 13]

This DVD is at the CD store and I'm gonna buy it, so has anyone else seen it and can you tell me how it was?

[Slumlord]

The trailer makes it look like a soft-porn movie with zombies thrown in. I dunno, I'd like to rent it first if possible.

[SkullOrchard]

Stink of Flesh was excellent. :rock:

[midniteloser]

can i have a quick summary of the film, please?

[Bad Zombie Night]

Here's a review done in the Horror Fan Reviews (http://www.allthingszombie.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=23) forum: The Stink of Flesh (http://www.allthingszombie.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4242&highlight=Stink+Flesh) :mrgreen:

[Dead Remains]

Suprisingly I really liked this movie. Usually I hate it when they put weird sex scenes in horror movies but it was just so funny. Plus the makeup was pretty good and I love how the blood shot straight up from the head whenever a zombie was shot.

[corgi37]

So it seems Academy Awards all round then?

BTW, the chick looks hot too.

[!Vision!]

I could've done without the sex stuff, and the freaky mutant thing on the sister's stomach, but other than that it was a fun movie.

[outkast]

So, I just finished watching it, and I must say I did rather enjoy it.

I have a question though. Did anyone else notice the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu/Mixed Martial Arts used by Matool?

He had a zombie in his gaurd and rolled into an omoplata. He was throwing elbows and knees. Also threw some low kicks on one zombie. Then, in the final fight, he put Mandel in a nice triangle choke.

If you don't know wtf I'm talking about, just disregard this.

[The Blind Dead]

Hey! How ya doin! Lemme introduce you to my friend Searchy Searcherton.

[outkast]

Sorry about that. My mistake.
I looked back a few pages and didn't see it.

[The Blind Dead]

No need for apologies! We've all done it.

As for the movie...I thought it was extremely interesting. I was kind of surprised at the originality.

[josephperkins]

Hmm are youplanning of making any more zombies movies and if so ,how can i get involed in it?

[The Blind Dead]

This really isn't the topic to be seeking filmmakers. Better luck in the Indie Filmmaking forum.

[DEATH DREAMS author]

I rented it from Netflix and dug it. The writing is out there man, but that's what I liked... Read my review at Netflix under user "Induced Revelations author"...
