Movie Reviews of City of the Living Dead
Movie Review: An italian cult classic
Summary: 5 Stars
i remember back in the day,this movie was baned in several countries & even in the states. For a while when we finally rented it the lable said banned/I think it had something to do w/insulting the catholic church & i can see why.A preist,maggots, siances a head being drilled not so nice.
It had some serious WOW FACTOR in its day.The film maker FULCI starred in the film in a small cameo.
When we saw it/The name of the movie was called THE GATES OF HELL\Thats the one that said it was banned & it was finally released after much editing.For in its day there was nothing out like this at all.Which only made ppl want to see it that much more.A cult classic for sure.
How the name got changed i do not know,I do know that it had 9 minutes of cut material that would not make the grade,cuz it was hardcore.So taking that bit out got it released & once popularity of curious horror fans found out about this wild film.
It only gained momentum & its notarity & to watch it today all i can do is admire FULCI's work as he made many ole films.
It has some vulgar parts in it~That in todays time of horror flicks this one would come off cheesey,I still enjoy it, But us that saw it back in the day~This was a different take upon anything that was debuting at the time.
Id say by now its a cult classic im so happy to of finally gotten a copy to go w/my collection.
If you have not seen it & want to see some pretty good ole school graphics & the story line makes sense.This is an old film that was ahead of its time as was said about fulci~BRILLIANT in his craft
Movie Review: One of my favorite Fulci flicks
Summary: 5 Stars
I absolutely love this movie. For some reason I cant stop watching it, and constantly keeps making its way into my dvd player. Its a very colorful and a dark movie at the same time and the soundtrack is nothing short of amazing. The regurgitation of giblets scene is worth the price of the movie alone! Sure,there are not zombies running loose all over the place like "Dawn of the Dead" but there are a lot of other supernatural things going on(raining maggots, deadly flying glass,giblets scene,ect.) and one of the coolest death scenes has nothing to do with zombies(drill scene) , if you go into it expecting zombie-o-rama you might be a bit disappointed but if you go into it just looking for a dark, creepy gore-fest you will love this flick. Without a doubt in my top five Fulci movies.LONG LIVE HORROR, LONG LIVE FULCI.Movie Review: Fulci's Best!
Summary: 5 Stars
City Of The Living Dead is one of the best movies to ever come out of Italy.
John Morgen's performance in this movie tops the rest, The head drilling scene is classic. The film has a unique creepy feel to it and is very exciting. The way Fulci built up the suspense is Hitchcock worthy, Some may disagree but to me this film is very important. Many scenes in other horror films seem to have tooken a few ideas from City Of The Living Dead, It should be seen by every horror fan. Lucio Fulci deserves great credit for this masterpiece.
Buy It! It will be a wise choice.
Movie Review: If you like gore.....
Summary: 5 Stars
Fulci was brilliant. If you like real gore movies you will love this. if you don't, go watch scream or some other pg-13 teen "horror" flick.
The scene where the chick vomits up her intestines is awesome!!!!!
Movie Review: NOT FULCI BEST BUT REALLY GOOD
