Zombie cinema is given a South American twist in 2000's "Flesh Freaks," a shot-on-video production from writer/director/star Conall Pendergast. The helmer certainly attempts to jazz up the proceedings, turning a monster breakout into a series of scenes with swirling camerawork and heavy editing, laboring to make the smallness of the endeavor at least look exciting. The effort is noted, but there's not much in the way of thrilling stuff in the feature, as Pendergast doesn't have enough material to fill his picture, resorting to plenty of padding, which is numbing to watch. When scary stuff actually does occur, "Flesh Freaks" shows off its love of gross-out moments, but it's not enough to sustain the entire movie, as tedium wins in the end. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
