The Seven Gates of Hell have been torn open, and in 3 days the dead shall rise and walk the earth. As a reporter (Christopher George) and a psychic (Catriona MacColl) race to close the portals of the damned, they encounter a seething nightmare of unspeakable evil. The city is alive - with the horrors of the living dead! This film is by Lucio Fulci. After a priest commits suicide, a ghastly horror is unleashed on the quaint New England town of Dunwich. The rotting denizens of the local cemetery rise and walk the Earth. A journalist teams up with a psychic to send the dead back into the earth. If their race against time is lost, within three days all hell will break loose--literally! Highly recommended, although not for the squeamish. US theatrical release 1983 (Unrated).
Filmed on location in Savannah Georgia.
Begins a three film (CITY OF THE LIVING DEAD, THE BEYOND and HOUSE BY THE CEMETERY) collaboration between director Lucio Fulci and actress Katherine MacColl.
In the credits for CITY OF THE LIVING DEAD, Katherine MaCaoll is listed by her birth name, Catriona. After her agent came to realize that Italian words ending in o-n-a typically mean "large," the actress decided on the name change for her next two films with director Lucio Fulci.
On England's "video nasties" list and released there without the power-drill sequence and the woman vomiting her innards.
Actress Katherine MacColl nearly refused to perform in two scenes; one in which she is to be buried alive then rescued via a near-miss pick-axe chopping through the coffin, and the second being the maggot windstorm scene, which was a combination of rice and actual worms. The actress confessed to being in "real" tears during the later scene.
Features director Michele Soavi (THE CHURCH, CEMETERY MAN) in a bit part as as "Tommy".
CITY OF THE LIVING DEAD contains an abundance of inadvertently comical camera zoom-ins to the actor's eyes, which became standard in the following Lucio Fulci's films.
Fulci credits the film's ending to editor Vincenzo Tomassi, whom created the scene after the original footage was accidentally destroyed.

City Of The Living Dead Movie Review Average Rating: (2.8 out of 5 stars)  Don't let the title fool you.
City of the living dead. Well as the title says i was expecting more of Night of the living dead, Dawn of the dead type of movie. But as i watched the movie it was totaly different from what i expected from the title. After i got over this, i think that i can sum this movie up in a few sentencs. The movie is very atmospheric, some nice gore scenes, few zombies but with some great zombie make up i thought.
Overall this movie was ok and although the story line did not make any sense, there were things in this movie to keep you interested. But don't expect a city full of zombies, going around eating people and stuff. But i guess for the price and everything, it's worth buying and checking out.

Not a great movie
Not a very good zombie movie it is very slow and boring and not much zombie action.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  Strange but a good movie
Fulci's films are impredictible and nothing easy to understand but area good. Director's of today would take some Fulci's elements to do good horror movies.
This is an interesting movie, great FX and weird movie but importante for every horror fan.

After a New York harbor patrolman is murdered at the hands of a flesh-hungry ghoul aboard what was believed to be an abandoned yacht, Anne (Tisa Farrow)--the daughter of the ship's missing owner--teams up with a newspaper reporter named Peter West (Ian McCulloch) for a private investigation. With the help of a pair of sightseers, they travel to the secluded Caribbean island of Matul, where Anne's father was last seen conducting medical research. There, they meet his colleague, Dr. Menard (Richard Johnson), who frantically attempts to find a scientific explanation for a phenomenon that has plagued the island; it seems as if the dead refuse to stay dead. The locals believe a voodoo curse is at work as scores of animated corpses rise from their graves to hungrily seek out live flesh. Anne learns her father has died, but before she and the others can return to civilization, they are forced into battle with a plethora of bloodthirsty zombies.

City Of The Living Dead review
$10.25
CRAZY/BEAUTIFUL: CRAZY/BEAUTIFUL is not your typical teen romance. The film offers a grittier, more realistic take on the subject than most. It manages to be sweetly romantic without pandering to, or insulting, the intelligence of its intended audience. Director John Stockwell uses an unobtrusive, verité style to bring a strong script from debut screenwriters Phil Hay and Matt Manfredi to the screen. Stockwell began his film career as an actor (perhaps best known for playing the main character's best friend and protector in John Carpenter's CHRISTINE), and that experience is evident in his handling of the cast. The multifaceted Kirsten Dunst (BRING IT ON) plays the troubled Nicole, a rich girl whose self-destructive behavior stems from a traumatic experience in her past. Newcomer Jay Hernandez makes a strong impression as Carlos, a talented, intelligent, straight-laced Latino boy determined to succeed ...
