Despite having heard about him for years,I've not seen one of the near 200 titles directed by Joe D'Amato. Gathering up titles from 1980 to view,I found a D'Amato film I picked up ages ago was from the year,leading to me getting set to witness some erotic nights.
View on the film:
Risking breaking his back by carrying the whole film on his shoulders,Marcello Giombini brings the dead to life with a terrific score, whose dark synch Prog Rock groove brings a creepy atmosphere to the lumbering zombie walks,and even makes the old fashion "cat meow" jump-scare charm.
Working on a super low budget, cinematographer/ director D'Amato surprisingly treats the lads and lasses in the audience equally, by offering a eyeful of sleazy skin from Laura Gemser & George Eastman (with Eastman also writing the script.)
Although the gore has a sloppy appearance of red paint being dabbed onto the necks of the cast, D'Amato goes back to the early days of zombie flicks, by chewing the slow-moving hungry types with the Voodoo West Indies origins over a erotic night of the living dead.
