The new book The Gore Compendium is  “a personal selection of gore, splatter and zombie-madness” movie reviews limited to 666 hand-numbered copies.  I snagged copy #44, from which I’ll share their review of Flesh Freaks:

[...] Conall Pendergast – a young Canadian filmmaker – didn’t had the budget, nor a decent cast, but he did had the guts to create an ambitious movie that stands out of the zero-budget fright flicks.  The story is entertaining, the acting is quite good [...] and sure, some of the fx work while others look pretty crappy, but at least this guy dared to work with full sized props instead of using grey-painted folks as cheap looking zombies. [...] The movie was shot on digital video in Canada and some parts at Central America where he filmed some wild animals to use as footage in true Mattei style.  Now give this guy a budget, some good equipment, a decent cast, and let him do this one again! [sic]

Thanks, Z & M.  The Gore Compendium is a great little read but unfortunately it’s currently available only in Europe.  For more info check out the website and the myspace page.
