He's also a sweetheart!

And still working away on the smallest budgets possible!

Luigi Cozzi made it! He's kind of a classic.

Now that is one I have seen. How Did This Get Made? featured it last year and I wanted to make sure I knew what they were going on about. Christopher Plummer agreed to be in it because he wanted to go to Rome.

It's quite something. It even had John Barry doing the soundtrack.

Never even heard of it, but Hasselhoff? Joe Spinell? AND Caroline Munro? (I met her)
It's on my radar now.
Happiness is a warm… yes it is… GUN!

Yes!
Speaking of Italian rip-offs…Have you seen
Starcrash
?

I love how much of a lousy rip-off it is of Dawn of the Dead, which is a superior movie in every way. It uses the same score and tries to use the same character of Roger about 4 or 5 times. One of those lame clones even dresses in drag in one scene. WTF Italy, you glorious bastards, you!

Right?
These movies are often funnier than actual comedies.

This movie is asinine. I love it.

Anyway, i read from an expert film reviewer that you have terrible taste in horror movies. Also his film reviews of horror movies are written better than yours.

I loved the overdubbed news footage and the random animal footage. The way it cut from the crazy SWAT man shooting the zombie in the head to stock footage of diving birds did my head in for a few seconds.

Yeah it was around half way through that someone was shouting to shoot them in the head. Not that much of that happened.
The stock footage was quite obvious.

Finished watching it this morning and they did have problems with remembering the head shooting rule. I got a bit bored during the village sequence but apart from that it was a fun watch.

Awwww
I love a good "that guy".
I love spaghetti westerns too. I'll probably see him around!

Yep, he does. He's "that guy in all the spaghetti Westerns."
You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything.

Does he quality as a "that guy"?

Plus Vic Israel as a shambling zombie priest. He's in a lot of Italian spaghetti Westerns, plus played the whistling baggage man in Horror Express.

All that and boobs. What more do we need?

This film is a hilariously horrendous hoot and a half. Lots of choice terrible dubbing, mismatched stock footage, and over-the-top cheesy gore.

I haven't seen that. Jotting that down right now on my "movies to chase" list!
This makes me so happy!
Thanks! ️

"Robert O'Neil", the actor who plays the captain of the SWAT team in Hell of the Living Dead, also starred in another Eurotrash gem called Mad Foxes (1981). In this film, O'Neil plays a wealthy Spanish playboy who battles Nazi bikers to the death for whatever reason. It's trashy fun.

Just finished it! That was fun. But I have to say I got taken out of it a bit by all that recycled Goblin. I kept thinking of the films they came from. They even took "Quiet Drops" from
Buio Omega
(I think that's
Beyond the Darkness
in English?). But as a whole it's definitely watchable. Very Italian so of course it's very charming, so it's a thumbs up from me, too, for fans of the genre.
Ooooooh
THE BEYOND
is one of the best movies EVER (for me. Some if my non Italian horror loving friends think I'm nuts for saying things like that.
Omg omg omg FULCI FANS HERE YAAAAAAAS!

This is one of my all time favorite horror flicks and my third favorite Italian zombie film after The Beyond and Zombi 2. Thanks for showing this film some respect — after all, it IS the Rodney Dangerfield of zombie films in that it gets little or no respect. Yes, it has horrendous dubbing, often goofy dialogue and sometimes misplaced animal stock footage, but it's a thrilling and entertaining old school zombie apocalypse film just the same. I first saw it on cable TV back in the early 80's under the title 'Night of the Zombies', this was long before zombie films were mainstream, and it creeped me the **** out! They just don't make 'em like THAT anymore….. Director Bruno Mattei's "masterpiece".
