Although, even if it had been made in 1980, I would still consider it a very good movie. Lenzi manages perfectly to capture the feeling of the worst of the b-movies (which in my world means the best); a sense of the director being completely uninterested in the script; just making the movie because he has to, or working off an idea which he thought was interesting for one day and then just continuing for the sake of it.
The acting and the plot are uninteresting and unimportant. What is interesting is the zombies and the special effects. I don't think I've ever seen real afro-american zombies before, so this was a new exciting thing. They look really frightening and extreme, especially one of them. The deaths in the movie are quite gruesome. I give the movie 9 out of 10 points, for being such a nostalgic shot from the hip. The thing that prevents me from giving it a 10 is that the scenes of dialogue have no charm - and that's because it's from 1991...so no funny men in funny moustaches who say hilarious things.
