Hell of the Living Dead

[aga]

Have to say I quite like this, and definitely include it in the good Italian Zombie movie column. If you didn't enjoy this don't touch After Death or Killing Birds, I have a feeling you won't like them.

I've never loved the Fulci/Bava type zombie movies. I will watch them, and usually have some really great gore scenes, but the plots are nigh impossible to follow. I did like a LOT of scenes in Zombi. Actually Fulci has some good ones, House by the Cemetary is really quite good. This movie, as i recall, was decent. But I can't say its a good movie, unless you have a fetish for foreign Z movies, or a lot of patience.

Neil = Always late to the party HellOTLD is a great slice of italian cheddar Don't you mean Mozzarella? I've never loved the Fulci/Bava type zombie movies.

To be honest his stuff isn't all that yet people seem to praise it to the highest order. To me all his movies were gore for the sake of gore. The story, characters and acting were pointless.

Thanks Neil... for the longest time I was starting to feel like I was alone in my feelings for Fulci's work.

Dawn 04 didn't go gore crazy, it had characters you actually gave a damn about (Cj, Michael, Andy) Fulci's work had none of that, neither did another zombie film from the beloved master, but we will save that for another thread.

I didn't mean the gore....I meant the character part. I'm glad you felt for the characters in Dawn04. At least all two of you enjoyed the movie.

See for me I fel there were more characters to care about in DAWN 04 vs. LOTD. George is usually great at character development but LOTD lacked a lot of that, at times it felt like a Fulci Movie. Hell of the Living Dead is just what Axlish said.... great italian cheese. It is a fun movie to watch and laugh at, but other than that it is a true rip off of Dawn of the Dead just set in the jungles.

Don't get your Dawn04/LOTD defense shields up, Lucille. I was just joshing around.

Oh I know... I don't have them up.... YET.
