Quotes

Sheriff: Give me your attention, men. I want you to understand we have a dangerous situation here. I've already lost one man. Most of you knew Harv Morgan. I want to get those things that killed him. Now, we are going to split up into groups. No less than two people to a group. We're going to head west until we meet up with the group coming from the east with Deputy Gary.
Posse Member: What are we looking for?
Posse Member: Yeah, Sheriff. What are these things?
Sheriff: They're dead things. They're dead, and they're attacking people.

Crazy Credits

The characters and events depicted in the motion picture entitled "FLESHEATER" are fictional. Any similarity to actual persons living, dead, or the living dead, or to actual events or places is purely coincidental.

Alternate Versions

The 1993 UK Vipco video version (released as "Zombie Nosh") was cut by 1 minute 41 secs by the BBFC to remove a disemboweling scene, the flesheater forcing his hand through a topless girl's stomach and shots of a topless female zombie eating a corpse, and to heavily edit a scene where a girl is chased around a bedroom and bitten. The cuts were fully restored for the 2003 DVD release.

Great trash movie

Great trash movie. Lots of gore and naked teenagers. The acting is probably the scariest thing about the film, but it's great fun. Especially when you know that the director (who also plays the first zombie in the film) is the guy playing the zombie on the cemetery in "Night of the living dead".
