I heard a lot of positive stuff about this movie years ago. Back then I had seen Zombie which I didnt like that much, except in parts, so when I came to know Fulci made this one, I naturally didnt expect much from it.

Finally I got my hands on a VHS copy and I wasnt disappointed, for the simple fact that I didnt expect much. The plot was a bit confusing (so I had to watch it closely a 2nd time) and the real action didnt happen till the last 30-35 mins or so, when the zombies make an appearance for the first time. Considering the fact that the movie is around 90 mins approx, I d say one has to endure an hour before one is rewarded by some really good stuff.

All things said and done, its a good watchable flick. But still, in comparison to a movie like Dawn of the Dead, it lags far behind, IMO.

Perhaps Fulci has taken narrative beyond itself, as a condition of its existing, and it is only because the being of the characters can be doubled into the beyond that he finds their actions worth narrating at all.

Plus there's a neat eyeball-popping of some bitch whore.
