[Ryan_Zombie]

Directed by NOTLD 68's Cemetary Zombie(Bill Hinzman), I couldn't believe that I had completely forgotten about this since I saw it in the very early 90's. I just so happened to run into it some time ago, and snatched it from the shelf as quickly as I could for 2$(I just recently saw just one copy on Amazon on sale for almost 300 bucks!~)

Anyway, to jump into the story a bit, this is not your typical zombie rompous. If one didn't know better, you would think you're watching an unofficial remake of NOTLD '68. Instead of radiation that starts the dead returning to life and attacking the living, it deals with a satanic theme.

A bunch of college kids are on a hay-ride in the woods, when a man clearing his land with a tractor accidently runs into a shallow grave. Wouldn't you know that after he clears away the leaves, reads some satanic scripture, and uncovers the grave only to find a zombified Bill Hinzman, the zombie plauge is then unleased on a bunch of back-woods kids and their friends?

It sounds cheesey, and it is, bit it's one of the best surprises to come along in a great while. A great score, some kick-ass gore, and a very very atmospheric laiden premise. I have the fully uncut version that shows everything, so if you can by some chance get the uncut version, please do so. This film has a few other aka's such as 'Flesheater', and 'Zombie Nosh', both of which are cut...I think.


If you like naked women along with your zombies, you'll like this. And how many zombie films is there where a zombie walks into someones suburban home and kills them naked...while just exiting the shower?'Revenge of the Living Zombies'...if you're a zombie fan, you can't go wrong.
