Jens B This film delivers exactly what you'd expect from a trashy flick helmed by Bruno Mattei. Or to put it another way: a trashy, moody romp full of 'zombies,' wide-eyed stunners, bad dubbing, cheap effects, cheap sets, stock footage, the score from "Dawn of the Dead," a simple yet incomprehensible plot (Why is the woman suddenly jumping around naked and painted in a native village?), and probably a lot of coke behind the scenes. I can't explain the result any other way. But I'm not complaining either... Only in the middle section does the pace noticeably slow; the whole native thing seems to me to have grown out of "Cannibal Holocaust" and various Mondo documentaries. Like his role models, Mattei also tries to squeeze some half-baked political/socio-critical commentary into his exploitation – it doesn't work, but it only hinders the film for a few minutes. Bonus points go to the soldier with the crazy eyes who shoots the zombie child with his machine gun. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/15/25 Full Review Jonathan O Hell of the Living Dead is absolutely outrageously bad good Italian zombie horror film and is quite actually the guilty pleasure for zombie fans and the filmmaker borrowed the goblin score from dawn of the dead and stole the scenes from the documentary reels of cannibalism but is really disgusting and shocking violent horror film that is actually a horror comedy. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/10/24 Full Review xpig332 B So bad in every respect that it kept me entertained, somewhat. Definitely a one time view. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/11/25 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 0.5/5 Stars •  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 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/17/18 Full Review Audience Member Why would anyone like this movie?
