After a chemical leak at the Hope Centre in Papua New Guinea (an organization devoted to feeding underdeveloped countries) turns its staff into flesh-eating zombies, a four-man commando squad led by Mike London are sent to investigate. They run into a TV news crew led by celebrity reporter Lia, who are after the same story, but when they discover that the entire country has been overrun by zombies, what are the chances of them getting the message across? Unlike most zombie films, this actually tries to make a serious point - that if we don't feed the Third World, they'll come and feed on us!

| Antagony & EcstasyTim BraytonMore 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. |
| User ReviewAndrew KNot a good film at all but fun to watch. Lots of strange stock footage (eg weird voodoo rituals etc) and a completely ripped off score. |
| User ReviewR.John XMy favorite Mattei film. Such a rip off and a movie that is all over the place, but it sure is fuuuun to watch!! |
| User ReviewI have Riboflavin flavored bloodits so bad its good with stolen music from Goblin's Dawn of the Dead the director went on to do Zombi 3 |
| User ReviewAshley .I simply fucking love this trashy fucking piece of shit! Bruno Mattei R.I.P... Bruno Mattei LIVES!!! |
| User ReviewBrandon BWhen it comes to Dawn of the Dead rip-offs, there is one movie that stands above the rest of the pack: Hell of the Living Dead! Derided by many horror fans as the worst zombie movie ever made, this film is nowhere near as bad as its critics would have you think. Or maybe it is... but it's so bad its good! Unlike House of the Dead or Dawn of the Dead '04, which are just so bad they're bad. A classic in the Italian zombie movie tradition and featuring tons of pointless gore and idiots who can't figure out how to shoot zombies in the head. A favorite character is the nutjob who likes to play chicken with the zombies. Bruno Mattei is the Scorsese of bad Italian horror films! Plus, keep your ears peeled for the amazing Goblin score, cribbed from Romero's Dawn of the Dead! |

| User ReviewChristopher SAKA Zombie Creeping Flesh, Virus, Cannibal Virus, Night of the Zombies, Zombie Inferno, Zombies of the Savanna, Inferno dei morti-viventi, & Zombi 2: Ultimate Nightmare. A team of four commandos go to New Guinea to investigate a chemical leak at a research factory. They run into a reporter named Lia & her camera man Max...after both are nearly devoured by the living dead. This movie is bad. Really bad. But is it bad in a good kind of way? Yes. Some hate this movie. As with most really bad zombie movies, I loved it. Filled to the brim with cheese, bad acting, bad dubbing, stock footage of animals running & jumping as well as stock footage of tribal people dancing, zombies getting shot anywhere but the head then finally the head, & gore gore gore. 102 minutes of pure schlock & I wouldn't have it any other way. It also ripped off Dawn of the Dead in numerous ways, which I'll get to in a bit. Highlights include: a rat attacking a man & killing him while his partner watches & does nothing, Lia getting naked & wearing tribal pant to go amongst the tribe, Max looking like Yanni, a kid zombie devouring his father in a Land Rover, one of the commando members putting on a tutu & dancing before getting eaten by zombies, another commando running into crowds of zombies..taunting them & living to tell about it...until the film draws to the end, a tongue-rip followed by the hand going into the mouth & poking the eyes out, zombie tribe members attacking the living tribe members, a hilarious looking zombie priest(look at his facial expression), & a cat bursting out of an old lady zombie while she plays dead in a rocking chair. So look out for all of the above & then some! Hell of the Living Dead rips off Dawn of the Dead a good bit. You'll notice some Goblin tracks from Dawn of the Dead in this movie. Also, there's a raid featuring a the commandos. They're dressed in attire similar to that of Roger & Peter from Dawn of the Dead. It's pretty evident & Hell of the Living Dead doesn't try to hide it. There is a lot of random stock footage that adds to the laughter factor of the movie. Monkeys jumping in trees, animals running, animals attacking other animals, tribal dances, etc. It'll just make you laugh even more. This film is violent & the gore is over the type. Not the goriest movie I've ever seen but still quite gory. Gorehounds and/or people who enjoy shitty movies will love this. Directed by Bruno Mattei. Claudio Fragasso was one of the writers on this so you know this is a turd spray-painted gold immediately. Fragasso= quality! Check it out! I picked up a double feature DVD with this movie plus Rats, another Mattei movie. It was under $10 brand new on the Amazon marketplace. Well worth it. Mattei is credited as Vincent Dawn on both films. |
| User ReviewJonathan WProbably one of the worst movies ever made but it's so bad it's bloody amazing. I know this movie as Zombie Creeping Flesh but I own the US titled Hell of the Loving Dead DVD. Margit Evelyn Newton gets her kit off (for no reason other than to show some flesh) and the gore fx are plenty...Enough reason right there to watch it. This movie was on the UK video nasties list for mega years. If you love 80's horror movies then you need to check this out. Just know it is really rubbish in every way but it's still one of the best Friday night movies ever made, watch it with friends and just have fun ripping the piss from every magical moment of it. |
| User ReviewRyan MThis is a hard movie to rate and with this review I send a warning. According to the status quo this film is a total turkey. Acoording to film lovers like Tarantino and myself it is a comic dream of a zombie movie that must be experienced to understand. If Mattei wasn't so into softcore porn and more into movies like this I would be eagerly seeking his work, but alas he ended up going the way of European pervert instead of inspired cult film-maker. If you truly love movies you will enjoy this unique piece of work. |
