Tim Brayton Antagony & Ecstasy More than any of its myriad names, the truest is one that has never, as far as I know, been given to it in any release in any country: That F---awful Bruno Mattei Zombie Flick.

xpig332 B So bad in every respect that it kept me entertained, somewhat. Definitely a one time view. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/24 Full Review Max Z Honesty could not get through this one. I blame Dario Argentine for all the bad Italian zombie movies (his recut of Dawn of the Dead for the Euro market) but this one is particularly awful. Too much bad exposition and preamble, random characters, "elite soldiers" who don't even know how to hold their guns, bad acting, bad script mostly ad libbed, and stock footage thrown in to make Spain look like papa New Guinea. Hard to believe they copied Romero and literally got it all wrong. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/08/23 Full Review delysid d yet another italian zombie-cannibal film that seems to have been made on some kind of assembly line, all the films are practically the same, still they are classics to me Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/17/18 Full Review Audience Member Why would anyone like this movie? It's wonderful late night cheese. It does feature the worst commando unit, ever! These guys can't kill shit! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Bad in every sense of the word. It recycles Goblin score from Dawn of the Dead, the zombies are half oatmeal face and half ripped off from Tom Savini's DOTD look, the writing is awful, there's documentary footage spliced in because there's obviously no money, and you just don't care what happens. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member A 1980 Italian movie similar to Zombi 2 or Zombie Holocaust, a zombie outbreak occurs on an island full of native "savages" with primitive rituals. The outbreak, however, is caused by Western chemical companies and secret agents in blue jump suits are sent to New Genie where they run into a couple of journalists reporting on the scene. Lots of really cool gore effects, tons of zombies and a soundtrack made of Goblin tracks (although I think they are from other films). Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
