The Stink of Flesh (2005)

Memorable, crazy movie

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Awesome Movie

Absolutely Fantastic

Just a few years ago, before the most recent rise of the vampires, it was all about the Living Dead. Not unlike the mainstream, the world of Zombie B-cinema also experienced a rise in popularity. But recently, I saw a zombie flick that wasn't just a good zombie flick, or even a good low-budget zombie flick. By God, The Stink Of Flesh is just an all around good movie.Brought to you by New Mexico's king of B-cinema... oops, I mean Z-cinema, Scott Phillips. This guy brings something a little different to the table, a little something called originality. And when I say original, I mean, you won't find anything quite like this. The Stink Of Flesh starts out regular enough, with a fellow named Matool, who, in a world filled with the living-dead, thinks it's cool to fight these things and kill them with a hammer (and nails), as opposed to shooting them in the head, like everybody else. After almost getting killed, Matool is kidnapped by Nathan, and his girlfriend, Dexy. Matool isn't too fond of this kind of treatment, but their house is about as zombie-proof as it gets, and the only thing he's being forced to do is participate in their harmless, yet peculiar sex games. I'm sure Matool would have appreciated a warning that Dexy's sisters is apart of the game, but really, what's the fun in that? I'm just gonna assume Sassy and Dorothy was some kind of homage to Basket Case... which is always a welcomed quality for a Horror movie. Anyway, the zombies are present, in fact, they're everywhere, and there are gruesome, gory killings, and there is quite an apocalyptic vibe, but this movie is just too busy being a dark-humored freak show to care. That basically sums up this movie. The Stink Of Flesh never stops being interesting, unlike the repetitive work of George A. Romero. The Stink Of Flesh really puts Land Of The Dead to shame, in every way. And did I mention that this movie stars LBP's Billy Garberina? You know you're in for a good time, now. That guy is hilarious, and if you agree, I would totally recommend Wet Heat. But for those of you who are burnt out, or just bored with the regular, everyday living dead nonsense that the mainstream throws at us, yet you feel you're still above stuff like Zombie Rampage, and Mulva: Zombie Ass Kicker, this one might be just right. 10/10

This is the kind of movie that you want your friends to see, preferably in your living room after you've ordered the pizza, passed out the beer and possibly broken into the stash. It's a great, fun zombie movie that explores the possibilities of what it would be like to maintain an alternative lifestyle in a world full of zombies.Soundtrack is great, acting is good, plot is excellent: especially so for a straight-to-video feature. I've paid a lot more to see a lot less.If you're into B movies, indie horror, zombie flicks or just movies that are fun in a lighthearted sort of way, you'll like this one.

I didn't expect much from this flick, but it's actually pretty good. The acting is decent, the story is interesting, and the zombie make-up is passable. It even had a good score that reminded me a bit of Tom Waites. The main character, Matool, kicks some zombie butt in a few well-choreographed fight scenes, too.Here I was enjoying this and then... it ended. A couple of characters run off into the desert, Dexy and the mute kid are still in the house, surrounded by zombies, and the damned thing just ends. What a let-down! What happened? The end (or lack of one) ruined it for me, I must admit. I would have rated this one higher if it hadn't come to such a clumsy and unsatisfying non-conclusion.Ah well, better luck next time!

i had a lot of fun watching this movie. Actually i really don't know why i liked it because the acting suck, the make up effect suck and it's pretty obvious that this zombie flick doesn't bring something new to the genre. but it make me laugh and i liked the characters. In my mind it surely beat dead meat and it's beat many zombie movie who pretend to be serious. It's not a comedy like shaun of the dead and it's not a great zombie movie like night of the living dead but it's surely one of the best zombie movie i have seen in a long time. Maybe i am the only one on earth but i don't care, i liked it and I'm surely watch it again with a bunch of friend and a couple of beer and have some good laugh.
