   An
                            unidentified army airplane lands as an
                            army airforce which carries a radiation
                            and a group of blood drinking zombies
                            emerge armed with knives, guns and teeth
                            killing their way through as they need
                            constant transfusions of fresh blood from
                            living victims as they go through the
                            town of Italy to feed their hunger
                            through TV stations and hospitals. The army needs to put a stop to these
                            blood sucking freaks but somehow they
                            keep growing more and more when they
                            contaminate others.
 
  There is a good shot on an army plane
                              landing with certain people  all cornering the plane demanding them to
                                step out as it gives you a chilling
                                feeling that the living dead couple 
                                possibly be in the plane.
 The  zombie's
                                attacking and shooting people coming out
                                of the plane was not at all convincing
                                and very hokey.
 Nice funky moments on a TV station filming some sort of women doing an aerobics dancing and then later we spot a guy murdering some of the crew members as this makes you wonder as to why they are doing this. Then after we spot this there's good shots on the  
                                zombie's attacking a TV station as it explains things better  as we spot good shots
                                on the gruesome results as none of this looked pretty site to watch and a must for gorehounds who love horror violence even if it looks dated in today's standards.
 An average focus on Colonel Murchinson having a discussion with his troupes on what's happening as well as showing a corpse of a zombie and exlaining about extra terrestrial events which seems to grab your attention but however when we keep watching to see about alien encounters it doesn't reveal any of it and seemed to be a case of bad writing.
 Nice brief discussion with Dr. Anna Miller being plesaant to one of her patients as this seemed to strongly draw you in and things seem to look well focused between the two of them.
 Good strong moment when Major Warren Holmes calls his wife Sheila and telling her to stay locked in her home as this gives you the chills as well as her looking outside and seeing a lawnmower going by itself making you wonder if the nieghbor was killed by a zombie or not.
 Nice angle shots on Dean Miller   speeding
                                in his car and zombie's trying to cling
                                on to his vehicle.
 The discussions during many spots of the
                                film are boring and uninspired too about
                                what is going on.
 We have a nice moment by Anna   in a hospital with freaked
                                out expressions and zombie's attacking
                                her in a hospital with her running away
                                and freaking out. There's good moments this time with zombies coming in to try and trap her giving it a good spooky vibe.
 Plus a good zombie invasion outside of the hospital with nurses running amuck and one of them attacking which looked pretty intense.
 Effective and creepy situations when Sheila and her friend are trying to get away from zombies in a cellar as this looked perfectly done as well as a n artsy look on one of them doing a slaughtering to one of them. Certainly a good italian horror moment for the fans of this type.
 We also have a nice shot on Sheila Holmes turning around with
                                  a possessed feature on her face holding a
                                  knife.
 Perfect situation with both Dean and Anna going in a church to talk to a preacher with the side of his head turned and is silent as you get the creepy feeling he's an infected zombie himself.
 Powerful and creepy moments when they are struggling away from zombie's while locking themselves in an abandiones gas station with one of the zombies looking at them through a window as well as a nice shot on a car exploding with the zombie's surrounding it.
 There's good shots on Dean and Anna  running away from
                                zombie's at an abandoned amusement park
                                climbing up a roller coaster rail. Plus a great suspenseful situation when they try to climb a rope from a helicopter and Anna is struggling to hold on which keeps you watching in terror wondering if she will be able to climb it or fall off in which it looked strongly done and imagining being high in the air.
 Bottom line: I saw footage of this on Terror
                                  On Tape and it looked pretty bad
                                  but wanted to check it out regardless.
 The zombies looked amateurish as the make
                                  up effects looked like total Toxic
                                    Avenger. Also it was hard to
                                  know if they were zombie's as they do
                                  alot of fast action gunfighting but these
                                  filmmakers probably wanted to make it
                                  different than other living dead films.
                                  Well folks, they don't succeed. It was almost like a ripoff cross between
                                  a George A. Romero and Ted
                                    V. Mikels flick combined into one. However like mentioned had the odd amusing moments but doesn't save it from being average.
 
 The acting is hard
                            to judge as it was overdubbed by American
                            actors but it looks pretty bad to say the
                            least. I will try to dig up the cast worth mentioning which were basically the main one's here .... Lead actor Hugo Stiglitz (Dean Miller)                       doesn't pull off his part too well like
                            he should be doing as he bored me half to
                            death.Seemed to try and show energy while struggling away from the terror as well as showing anxious expressions but yet doesn't seem to do the trick at all when we watch him with his energised attitude. However, Laura Trotter (Dr. Anna Miller) who
                            played his wife seemed to do a fine job
                            with her scared emotions and great
                            expressions along with losing her mind during the terrors happening as she seemed convincing
                            enough to portray a character actress. Also shows a nice warm attitude during the beginning of the story since she seemed to come across as a good doctor in her hospital. Had the right looks for this role too.
 Maria Rosaria Omaggio (Sheila Holmes) had the okay looks for someone whom is a bit sleazy into all that she did here really getting into her lustful mode. Also knew on how to come across as kinky too. Plus showed nice concerned expressions. She shows it off with her freaked attitude when the terror strikes her as well as doing a good job acting insane at the end of her performance.
 Francisco Rabal (Major Warren Holmes) had the perfect rough and rugged looks for the part he was portraying as he seemed to fit this role well as well as coming across as serious and tough. Does well with his commandments along with showing some decent energy into all that he did here. Shows off well onto the camera with all that he did here.
 Mel Ferrer (Colonel Murchinson) also looked impressive with his seriousness in explaining on what is going on as well as showing nice worrysome expressions and does a good job stressing stuff. Offers a good mellow type of personality when he's talking about stuff but being on the ball which stood out well too.
 
 We have a breast shot on a
                            woman in a bedroom when a guy slips off
                            her top and makes a move on herA woman nurse has her top torn off by a
                            zombie
 Another woman is topless while being
                            cannibalised
 
 An arm is sliced
                            offHeads are shot or torn open
 Eyes are stabbed
 Heads are stabbed
 
 Stelvio
                            Cipriani seems to do the job for the
                            film as he has great drum thumping sounds
                            with some funky suspenseful piano music
                            too. There's some quivering music too
                            which gives it a nice zombie feel too. Plus we have some guitar bass thumping in many of the scene's as it was very catchy. The italian composers for horror flicks is very different compared to the typical classical playing that we often hear in North American horror flicks.           |
