Reader Reviews
For some reason, the name Lucio Fulci makes me buy many and many a movie. Its something of an addiction really, one that I sometimes love (as with Zombie and House by the Cemetery), sometimes question (as with the movie New Gladiators), and sometimes sigh at as the accumulation gods force me to buy. This movie is one of the latter times, something to throw into that questionmark-bearing rollercoaster ride, with loops and curves hitting various highs and lows that can either evoke startled jumps and enamored looks as gore flashes across the screen or assails with yawns and frowns as the movie makes less and less sense. Then there's also the issue of the movie suddenly deciding to forego that somewhat overrated idea many call a plot altogether and bumble around to keep some characters alive. Its hard to fault Lucio for this problem, though, because he did pull out of the creation of this film before its completion after some storyline disagreements. In fact, the movie had to be finished by someone else altogether, and I had often wondered what these motivational factors were. Well, here's what I discovered. The beginning of the plot (the part that is coherent): The movie starts out in the most conventional of fashions. Doctors trying to perfect a bioweapon simply known as Death 1 gruesomely perfect a virus that can animate the dead and decide that the army needs to come in and safely remove a sample of it. On the way to the helicopter, a van full of lab-coat clad terrorists with guns that mysteriously fire sometimes and only make popgun sounds at others, temporarily steal the virus away. It costs all these men save one their lives, however, and the survivor is off with a metallic briefcase full of virus, pursuers in tow that have guns that suffer the same fate as the terrorist's guns did, plus a helicopter added to the fray for good measure. In the ensuing chase some rounds are fired from the sky, the terrorist is hit and the case is dropped and the vial containing the virus is broken. Thus the infection begins. The terrorist stumbles to a hotel, acquires himself a room and starts making a mess right away. After chopping off his hand for some unexplained reason (the virus originally infected him there, but it was showing everywhere else as well), he kills a bit, awaiting the government's reaction that comes in a swift and brutal fashion. Then, in a Return of the Living Dead manner, the infected body is burned and the atmosphere is infected. Enter our main characters, three army men and a camper full of five individuals, who are accosted by a flock of infected birds and subsequently must stop at the now defunct hotel. Here, they begin to make discoveries, horrid ones, about the fate that has quickly begun to take over the town in the most undead of manners, losing some members of their swollen party in the process. The plot thickens (hemorrhages, is spliced into a movie I somehow missed): After the killing starts, the movie begins to bumble around. The characters separate and run into the supposed zombies; beasts that sometimes shamble and sometimes run, ones that can use weapons and that hide like amusements inside of a haunted house. They seem frightening enough at first, eating and goring anything in sight, until it is discovered that they have a bit of a flaw. They die really easily. Yes, these mawing machines have a resistance to the atypical sharp/blunt weaponry, but hot lead claws through their ranks o so easily. Well, the plot bumbles some more, a new female character is introduced, and then they ban together for the last half of the movie's plot; fleeing. Still, amidst the fleeing, many things happen that really don't seem to make sense. For instance, a cleanup crew of government men that have been ordered to kill everyone run into two of our main characters and basically get into fisticuffs with them instead of simply mowing them down. Later, when the survivors are trying to escape, one of them yells that they are out of shells and that they'll have to make a run for it. This isn't the case later, however, as his gun seems to replenish itself, making me wonder what has just transpired. (And the list goes on and on) Basically, the beginning of the movie was really entertaining but, at the end, I couldn't fight back the yawning perplexion breeding in my head. If you want to see zombies with paper-thin resistance and some gore, I suppose you could watch it. Still, I'd advise you turn it off at the halfway marker.
