Le notti erotiche dei morti viventi (1980)
Just.....not that good
I'd wanted to see this film for a very long time. Joe D'Amato is my favourite director and as the film stars his regulars Laura Gemser and George Eastman it really was a must. Unfortunately I was extremely disappointed. Firstly, there are a couple of long hardcore scenes in the film, which make the film about 20 minutes longer than it should be. The acting is very amateurish so any scary atmosphere of the film is covered up by cheesiness. There is little, if any plot, and the gore scenes are few and far between. The gore scenes could be really graphic and disturbing, but no, papier mache would have been more convincing. As for the ending- I think it was obvious from the very beginning. I'm happy I've seen the film as it is a rarity but now I know why the film is almost a forgotten one. Joe D'Amato should have chosen to make an adult OR a zombie film, as with this odd cross-genre, he has failed miserably. Recommended only if you are an extreme D'Amato fan like myself. 3 out of 10.
