I like the idea of being a survivor of a zombie outbreak and running into other survivors who...umm...have a different lifestyle that yours.

You see our hero, Matool, runs into a married couple, Nathan & Dexy. Dexy likes to have sex with other men while Nathan likes to watch. Dexy's sister, Sassy, likes to take part in these sexual escapades as well (she's the designated whipper) . Well, as you can imagine during a zombie apocolypse, men who are alive are hard to come by. So when Matool stumbles into Nathan & Dexy's lives you can imagine the excitement. Matool is a bit weirded out by the situation he's just found himself in yet he seems to dig the prospects of having lots of sex with Nathan's wife.

Anyway, throw in an orgy of other survivors and, let's not forget, some zombies and you've got yourself an interesting story.

However, the dialog and acting are pretty atrocious. This could've easily been a "serious" movie (when it comes to zombies and the apocalypse, how could you not be serious?). But the characters come off as silly for the most part.

And the Sassy character was a bit too much. You see she has two siblings. There's our sexual "goddess" Dexy and then there's Dorothy. Dorothy is a demonic looking mutated face attached to Sassy's abdomen. uh. yeah. it's dumb.

Overall, The Stink of Flesh is a unique and good idea and it's not a complete waste of time. Have a few beers while watching this one and then when your done imagine what you'd do in the situation that was just presented to you. The idea of it alone is just creepy as hell. I give The Stink of Flesh 3 blood drops.
