Summary: Dawn of the Zombies
Review: This is a review for the 'NIGHT OF THE ZOMBIES' DVD instead of 'Hell of the Living Dead' DVD. There are no differences except for the titles-same movie. But the transfer is horrible on this version honestly when people sometimes say it is so dark that you couldn't even see what is going on they are pulling your leg-BUT!!!!!!!!!! I swear to GOD this is so dark I'm really confused as to why the company released this print. Do What I did buy them both stick the 'Hell of the Living Dead' DVD in the 'Night' case w/the artwork and sell this dvd with the anchor bay art on ebay.

Summary: ZOMBIE FANS FLOCK... ALL OTHERS: BEWARE!
Review: This is one of the cheap knock-offs of DAWN OF THE DEAD, right down to the ripped-off soundtrack. It is poorly made, and sort of slow in parts (especially the terrible National Geographic stock wildlife footage)... but if you're into Zombies or European gore from the 70's/80's... this film is a MUST. When the zombies attack, the movie really kicks. Expect the usual gore as the cast is butchered. Great apocalyptic ending, too. I give this 4 stars from the view point of a zombie fanatic, if you like Zombies, you're at the right stop!!

Summary: The Hudson Hawk of zombie films
Review: This is the zombie film you get when you've already got all of the decent ones, and just need a complete zombie dvd collection. Where does one go when you've managed to buy the whole Romero and Fulci catalog? Well, you can get some good runners up like Burial Ground, Dead Alive, Let Sleeping Corpses Lie, Return Of The Living Dead and Zombie Holocaust, but then what? You can stoop to getting Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things, and if you're able to still live with yourself, you can pick up this and Zombi 3(both associated with Bruno Mattei!). This is for the hardcore zombie movie collector, no doubt about it. That's why I got it. I was also curious, coz for years I had the cruddy VHS copy under the title Night Of The Zombies. In that VHS copy, I could barely see what was going on, the quality was so bad. I basically got this just to SEE it. I'll admit, I watch it once and awhile, but I do warn you-This is pretty bad, even by the low standards of the genre. I know alot of Italian horror fans who disown this film. There's no point in explaining the plot, coz it's not that important or original. The interview with the director is pretty funny. He says himself that he doesn't like his films! So, with that said, buy at your own risk.

Summary: Bad, yes, but very entertaining
Review: This movie is really bad, but I found it to be very entertaining. It starts off well enough in some high tech facility that looks like a nuclear power plant but isn't.There are two guys in homemade radiation suits. On guy finds what looks like a dead rat, but isn't. After holding the seemingly dead rat by its tail to show his comrade, the camera cuts and a live rat is inserted. The live rat then waists no time in inserting itself into the first guy's homemade radiation suit. Then a blood squib explodes blood inside the suit, which is a pretty effective scene while the comrade looks on in horror. Then the opening credits with Dawn of the Dead music happens and the scene shifts to a hostage situation. A long haired swat team takes out a long haired enviro-terrorist group who are killing people to raise awareness of the impending zombie threat. Then the long haired swat team is sent to New Guinea, with orders so secret, they aren't even allowed to know what they are. They run smack into that scene from Night of the Living Dead where the little girl turns into a zombie and turns on her mother, only here, Mattei throws us for a loop by changing the sexes of the principals. Then they run into the best made up zombie in the whole movie as well as one of the best scenes in the whole movie. Apparently, he was a priest when he was alive. But now he's a zombie who likes to eat people and makes no apologies for it. Then there's a whole bunch of scenes inter cut with an actual documentary on New Guinea after which the movie takes on an Apocalypse Now feel as we come upon an abandoned mansion. At this point, the cast starts to drop like flies as we make our way to the Hope Center where we kind of learn that the cure for world hunger is to turn people into people hungry zombies. Then everybody dies, just like in Hamlet. The four stars are for the entertainment value. Its probably about one and a half to two stars for quality.
