Summary: Fulci and Anchor Bay ,a winning combo!!!!
Review: This movie kicks some serious #ss!!! Fulci with his very sleek and stylish horror direction in this film just like all his other zombie flicks give the viewer that creeped out feeling.I mean this movie will give you "the willies" no joke! I especially love the drill through the head scene,VERY REALISTIC and that totally sick and disgusting part when that gorgeous young girl pukes up her upper and lower intestines oh yeah, and not to mention her eyeballs are also dripping blood.The zombie sequences are visually stunning especially the way they stalk their prey and if your a zombie flick lover always notice the way Fulci's zombie actors never make stupid,moronic facial expressions like the Dawn of the Dead zombies I mean you lose your fear for zombies when they do that. Fulci is gone but his masterful work is lovingly remembered through Anchor Bay the true Fulci transfer masters!!! Buy it and join the Lucio Fulci league or be left out in the cold!

Summary: a great zombie movie :)
Review: I first saw this movie under the french name "frayeurs"... when I was about 12 and It was pretty scary. I was watching it really often until someone dub over the tape. I've search for this movie since many years and found it recently :) Thanks to the internet :)Now that I've finally been able to see it again (about 13 years later) I'm happy to say that I still love it. Of course its not as scary as when I first saw it but its pretty good. What I love about this movie is the atmosphere create by Fabio Frizzi's music and the zombies make-up is pretty well made... That Emily zombie is really scary. also a great thing is that the DVD is uncut :) the version I've saw 13 years ago have cut off all the gore scene... so it was the first time I've ever saw the complete widescreen version of the movie. Its one of the best Lucio Fulci's movie that I have saw (haven't see them all). I still need to see "The Beyond" for the first time and to watch "zombie" again (same story here, saw it when I was about 12 and someone dub over the tape)... can't wait till Anchor Bay re-release it. so ironically It seems that I am a fan of Lucio Fulci's movies since about 13 years and just find out about it ;) as for the DVD itself I think Anchor Bay did a great job with this movie. the picture and sound quality is as good as you can get with a movie that have more than 20 years of age... not many extra are available thought... you only get the theatrical trailer, 2 radio spot for the US release with stills pics from the movie & a little Bio about the director Lucio Fulci. But I guess its pretty hard to find rare footage for an old horror movie. If you love zombie movies I recommend to buy this DVD :)

Summary: Should have been able to give negative stars !!
Review: How anyone who considers themselves fans of the horror genre & zombie films in particular can rate this trash above 1 star is inconceivable. I'm glad I received a phone call in the middle of the movie. It woke me up !! Please save your hard earned money & stay away from this absolute waste of time. If you want horror & zombie films at their best, stick with the true master of the genre, George Romero.

Summary: Fulci knows horror!
Review: I cannot believe a horror lover wouldn't like this movie - Anchor Bay did an excellent job on the DVD, making it 5.1 Dolby Digital. I saw this when I was young on VHS and it made my sister wanna puke! Some things in it were a little unrealistic like people being buried in NY without embalming (sp?), but it gave horror fans what they need - horror fims, not a cop movie with a monster, or the life of a bunch of teens and a monster - he doesn't waste time on character's drab lives and routines, but still allows character set-up and his films have axcellent concepts.

Summary: The sum of its parts...
Review: 'City of the Living Dead' will not appeal to fair-weather Italio-zombie fans (I have seen the other reviews of this film and if you guys want to see a TERRIBLE flick...get City of the Walking Dead, it makes COTLD look like 'Citizen Kane'). People have to remember that Fulci wasn't about making sense of his storylines. He just tried to cram as much gore as he could into 89 or so minutes of film. COTLD is filled with fun...from an effortless organ regurgitation to punches in the back of the head only to reveal that the victims apparently had no skull. Then of course is the famous 'drill scene'. Heck, there is even a cameo apperance by Michele Soavi (director of 'Stage Fright', 'The Church', and the most popular 'Cemetary Man') How can a true gore fan NOT have fun with this film?!?!?!

Summary: Slightly above average Fulci film
Review: I was somewhat dissapointed by this movie after having seen Zombie and The Beyond. If you're just into it for the gore this movie has a decent amount of it, especially the gut-puking zombie scene. I do like my horror films to have a bit of a plot though, and this one kind of fell short in that department. On the plus side Fulci does create a very mencing and eerie atmosphere in this film. Skip this if you're new to Italian horror and start with The Beyond, Black Sabbath, Zombie and Susperia.

Summary: Fulci may be gone, but his legacy lives!
Review: Those who have seen "City of the Living Dead"(aka The Gates of Hell), might want to check out the DVD version, regardless if you liked it or not. The story, without spoiling much, is about a town that becomes "damned" after a preist kills himself. Doing so, the preist opens up the Gates of Hell. Now, no one is safe(of course)from zombies who can apear and dissapear like nothing, and, well, uh, can make the town's people bleed out of their eye's, and, well, I'm not gonna' ruin it for you. Just check it out. The FX in this flick are gory, gory, and gory! Not to over-hype it, but it does have some really good gory scene's. Now, the DVD it'self. I give it 4 stars, because I have seen it countless times on VHS, and I must say, on DVD it has never looked better. Don't go looking for ton's of bonuses though, because there are not very many at all. All in all, the movie it'self lacks an amazing plot, but what it lacks of, it makes up for in suspence and gore. If you are a Fulci fan, why are you reading this? Get to ordering!!

Summary: City Of The Living Stick Men
Review: By far the worst 'zombie' movie ever made, this film single handedly ruined my taste for Euro-trash. My reknowned collection of zombie films was tainted forever when I made the terrible mistake of accepting this for X-Mas. From start to finish, this movie will put you to sleep. And when you finally see the 'zombies' the light is so bad that they look like normal people, smudged with makeup, and with their arms tied to their sides to make them seem to waddle towards their annoying chatty victims. Do NOT watch this film.

Summary: Sub-par Fulci film
Review: "City Of the Living Dead" is perhaps the weakest Fulci film in the gore realm, relying on some rather effective, suspenseful sequences to create more of a horrific "moodsetting" for the audience. While these suspense-carrying vehicles are fantastic at times (such as the premature burial and tomb-raiding scenes), much of the film's screen-time is spent on character studies that really have little purpose. The gorey aspect is at a minimal as well, where only the gut-vomit and head-drilling scenes are memorable. I also get tired of Fulci's extreme close-ups during dialouge between minor characters. Most of them can't even act! If you are an avid Fulci-fanatic, check it out! But to newbies, I recommend The Beyond with confidence!

Summary: Boring.
Review: I have long been a fan of Zombie 2 (aka Zombie Flesh Eaters) and so was keen to expand my collection of Fulcio films. I browsed the reviews at Amazon and decided to buy City of the Living Dead. It was a big mistake. There is absolutly no excuse for making films this boring. The direction was boring, the script was boring, the acting (what there was of it ) was boring, the zombies were boring, the music was...well interesting, and even the scene of head boring was boring. Zombie 2 was well paced, with a coherent plot, good characters, regular scenes of zombie munching aswell as scantily clad women in peril. Everything you could ask for. City of the Living Dead was pants. The picture quality was ok I guess for a film of this budget, as was the sound, but then maybe I'd have been better of if I couldn't have seen it or heard it so well...it would have been a less painful experience.
