Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Metal_Basher I first watched Hell of the Living Dead on BETA tape in the 1980's and I always thought of it as a kind of snuff movie because of the gritty video and realistic gore effects (i.e. bullet wounds). Plus, experiencing this movie on a poor quality tape only adds to that effect. Watching it on streaming channels in much higher quality doesn't really eliminate the snuff aura, at least when it comes to viewing the gore in higher detail. I am very impressed with it and I'm not even that much of a gore hound. A horror movie has to entertain me on the eerie level before anything and HOTLD delivers there, especially when the focus is on a small jungle village and what is revealed to be hiding inside an abandoned laboratory. Let's just say, a certain professor knows it's lunch time. I also very much liked the scene where a little boy who was bitten by a zombie dies and comes back to life, then is shot down by heroic commandos after taking a bite out of his exhausted papa. Not many horror films are gutsy enough to mix children and violence in this manner. Also interesting is when we meet a Barbara Bush look-alike grandma ghoul and her undead kitty kat, burrowing inside of her tummy until kitty's rest is disturbed by our uniformed heroes. Very original and just plain creepy. Sure, the acting is laughable, but I think it's mostly due to the awful voice-overs. The funniest character has to be the Yanni look-alike cameraman, he alone is worth the price of admission! These characters are a hoot to observe, one must admit. So basically, this is an entertaining Italian "date night" zombie movie for those who appreciate the trashy side of horror. An underrated gross out gem that will curb your appetite for anything red and squishy.

MonsterVision99 This is definitely one of the best zombie movies ever made, its gory, it has nudity and its entertaining fun, Bruno Mattei its great again and Claudio Fragasso just makes it even better, there are different types of zombies on this movie, every extra just kinda of does their own thing, one of the truly remarkable elements in the film is its pacing with the zombies, at first you just see a couple of zombies, then it becomes a group of zombies, then a whole village, then a city and it goes on and on, there's also a sense of traveling in the film since it goes from one location to the other by the time it ends it leaves you feeling like you were on a journey, the dialog its great, Claudio wrote all the characters to be sleazy bastards with interesting pasts, its one crazy fun movie, definitely a watch for horror fans.

loomis78-815-989034 A chemical plant in New Guinea accidentally releases a deadly virus that turns everyone that it comes in contact with into the living dead. Supposedly a SWAT team is called to the location to take care of the problem. A Reporter (Newton) and her photographer tag along to the island and cannibal zombies munch natives and everything else eventually ending up back at the chemical plant. Where do you start with such a notoriously bad movie? The plot and story makes little to no sense. The characters act stupid from start to finish and Director Bruno Mattei doesn't seem to care. He fills this movie with stock film footage of natives on the island. The problem is he's cutting back and forth with the actors and the film stock isn't even close to matching, apparently no one cares. The elite SWAT team is made up of four clowns who are more interested in getting tail than doing their jobs. The dubbing is the worst, the music is by Goblin and tracks are stolen directly from "Dawn of the Dead". This is truly lazy film making at its worst. Director Mattei started in adult films and it shows. The compositions are boring and stale and everything feels sleazy even when it shouldn't. Yes there is some cheesy gore shown in disgusting well lit close ups. Intestines are splattered and a tongue is ripped out and shoved up inside until the victim's eyeballs pop out. The gore and everything else involved in this Italian Zombie flick is unconvincing and extremely poor, it's not even worth watching for laughs.

callanvass Prepare yourself for nothing but negative thoughts, so if that isn't your cup of tea, I'd suggest you read reviews elsewhere. To lambaste this film simply isn't enough. How about all the musical scores it borrowed? Dawn of The Dead, Beyond The Darkness, Alien Contamination, and City of The Living Dead among others. It doesn't have a pulsing score of its own! One of the characters is even a direct carbon copy of Roger's character in Dawn of The Dead! This was around the time where Zombie films were coming out like flies. Some of them were entertaining, others were virtually unwatchable. This is one of them. The dubbing is abhorrent. We get dubious lines such as "Hold it! That's not polite! I get the first shot!" "These mothers have more lives than a cat!" It could have realized how awful it was by adding fun cheese, but it takes itself incredibly seriously with a mundane approach. We get pointless shots of animal's at the most random times which I guess Bruno Mattei (Aka. Vincent Dawn) thought would be symbolism of sorts. The abundance of scenes with characters doing inexplicably idiotic things is uncanny. Things back then weren't so prohibited, so we do see some controversial violence. A kid gets shot in the head; a tongue gets yanked out of someone's mouth while her eyeballs pop out; countless scenes of natives and zombies doing some gut munching; many, many bullet wounds. The gore is plentiful if you're a gore hound. But since the movie is so boring, you probably won't care. It's hard to describe a performance with such atrocious dubbing, but I'll give it a go. Margit Evelyn Newton is our heroine, and she does OK. She provides a lot of screaming, and a failed tough girl act in the middle of the film, but that's about it. Final Thoughts: Please, please, please! I implore you to avoid this like the plague. If you are the die hardest of Zombie fans, you still won't get any satisfaction. If you wanna check out a good zombie movie; Dawn of The Dead (remake as well) Night of The Living Dead (original) or Zombi are pretty safe choices. 1.5/10
