I just seen this movie and have to say that it really wasnt all that great. I rented it because alot of reviews said it was awesome. It was really boring after the first 10 mins. But , it was gory at the end. Not one I will watch again.
What do u think about the film? What other zombie movies do u suggest besides Night, Dawn, and Day of the dead?

Nice work zwoti.
no probs, i consider it my duty to spread the word of italian horror..
while we are here let's mention zombie holocaust (aka dr butcher md), from the same people, filmed in the same places as fulci's zombie.

Zombie holocaust oh yeah with some gruesome stuff like cutting victims vocal chords on his operating table to keep em quiet (Yikes)
So far, House by the Cemetary is my fave Fulci film. But there are some other's I have not seen yet.

House by the cemetary - good call.
Its a bit crummy if you cant get the uncut one tho cos the bbfc did spoil it with ridiculous cuts

Hmmm I don't know if I saw the uncut version or not. I rented it from Netflix, which I am getting rid of for a much better online DVD rental company called Greencine.

If you actually saw the entire knife in the head scene at the beginning rather than knife.......head...........body with knife already in head then you saw uncut.

Hey, you Brits are luckier than you think. For instance, over there, you have The Stepfather on DVD. It has yet to be produced here in the US.

Japan eh? Nice one they sometimes churn out little crackers for example if you've seen bio-zombie subtitled but awesome film.

Yes, I have seen it. Boy, is that an understatement. LOL I have seen it and own it on VHS. I like it because of Terry O'Quinn. He is just such an awesome actor and sexy as well.

it's all a case of who owns the distribution rights, like the nightmare on elm street boxset. the us has all the films while the uk boxset only had 5.

Good point. Distributers should have the foresight to distribute all titles of a particular series rather than just some of them.

my favourite was the anchor bay halloween series boxset with all the films (upto h20) EXCEPT halloween 6.

Yes Great films. They eventually released 6 tho didnt they. You can get it as a double pack with Halloween Ressurection from MVC.
