Hell Of The Living Dead [Blu-ray] [2023] [Region A & B & C]

Product Information

Chewing the Scenery: Zantoro, and the film is all the more entertaining for it. Actor Franco Garofalo did most of this by improv, according to the DVD bonus feature documentary on the blu-ray. Downer Ending: All of the main cast is eaten by the zombies. Meanwhile, the zombie plague is spreading across the world. Mattei later expressed that he felt the film's dialogue was "pretty stupid" and that like all his films, he would reshoot it if possible. [6] When asked how she felt about the film in 2013, actress Margit Evelyn Newton responded that "Obviously seeing it now, I would change some things. But that is okay. Virus has helped me get more work." [9] Fragasso commented on the film later saying that the film "designed with lots of love, but in the end it came out a test tube baby, a kind of abortion [...] But I'm satisfied with the end results." [12] See also [ edit ] Would someone please explain to me why the hell anyone would consider something like Dawn of the Dead or Lucio Fulci's Zombie's 2 superior to Bruno Mattei's masterpiece, Hell of the Living Dead. What I've mostly read about this movie is criticism. Hell is ten times better than anything Lucio Fulci ever did, bold statement? I don't think so. Lucio Fulci's work is boring, the gore scenes are literally the only positive thing. Most Italian horror is a bit on the boring side anyway, even Beyond the Darkness, the grim masterpiece that it is, is a tad boring, Hell of the Living Dead is not boring, for 70's standards, as well as todays. The fact that the score is very "borrowed" means nothing to me, I mean, who the hell cares? Stealing Goblin tunes was a stroke of genius. So, don't believe the nay sayers, Hell of the Living Dead is quality horror. was an interesting year in the world of horror films. The cannibal subgenre was building up steam, expanding on the previously released Ultimo Mondo Cannibale and The Mountain of the Cannibal God with Cannibal Apocalypse, Cannibal Holocaust, and Eaten Alive all hitting the big screen that year. At the same time, capitalizing on George Romero’s success with Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead, zombie films were gaining popularity as well, especially in Italy, with Fulci giving us City of the Living Dead and Zombie and Girolami delivering Zombie Holocaust. Meanwhile, Bruno Mattei had just gotten his filmmaking career started and was about to start churning out the exploitation: 1980 saw him release a sex-based mondo film, a nunsploitation film, a hardcore adult film, and a zombie movie with hints of the cannibal film influence, Hell of the Living Dead.

I sort of understand what you say which is why i made it clear they are phone images but i have tried it HDR on, Dolby vision on and off and it looks just about the same all ways - the 88 blu ray also looks the same as the 4k colour wise so why would that also look the same as I would have thought that HDR would not affect the colour on the blu ray? Why would the Blue Underground blu ray look completely different to the 88 films one playing them on the same setup and why would the colour on the trailer that is on the 88 films blu ray look different to the colour on the film itself on the same blu ray?

Films says this version is a “Brand new 4K Remaster from the Original Negatives presented in High Definition (2160p) in 1.85:1 Aspect Ratio”. Among the cast was Margit Evelyn Newton as Lia. [8] Newton recalled that she felt a great sense of responsibility at the time, playing the film's protagonist. [9] Newton felt nervous in a scene involving nudity in front of the indigenous people. [9] She asked that everyone be removed from the set, with only indispensable cast and crew remaining. [9] The scene was shot in one day. [9] I think I would recommend this movie only to the people who are able to turn off their brains and just get some tasty fun with those old garbage films, if you can't do that, I'm sorry but this is definetly not for you so, don't even mind watching it, you're probably not going to like it since, well, it's NOT good. Claudio Fragasso stated he wrote Hell of the Living Dead with Rossella Drudi, his frequent co-scripter. [7] Fragasso felt there had been several zombie films made recently, and wanted to do something different after watching Dawn of the Dead suggesting the film would be like Soylent Green as well as envisioning the film as "an undead epic, a kind of Apocalypse Now". [7] From here on it should have been an awesome film but the Directors, Bruno Mattei (who used the name Vincent Dawn) - this action speaks volumes - and Claudio Fragasso (who also co-wrote the story with Jose Maria Cunilles) decided to go an entirely different route than you would ever imagine.

Zombie Apocalypse: Obviously in third-world nations, but it has spread to first-world by the end of the movie.

I mean, you'd totally expect the colour to look wrong if "HDR is off". Those phone shots are less than useless (and the previous one from an earlier post was forced Dolby Vision?). Hell of the Living Dead was released in Spain in November 1980 and in Italy in August 1981 and released in the United States in 1983. [15] [16] It was described as "moderately profitable" in Glenn Kay's book Zombie Movies: The Ultimate Guide. [17] It has been released under several titles, including Virus, Night of the Zombies and Zombie Creeping Flesh. [18] Critical reception [ edit ]

When I first saw this movie on Cinemax nearly 20 years ago, I thought it was very gory and scary. Having seen it again just recently, it's still gory, but it is quite possibly the worst movie ever. I'm convinced it would draw ridicule from Ed Wood. Co-directed by Bruno Mattei and Claudio Fragasso, architect of the infamously bad 'Troll 2,' the movie is hilariously plagued by various other distractions. Working under the pseudonym Vincent Dawn and co-written by Hervé Piccini, the story supposedly takes place over two centuries after nuclear war but everyone and everything remains trapped in 1984, from the clothing and hair to the technology. A computer the size of a living room with a 12-inch monitor is nothing more than a wall of buttons, and a rotary pay phone still stands intact on a sidewalk. Even funnier is that these relatively young characters actually know what these devices are and how to use them. One Hare Krishna dude spews encyclopedia-like verbiage as if comically adding another futuristic air. Altogether, however, it makes for a fun time with a side-splitting twist at the conclusion. (Movie Rating: 3/5)
