REVIEW – The Stink of Flesh
Oh man, oh man this flick is chock-full-o-freaks, and I’m not talking about the zombies, people.
Even though I watched this thing twice, I’m still not sure on the plot. From what I gather The Stink of Flesh is about two things, sex and zombies.
Although this is in essence a zombie film (with even a lil’ nod to Fulci) the zombies actually play second fiddle to the other characters in this film. Even though there are two varieties of zombies in this movie, the run of the mill stumbling and bumbling slow ass zombies, there is also a much faster type of “Hyper-Zombie” caused by a mutation of the zombie virus, but somehow the zombies in this movie just seem like an afterthought.
The real stars of The Stink of Flesh
First off we have Matool, a Mexican who never quite gave up on being a ninja when he grew up. Matool also likes long walks in the desert and hand to hand combat with zombies, and then he whips out his big ten inch nail and drives it through their heads with a cross peen hammer. When asked why, he explains that ammunition is too hard to come by. But apparently there are freakishly large nails aplenty. Hmm…
Next we have Nathan and Dexy, a married couple, who before the zombie apocalypse decided to live an “alternative” lifestyle. Essentially Dexy likes to fuck strange men while Nathan gets his jollies watching all the action from a chair in the corner. Oh, yeah, he also likes to get a little randy with the zombie chick he has shackled up in the shed out back. Is it still necrophilia if she’s trying to chew your face off while you’re getting your scrog on?
Last but not least, there’s Sassy/Dorothy, AKA Dotty. Dexy’s sister, a high functioning retard with a really gross Siamese twin-mutant-tumor thing growing out of her stomach.
If that wasn’t bad enough she also has infantile genitalia and can’t have intercourse. So she gets her thrills by running in while Dexy’s getting some strange and surprises the poor fool by beating his ass with an orange plastic Hot Wheels track. Damn… And I thought my wife was kinky.
There is something I should mention about this movie. Something unique, original and something that I never thought I’d see. Actually I’m not even too sure that I wanted to see it. Cuz it’s fucking nasty.
ZOMBIE SHIT! Yup, turds of the undead and they’re fresh too! Yum, yum… I guess if you think about it all those brains have to go somewhere, it’s just one of those things you don’t like to think about. Kind of like the time I made the mistake of watching a show on Discovery Channel that showed how hot dogs are made. Some things you’re just better off not knowing.
Oh, as a side note, in case you’re one of those people. You know who you are… If you watch “Dead Sexy: The Making of The Stink of Flesh” in the DVD extras they give you the recipe to make your very own zombie turds; to have ,to hold, and whatever else you freaks do with undead doodles… Bleechhh…..
Anyway, back to the review. This movie is what it is, a low budget horror. That being said it does a pretty decent job. The script and the acting were pitiful, but it made up for it with some pretty decent gore and makeup effects. Plus it has zombie poo… I guess that counts for something.
The DVD extra features are pretty decent also.
There’s a 46 minute making of documentary called “Dead Sexy: The making of The Stink of Flesh”
7 minutes of outtakes.
And “Rainville: The Early Years” which is a 3 minute nonsensical rant by an old man about what I still have no clue.
All in all, The Stink of Flesh
