The only thing slightly intriguing about this painfully bad flick is figuring out what came over writer/producer/director/leading-actor Bill Hinzman in order to actually release this. You'll surely recognize him from George A. Romero's sublime "Night of The Living Dead" in which he had a modest but very memorable role as the zombie with whom it all begins. Aside from a few other jobs in the business, he never really meant anything but he suddenly felt the urge and ambition to make a nonsense movie that completely focuses around him. In the exact same suit and make-up (he hasn't even aged a day in over 20 years) Bill rises from a grave in the middle of the Pennsylvanian forests. He goes on killing a group of ultra-stupid teenagers who're picnicking nearby. The ineptness Zombie Nosh is funny for about 15 minutes. After that it becomes simply unbearable and impossible to sit through. Here is a quick summary of all the amateurish events that occur during the first half hour:
There's plenty of more idiocy where that came from, but you get the picture. If you happen to be on mission to purchase all the stinkers in horror, make sure you add Zombie Nosh to your list. In any other case avoid!
- When the zombie grave is opened and the undead Bill opens his eyes, the discoverer just stares at him for a good 10 seconds. No screams, no frights...not even an attempt to flee. He just looks at him and awaits an attack
- During that same sequence, zombie Bill supposedly throws the victim's corpse away from the grave but you can clearly see the cable that pulls the actor up.
- A (not so) attractive girl seduces a dude to have sex with her in a shed, but instead of being sensual, she sounds like she's ordering a pizza.
- The editing looks like it was done by blind monkeys
- The gore, although plenty of it, is laughable. The zombies bite entire portions of flesh out of their victims' throats and that strangely resemblances to eating hamburgers at McDonalds.
