Amateurish home-movie project attempt at a horror movie...

Of course I had never heard about this 2000 horror movie titled "Flesh Freaks" prior to stumbling upon it by random chance here in 2025. And given my love of all things horror, of course I opted to sit down and watch the movie.I have to admit, though, that I wasn't exactly harboring the biggest of expectations to the movie as I sat down to watch it.From the very first scene, it was rather obvious that this was a low budget production. But I still carried on with the movie, as a low budget movie doesn't necessarily equal a bad movie.The narrative in the movie was not particularly compelling, interesting or entertaining, which meant that sitting through 79 minutes of this was quite an ordeal.Needless to say that I was not familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list. And I can't claim that I was particularly impressed with the performances on the screen, not that they were bad or anything, but they were just bland and forgettable."Flesh Freaks" wasn't exactly a movie with great special effects to lift up the otherwise bland narrative.If you enjoy horror movies, like I do, then don't waste 79 minutes on this movie. Some of us suffered through this ordeal, so you don't have to; you're quite welcome.My rating of "Flesh Freaks" lands on a generous two out of ten stars.

Canadians should stick to werewolf films if anything

A couple of anthropologists talk endlessly about whether one saw a zombie or a terrorist while the most fake 'zombie" ever kills people in mundane ways. LOW budget home-made zombie film that doesn't do anything right, the acting's atrocious. The plot horrid. The camera work terrible. and no suspense. All this adds up to one of the worst ways you can spend an hour and a half. I feel dumber just having watched this moronic trash. Only serious maschocists need apply. Don't say I haven't warned you.My Grade: F DVD Extras: Director's commentary; Outtakes; 2 short films (Flicker and Satan's Psycho Ghoul); Preview Trailer; and Trailer for "Kill them and eat them"

seems like they blew the entire budget on tickets to Belize...

This is the most amateurish and boring (so-called) "horror" movie I've ever had the misfortune of seeing. I watched the first 30 minutes and could hardly stay awake (at 5 PM), then I couldn't stand any more. This is a movie that manages to make archeology in Central America look even more boring than it actually is. The (non-existent) "plot" concerns a group of archeologists in the Belize rainforest, supposedly excavating artifacts from an ancient Mayan temple. They're attacked by a "zombie" who looks like a young Canadian filmmaker with black paint on his face. That's probably because it is in fact a young Canadian filmmaker with black paint on his face... The movie is shot with horrible sound and shaky hand-held video, in a documentary style with realistic (i.e. very boring) dialogue. Most of the movie is an annoying, monotonous, droning voice-over by the one guy who managed to survive the murderous "zombie". The script is truly awful, with lines like "There was also an ancient well, its purpose long since forgotten". OK, excuse me, but isn't the purpose of a well usually the storage of water? I mean, did anyone actually think about reading this script through once it was written? It seems as if someone wrote the whole movie one night, probably after drinking several beers, and then decided with his friend to go to the travel agency the next day and buy two tickets to Belize, because he had a friend there who was an archeology student and would let them stay there for a couple of weeks. I've honestly never seen a worse movie than this. Its only value is to show you what not to do if you're a young independent filmmaker. It was apparently made in Canada. It makes a Canadian university and the jungles of Belize look like the two most boring places on earth. All of the characters speak in monotonous droning voices and it's clear they're all consciously trying to remember their lines as they deliver them. They blew the entire budget for shooting the movie on the plane tickets which took them to the Central American jungle. (I don't know if it's Belize or not.) The most interesting shots in the movie are of an ant carrying a leaf and some birds, lizards and monkeys in the forest. There are absolutely no special effects at all, the gore is extremely fake and only seen for a few seconds in the entire movie, the constantly shaking camera is really hard on the eyes, and the makeup and costumes are non-existent. The "zombie" is a guy wearing ordinary clothes (jeans and a shirt, not even ragged!) with some black grease smeared on his face. It's quite obvious that he is a healthy young guy. Don't waste your time with this embarrassingly awful Canadian student movie. Some film students are definitely majoring in the wrong subject...
