Reviews for The City of the Living Dead
Teleporting Zombies! Hanging priests! Bleeding eyes! Organ regurgitation! The plot is meaningless and the characters senseless. But these are pluses for films in this cycle.
Drink less [than six beers], you'll be bored with the nonsensical plot. Drink more, you'll probably vomit when you see a girl in the movie literally puke her guts out.
The very epitome of giallo; Fulci's masterpiece, but also among the worst films I've ever seen.
