I've seen quite a few zombie movies over the years and I have to say that the european ones are the best. The gore effects in these movies are very realistic and provide quite a few scares and Night of the Zombies is no exception.The gore effects and storyline are good and is what I expected from this type of movie, but what I didn't expect was the overlong use of stock footage from a National Geographic special which was not only unnecessary but very annoying and the dubbing could also have been handled better, but overall not a bad movie storywise. Just remember to keep the VCR remote close so you can fast forward the stock footage.

MY RATTING 7/10

.. is good and bad. The acting, bad. Script, bad. But I give it credit for one thing; zombies. Yes, the make up was horrible, but this movie had so many zombies. I loved it when the zombies chased the boat into the window, very cool. This movie is just fun to watch. I laugh at the stock footage and some of the acting, but I must admit i wish more movies like this would be made in the new millienium.

7/10

What to say about this movie? Where to start? I think I will begin with the title. I bought it as "Hell of the Living Dead". It is also known as "Virus", "Night of the Zombie", and "Zombie: Creeping Flesh". Out of these titles the creeping flesh one and virus fit, but the other two do not. Especially, the night one. Most of the zombie action takes place in broad daylight. Then there is the stock footage. I know many have commented on it, but man there is a lot of it. Here is a little advice to all film makers, don't set the movie in a location you can't film in. And if you must use stock footage at least use some different shots rather than just birds and monkeys in the tree tops. Then there is the music. When people say it is just like "Dawn of the Dead" they aren't kidding. It is exactly the same music and when it isn't music from Dawn it is music from a sci-fi movie called "Alien Containamation" and when it isn't music from it, it is a combination of both. Then there is the similarities between Dawn and this movie. The swat team, the reporters, the center at the end and the mall in dawn, the situation at the beginning where the swat team is first introduced, the elevator scene and so on. The zombies themselves aren't the best in the game. Well some do look rather good, but most of them have very little make up. Then there is the swat team who make it through horde after horde of zombie only losing one member, this team seems competent, then they reach the facilty and proceed to become very easily killed idiots. They aren't very distinct either, I think they are all dubbed by the same person.

A good point about this movie is the plot. It involves a leak a research facility called "Hope". Its nice to have zombies come to life for a reason and as bad as this flick is the end isn't to bad with plenty of gore effects. In fact after the "Hope" scene the movie cuts to two people attacked in the park and it is like wow this is looks like a better zombie movie about to start! But it is actually the end of this one. You can learn some lessons from this movie though 1) Zombies can only be killed if you shoot them in the head, but go ahead and shoot them in the body because it looks cool and you never run out of ammunition anyway 2) When going into an area of stock footage natives get the girl in your party to take her shirt off and dress up like a native, does it help, no! But if she's willing to do it let her (why didn't the horny soldiers not make one comment when she took off her shirt?) 3) If your friend is attacked by an apparently dead rat, don't lend a hand he deserves to die for being stupid enough to let himself get killed by a rat 4) Don't put your guns down and put on a tu-tu and top hat and pick up a cane when zombies are in the area 5) When on a beach it is possible to find boats just lying around 6) and finally, don't speculate on why everything is happening till you are out of the building where the zombies are, this just gives them a chance to gang up on you. In the end this is a bad flick with some areas that are OK. If you have a wicked sense of humor though and like making fun of films then give it a try.

Hell Of The Living Dead is a typical rip off of Dawn Of The Dead made by Bruno Mattei who is a very cheesy director in my opinion! I know that the acting is awful, the zombies look stupid, the make up is cheap and pretty much everything about this film is very poor, but I still love it! The main characters are a beautiful lady who is very interested in primitive tribes who live in a island in which the story takes its place. The other main characters are a group of soldiers who land on that island in order to be eaten by the zombies lol. The version which I have on a DVD is the anchor bay release. This DVD release contains only English audio which is amusingly made. Anyway, Hell Of The Living Dead contains gore, nudity, zombies, cannibals and everything that a fan of b-grade horror movies needs! Just have some booze before you watch it and prepare your self for the creeping dead that devour the living flesh!

When I first saw this movie on Cinemax nearly 20 years ago, I thought it was very gory and scary. Having seen it again just recently, it's still gory, but it is quite possibly the worst movie ever. I'm convinced it would draw ridicule from Ed Wood.

The plot involves a reporter and her crew of morons meeting up with a crew of moron soldiers to figure out what zombies are doing on a remote island (don't you dummies know you NEVER go into the jungle, unless you want to be attacked by zombies or cannibals (and sometimes tigers)?). Then the zombies show up, and bad things happen. whoopee.

At least zombie movies in the 70's had the sense to be derivative of Dawn of the Dead (if you copy a good movie, you're bound to at least do something right). This movie doesn't bother with any of that; it's just a cannibal movie with zombies instead. And a bad one, at that! The huge, canyon-like gaps in logic are enough to make one commit suicide during a viewing of this film. One of the soldiers mentions that to kill a zombie, you have to shoot it in the head. Does anybody do that? NO!! They waste 5,000,000 rounds of ammunition shooting zombies everywhere but in the head!! And why don't they leave the island? They have a boat!! And why do they just stand there and let the zombies attack them!! The FX are not special, the dubbing is awful (the guy who does the voice of the lead soldier is in every English-dubbed Italian movie), and the lighting is often non-existent. This movie has two highlights: when the heroine decides to get naked for no reason, and her particularly gruesome death. The rest is all lowlights. Avoid at all costs, and destroy every copy you see. You'll be doing everyone a favor.

A chemical leak at a plant in New Guinea causes the staff--and all of the natives--to turn into zombies. An anthropologist/TV reporter and a SWAT team are stuck on the island fighting for their lives. If there is such a thing as zombieploitation, this Italian movie is it at its worst. It "borrows" from "Dawn of the Dead" (and it sounds like it even uses snippets of the Goblin score), but leaves out or misuses all of the intelligent things that made DotD such a success. The plot and characters are so incredibly inconsistent and the editing is horrendous. It does have a high disgusting gore factor, and some impressive make-up effects (but some awful ones too). The child zombie in the beginning munching contentedly on his father's insides was simultaneously hilarious and sickening. What makes this the most bizarre zombie flick is that the footage of the New Guinea people is apparently taken from some old anthro documentary. One moment the picture is grainy and you see people performing their tribal ceremonies, the next the picture is clear and they are zombified and attacking our "heroes." Sometimes it is inappropriate (a woman eating something is edited to become a woman eating human flesh), and other times it is simply boring and filler (countless shots of animals in the wild). All that said, I think zombie movies are like pizza, and if you think so too, you'll find this one entertaining enough and it might even be funny with a buncha friends. And alcohol. My Rating: 3/10

Quite simply the worst acting of any Italian Zombie film I've seen. From the onset the cast have a habit of staring. The gore is pretty good, but not on a par with the better known classics.

This is not Dawn of the Dead. It's not Night of the Living Dead. It's a low grade 70's Italian zombie gore flick. The acting is not great, the story is shaky, the dubbing is bad, and the clips of animals are completely off of the story. But you have to take this movie for what it is. It's got some good gore and is a fun movie if you're into zombies. It's not Shakespeare. It's campy and schlocky and goofy, and if you're looking for a true quality horror movie you should go elsewhere. But if you enjoy the Italian zombie genre, you'll enjoy this one. Just don't expect Oscar caliber.

Another stupid Italian zombie movie. They are all the same really. The story is confusing and mind-numbingly stupid. There are a couple of really disgusting violent moments although overall it is unimaginative and formulaic man with a gun and zombies munching shoulders. Terrible dubbing and poor acting. Don't bother with this trash.

'Zombie Creeping Flesh' (as it was originally entitled here in the UK) was one in an entire glut of zombie flicks to follow the success of Romero's endeavours into the (zombie) horror genre.

In it's entirety 'Creeping Flesh' is a decidedly 'weak' film. The acting is crass, macho and hilarious at times. And the fact that the film must consist of at least (I assume) 30% stock-footage gives the impression that director Bruno Mattei really wasn't that enthusiastic about making the film whatsoever - either that or he was severely lacking the funding that it so desperately needed.

Having said that, the film is an entertaining enough affair; in the sense that the comedy and violence is enough to keep most horror fans interested, if not glued to the screen. The idea that zombies, and cannibalism, are a sort of metaphor for Third World hunger is a somewhat unusual idea for a zombie film and I guess this is a sort of reflection surrounding the anxieties in the era in which it was made.

I personally don't believe that this film is as bad as some people have made out. It is, by no means, on par with any of Romero's or Fulci's work yet I don't feel it deserves to be totally written-off. 'Creeping Flesh' is certainly a lot more fulfilling than 'Zombie Holocaust', for example, and a great deal more 'gung-ho'. It just fails though because it is alarmingly 'corny' and very derivate of so much that stood before it. The fact that a fair portion of the soundtrack was originally used in 'Dawn of The Dead' just goes to prove this. If you thrive on gore, zombies, cannibalism, and insane violence then try and check this film out: just don't get your hopes up too high.

Yet another NOTL rip-off, but anyone can tell from the get-go it lacks Romero's inprimatur. Cannibals meet zombies. I wish i could say double the fun, but really it's just redundant, another cheapo 'horror" with all the standard substandard elements. What is amusing is to see how far it falls from its Romero namesake. My fave is when the cannibals paint the leading lady's naked body for the native ritual: it's like a 9 year old kid's "nasty" drawing, with a bra painted on her chest, and giant circles over her nipples. I almost expected some hemp weed pasties! Come for the horror, stay for the comedy

I'm getting rather sick of seeing uncomplimentary reviews of this truly classic gorefest. Yes it does contain poor acting, yes it is a cheap rip off of some of the genres other classic titles, yes it does contain stock footage, yes it is low budget, yes it does contain moments of pointlessness and yes it is pure cheese! I'm unsure what some of the unhappy viewers were expecting when they got this film as it is obviously primarily a zombie film that is fast paced with absolutely loads of blood guts and gore practically all the way through the film. If you want an in depth meaningful life affirming film then look elsewhere. If however you want a highly entertaining fast paced ultra bloody zombie gore film that doesn't let up its relentless assault on the senses until the final reel then wait no longer.

OK... So your gonna make a Zombie Flick... Well first you need Zombie music to set the mood, get Goblin from Dawn of the Dead. In fact, use the same music. And while we are ripping of Dawn of the Dead, let's have a SWAT team.

Now.. set it in a remote location with some natives like Fulci's ZOMBIE

OK... so CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST is a pretty famous flick and Cannibals and Zombies both eat people, so let's get some Cannibal Footage to through in and some pretty wild life stuff too... we can rip that off of that Shockumentary 'Death Faces' which features all the New Guinea cannibal tribes.

Now we have to stir in a large amount of gratuitous gore and go heavy on the eye violence...

Now sprinkle lightly with nudity...

And there ya have it...one gory zombie epic sure to please any die hard zombie gore fan. (but probably no one else will like it)

This is a terrible film that had the opportunity to have been considerably better. It has an admirable start with Goblin's electronic music mixed in with story narrative, this gives it a modern feel. As the movie begins we are at a chemical plant that is not as secure as they thought. A rat is found in one of the rooms, though it's not dead as the workmen first think. It attacks one of the workmen killing him, unfortunately, he doesn't stay dead. As the trouble progresses the noxious gas starts to leak out of the facility and infects the air... bringing on an extinction event.

From here on it should have been an awesome film but the Directors, Bruno Mattei (who used the name Vincent Dawn) - this action speaks volumes - and Claudio Fragasso (who also co-wrote the story with Jose Maria Cunilles) decided to go an entirely different route than you would ever imagine.

The viewer is then subjected to some really bad over-the-top acting (more than usual for an Italian horror) as we are introduced to a crack army assault team who stop a siege at an embassy. This ten minutes is a waste of time as it's really bad and is only there to let the audience know their next mission is in New Guinea.

It appears the location was only introduced into the story so the director could hop onto the tribe and animal cruelty bandwagon, as they weave stock film of death rituals into the movie. Once again, these are not actually required and are not relevant to the film. However, it does mean the lead lady can get her boobs out and they are nice boobs.

Another handicap is the speed of the Zombies, these are your old-time shambling dead. Even Richard Briars on a Zimmer-frame could out run these stiffs (Cockney's V's Zombies). It's even played up in the film. Even the zombie make-up is poor most are just covered in light blue powder and any other embellishments are large, bulky, and unrealistic.

The twist at the end is a nice one and again if they hadn't gone the wrong direction with the story then, it could have been an outstanding Zombie movie.

I wouldn't recommend this one to anybody as there are much better Zombie flicks about, my favourite being Return Of The Living Dead... "Brains... We Need More BRAINS!!!"

When someone says a movie is so-bad-it's-good, they usually mean that it's unintentionally comedic. "Virus" is so inept that it is enjoyable in a way it was not intended to be, but it doesn't fit the traditional so-bad-it's-good classification. (Actually, there was one scene in Virus that I thought was really funny. It involves breasts--you'll know it when you see it.) Here's why I liked Virus: all the ridiculousness adds together to form a fascinating and impossibly cohesive whole. The final product is sort of like a surrealist meditation on human insignificance.

The ridiculous, slow, editing; the idiotic behavior of the characters; and the meandering plot combine to make the movie like a sort of gentle nightmare. It's really like nothing else I've ever seen. There are these lazy, extended struggles with zombies where a bunch of guys just stand back and watch nervously. Most of the heroes are soldiers, and there's an officer, but they are all equally helpless and profoundly "alone." There's a laziness to everything that gives the film an appropriate sense of inevitability. The plot is ambiguous, like in a dream. You get a general sense of what's going on but it's also rather aimless, and only when the characters got to their "destination" did I realize that they had any objective at all. The simple beauty of the animal stock footage provides a startling contrast to the bleakness it surrounds.

I don't mean you have to watch it like it's T. S. Eliot and analyze everything you see for meaning. It is, of course, a meaningless mess of incompetence. But if you sit back and just soak it all in, you will find it hypnotic, bleak, and beautiful.

Night of the Zombies was release in 1981 along with several other bad horror films. Horror films were at their peak in the 80`s. I could live with myself after watching this film. Before, I rented this trash when was about to buy Blade Runner(one of the greatest science fiction films ever made, but it was box-office disappointment). I had seen Blade Runner at least thirteen times at that point, so decide to go in the direction of Night of the Zombies. At time, I was about ten or eleven years in the fifth grade. What can you say, This movie sucked so bad I thought that Dawn of the Apocalypse was around the corner. I`ve seen elementary students who could write a better script than this awful movie.

God-awful zombie movie that very well might be the WORST Italian horror production ever, and that's saying a lot with all those numberless "Dawn of the Dead" rip-offs and Lucio Fulci wannabes. This movie is incompetent in every possible aspect. It's so bad that it even comes close to ruining the memory of all the good movies it's inspired on! The story: a factory, strategically located in the middle of the New Guinean jungle, suffers from a complete meltdown and the poisonous gas that escapes causes the native tribes to transform into walking flesh-eating corpses. Two journalists team up with a S.W.A.T team that is sent to the jungle and together they have to kill a whole lot of zombies before they can reach the factory. Naturally, this zombie romp is extremely gory, with brutal massacres and other types of pure filth every 5 seconds. But the make-up effects are pitiful and evoke more chuckles than feelings of disgust. Inspired by the almighty "Cannibal Holocaust", director Bruno Mattei (who's my pick for Italy's worst horror director) stuffs his film with images and footage of real jungle wildlife, only here it's very misplaced and completely pointless. In all honesty, there is ONE good scene involving a child-zombie that effectively illustrates the infection and the impact of the virus on human beings. The acting is terrible and the script contains a countless amount of stupidities like, for example, a detailed course of how to properly chew tobacco. Avoid, unless you're looking for a good laugh and don't mind wasting 100 minutes of your precious life with it.

Would someone please explain to me why the hell anyone would consider something like Dawn of the Dead or Lucio Fulci's Zombie's 2 superior to Bruno Mattei's masterpiece, Hell of the Living Dead. What I've mostly read about this movie is criticism. Hell is ten times better than anything Lucio Fulci ever did, bold statement? I don't think so. Lucio Fulci's work is boring, the gore scenes are literally the only positive thing. Most Italian horror is a bit on the boring side anyway, even Beyond the Darkness, the grim masterpiece that it is, is a tad boring, Hell of the Living Dead is not boring, for 70's standards, as well as todays. The fact that the score is very "borrowed" means nothing to me, I mean, who the hell cares? Stealing Goblin tunes was a stroke of genius. So, don't believe the nay sayers, Hell of the Living Dead is quality horror.

With that out of the way, Hell of the Living Dead, although far superior, fits in quite nicely with it's peers. Besides being better and longer, it's a lot darker, with a powerful apocalyptic vibe. We begin with some sort of horrible accident at a nuclear plant in New Guinea, so naturally, a world wide virus breaks out, bringing the dead back to life. This nightmare follows a female reporter and some swat team guys trying in vain to make a little sense out of all this. while making their way through the stock footage-filled jungles, it takes these people a little longer than usual to figure out that you have to shoot them in the head, although they pick it up soon enough. Our desperate crew now encounters a grieving bunch of natives that have lost loved ones to the plague of the dead, this is where Hell of the living dead kind of turns into a cross between Day of the Dead and Cannibal Ferox, so if you still feel the need to criticize this gory nightmare of an epic, then just run along and go watch The Transformers, or something. Hell of the Living Dead is a buffet of bad dubbing, cheesy violence, stolen music, and amusing stock footage, but none of those things take away from the fact that this movie is dark, hardcore, and absolutely hilarious. For a more than low-budget, Italian horror movie to accomplish all that, considering everything else, is quite miraculous. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure very little effort or money went in to this, but sometimes movies end up with positive qualities that they weren't meant to have if things didn't go how they were originally meant to. That's why they call it a diamond in the rough, you know, like The Chooper. Hell of the Living Dead, along with the title and score, among other key elements, truly feels like the end of the world. And for a horror movie, you can't ask for much more than that. Hell Of The Living Dead was a good idea. Long live Goblin. 9/10

"Night of the Zombies", though not completely terrible, is a below average Italian gore movie. It was, however, not as horrible as I thought it would be after reading most reviews. In fact I found this movie to be quite entertaining until the annoying National Geographic footage was inserted. Beyond that point, the movie became a boring mess.

The "plot" is as follows: A chemical plant has a breakdown, causing radiation and dangerous chemicals to leak into the open. These hazardous wastes cause the deceased to rise and become flesh-eating zombies. The rest of the movie follows a military group whose mission is to shut down the plant.

Besides being unoriginal (it's a "Dawn of the Dead" rip-off), this movie suffers from bad dubbing, acting, and dialogue. On the plus side, this movie has great special effects and the first half is very entertaining. But, like most other Romero rip-offs, this movie isn't very good.

For gorehounds and horror completists only. My rating: 4 out of 10

Bruno Mattei's "Virus", a.k.a. "Hell of the Living Dead", a.k.a. "Night of the Zombies", is an agreeably gory and ridiculous Italian zombie shocker that unfortunately goes on a little too long for it to completely hit the spot, but it's packed with enough laugh out loud moments to make it consistently palatable.

The story is nothing new: an accident at a chemical plant unleashes a virus that infects the recently deceased and turns them into shambling, flesh craving zombies. An elite SWAT team is hired to get to the bottom of things and they travel to New Guinea where the plant is located, hooking up with a bombshell reporter (Margit Evelyn Newton) and her cameraman, and encounter danger every step of the way.

"Virus" benefits from a couple of elements. First off, it's got the standard hilariously terrible vocal performances that we know we'll often get with these things. It's also got a hell of a hammy, delicious, eye rolling performance by Franco Garofalo, playing Zantoro, a member of the SWAT team who loves to taunt the zombies when he gets the chance. The goofy screenplay was co-written by Claudio Fragasso, whose credits include "Zombi 3", "The Other Hell", and..."Troll 2". It includes one hysterical, memorable sequence wherein another member of the team finds some clothing and decides the time is right for a little cross dressing, and launching into a Gene Kelly routine. The music by Goblin is great fun. Newton bares her flesh in one sequence, knowing this is one thing that the local tribe (and viewer) will appreciate. And the action is often intercut with utterly pointless - and thus very amusing - stock animal footage.

It doesn't have the atmosphere of Fulci's horror films of this period, but it's a nice diversion just the same. The faithful will be satisfied if they stick with it. It would be just about impossible to resist any zombie flick where one of the last characters standing gets their face ripped apart in loving close-up.

Overall, not bad.

Seven out of 10.

I am a huge gore-fan. And my favorite director is Lucio Fulci. I have seen gore from Fulci to Argento to Raimi to Itenbach to Schnaas to Romero to Lenzi to etc... But for some reason alot of people hate movies with the name "Bruno Mattei" on it. Hell of the Living Dead has been put down and made fun of by so many. Why? I saw "Night of the Zombies" years ago on VHS and was hooked. The movie, written by Claudio Fragasso [Zombie 3, Rats, Beyond Darkness, AfterDeath, etc..] is a complete rip off of Dawn of the Dead, with Goblin Music [taken from Dawn of the Dead & Luigi Cozzi's Toxic Spawn], a swat team, etc. So its a rip off, Who cares. The movie is awesome. Where else are you going to see a swat member dress up in drag, only to be eaten by zombies. The characters are hilarious! My favorite member is the swat member with long brown hair ["Guess I'm not on the menu after all!"]. The dubbing is so bad it rules! The acting is hilarious and fun. The story is basically the same "Government project gone wrong" story. FX are cheesy, yet fun to watch. This title is pure cheese, but great cheese!Thank god Anchor Bay decided to pick up some Bruno Mattei flicks and re-release them on DVD. This and Bruno Mattei's "Rats: Nights of Terror" are now out, and they are definate "Must Have" titles. If you want a serious zombie flick, look elsewhere. But Hell of the Living Dead rules! Now, if Anchor Bay can pick up the Lucio Fulci/Bruno Mattei "Zombie 3" rights and put it on DVD!!

When I first saw HoTLD, I was about 7 years old when my sister's boyfriend rented it on VHS, oh those good old days of the VCR era. So after watching it on a Friday night, I have to admit that it scared the living hell out of me. There was something about it that terrified me, maybe the grainy look or the ominous music or the gory zombie scenes, but whatever it was I couldn't sleep for days. Back in 1997 I found a copy on the now late Suncoast video store and without thinking it twice, I bought it. Has it ever happened to you that when you're a kid and you see a movie and you like it to the bone then you see the same movie as an adult and it's a total disappointment? Well, this is one of those cases, heck I even returned the movie. So I Haven't seen it since then until just a few weeks ago a friend of mine gave me his collection of cheap zombie flicks from the 80s and there it was "Hell of the Living Dead."

The story takes place somewhere in New Guinea where a research facility called "Hope" is developing some type of chemical that accidentally leaks out thanks to an infected rat turning most of the scientist into flesh eating zombies and the others into their happy meals. Meanwhile, somewhere else, a team of trigger happy commandos are sent to stop a group of environmental terrorist that have taken hostage an American Embassy, I think it was the American Embassy, and are demanding that all the Hope facilities be shutdown. The team storms the embassy eliminating the entire terrorists without much effort but not before the leader of the group says his last prophetic words about them being devoured or something like that. Then that same team of commandos is sent to New Guinea where they meet a group of reporters investigating, God knows what. There they find that the world has been overrun by zombies as they make their way to the Hope facility to find the answer of this Virus.

What makes this movie so memorable is not the story or the F/X nor the acting, but the amount of material they ripped-off from the much superior Romero's Dawn of the Dead. Director Bruno Mattei, who credited himself as Vincent Dawn, shamelessly used the same type of uniforms used by the SWAT team in DoTD for the team of commandos in HoTLD, and even the same gas masks. But if that wasn't enough, he used the exact same music composed by Goblin for DoTD without their permission. Also Mattei used a lot of old wildlife and news stock footage that didn't fit the scenes or the story. The script is incoherent at worst and the zombie scenes are totally illogical to idiotic. There's even a guy who dresses up in a tutu and starts dancing while a horde of zombies storms the room, but most idiotic is when the ultra slow zombies approach their victims, they just stand there screaming. Although I have to say, the beginning is gory and entertaining, but after the embassy scene, the movie pretty much goes downhill from there.

Okay, I'm not going to lie. It was a guilty pleasure to watch this retro junk again after so long and even with all its atrocities, it deserves some level of merit and it does delivers some horror value, well at least when it was released back in the 80s. Interesting note is that this movie has many different titles such as Virus, Night of the Zombies, Zombie Creeping Flesh and of course, the ultra generic title Hell of the Living Dead. So, if you haven't seen HoTLD and you don't mind the trashy story, the DoTD rip-off or the lame stock footage then you should check it out, at least for the gore.

An outbreak at a research lab takes the world by storm. Within the first 10 minutes you see zombies chomping down into some defenceless victims. A group of soldiers lead by Jose Gras (or Robert O'Neil), who looks like The Six Million Dollar Man Lee Majors and two reporters investigate the new zombie problem and try and survive. Just remember, because the characters in this movie can't seem to get it, just shoot them in the head.

George A. Romero's DAWN OF THE DEAD was a monster influence for this film. To the point where it seems like just a bad remake. The band Gpblin did the music, but most of it was taken right out of the Romero zombie classic. The music works though, extremely well in fact, but it was taken from other films. Never boring, but silly and repulsive. Perhaps undemanding zombie lovers might enjoy this movie.

On a final note it becomes beyond ridiculous when reporter Lia Rousseau (Margie Newton) decides she is going to go into a nearby village within the jungle alone due to her experiences in living in such a village for a year. She strips down in front of five men (four of which are pretty much strangers) and with the quickness of the unbuttoning of a blouse she is suddenly transformed into being able to mix in with the jungle tribe. Face paint and bottoms made from plants included.
